The Founders of Fort House Enterprises Business and Commercial Real Estate Lending
Ending the Year with Immense Gratitude and Gearing Up for Unprecedented Growth in Business and Commercial Real Estate Financing! 🤝✨
As this year wraps up, my heart is overflowing with gratitude for Pace Morby’s incredible community. It’s a bold statement, but being part of this ecosystem has genuinely changed the entire trajectory of my life and professional journey. I want to share a piece of that story, focusing on the power of connection, the strategies that work, and our commitment to building robust financial structures that empower everyone to win.
The Spark that Ignited My Path: Meeting the Titans of Creative Financing
My journey began with a single, serendipitous meeting during Pace Morby’s book tour stop in Dallas. The energy was palpable. Jamil Damji's enthusiasm for creative financing was contagious, and Pace was so incredibly personable, approachable, and willing to share his wealth of knowledge.
Before that day, I was aware of traditional real estate paths, but these interactions opened my eyes to possibilities in real estate investing and alternative financing strategies I hadn’t even remotely considered. It was the moment I realized that success in the real estate space wasn't just about capital; it was about community, strategy, and collaboration.
The Power of the Community: Building a Network and Honing Skills
Like many of you seeking a path in creative finance and real estate wholesaling, I jumped in headfirst and started implementing the various strategies Pace taught. The learning curve was steep but rewarding, primarily because I was never alone.
Along the way, I’ve met truly wonderful, like-minded individuals driven by a shared mission to succeed ethically and collaboratively. The support system here is second to none. I was fortunate enough to find an incredible business partner right within these ranks—a major shoutout to Monica Cruz!—and even received great hands-on communication training from Brei Larmoyeux, refining crucial skills for business negotiation and team building.
Discovering My True Calling: The Engine Behind the Deal Flow
Through these experiences and the collaborative challenges, I discovered where my true passion lies. I have a heart for service and a knack for being behind the scenes, ensuring that the necessary infrastructure is sound. Specifically, I thrive on building the financial structures and robust funding solutions that empower people to win—especially in complex areas like business funding and commercial real estate financing.
Honestly, I couldn’t have navigated any of this without the foundation provided by this group. The ability to network and connect with seasoned professionals is a game-changer. Thank you, Pace, for cultivating this environment and making these life-altering connections possible!
I absolutely love hearing everyone's success stories! It reinforces the core belief that we really do all win when we work together and leverage each other's strengths.
Featured Spotlight: A look back on Fort House Enterprises and My Partnership with Monica Cruz
My involvement in Pace Morby’s community since 2023 was the catalyst for one of the most meaningful professional and personal relationships of my life. I am incredibly grateful to Pace for bringing us all together, as it was here that I met my great friend and business partner, Monica Cruz.
A Friendship Beyond Geography: From Texas to California
When I first met Monica, I was relatively new to the community, feeling my way through the processes. We became instant besties, connecting over shared goals and complementary skill sets. I live here in Texas, and she is based in California, but unlike our childhood days when distance meant pen pals and long waits, distance doesn’t matter in the modern age—thank goodness for technology like Zoom and collaborative platforms!
Our friendship is built on mutual support and showing up. Last year, Monica decided to pursue her passion and become a certified yoga instructor, asking for my support during her rigorous training. She had to create daily videos and needed a reliable person to be present during her final certification process. I showed up every single day, participating alongside her. Thanks to that commitment, I'm way better at yoga now! Yes, I flew from Texas to California just to help her get certified—that’s what true friends and business partners do; they show up without hesitation. She has since gone on to achieve more certifications, qualifying her to train others in becoming yoga instructors.
The Perfect Partnership: Synergy in Business and Personality
In the Pace Morby community, Monica and I officially teamed up, working on some of the real estate challenges and business development initiatives Pace has designed to push us beyond our comfort zones. Our dynamic works perfectly: Monica is incredibly outgoing, vibrant, and a natural communicator, connecting with a lot of our community. While I’m a little on the shy side until I warm up—then you can’t get me to hush, lol. This balance of introversion and extroversion allows us to cover all necessary ground in our business operations. She keeps me on my toes and pushes me out of my shy shell to grow. I have loved all the adventures with Monica Cruz, my friend, mentor, and business partner.
