Unconventional Life With Jules Schroeder

Ross Hamilton is the author of several books and the founder of Connected Investors, an investment property marketplace and social network for real estate investors. As a young adult, Ross had a passion for BMX freestyling and trained with the renowned Dave Mirra, the "Michael Jordan" of the sport. Unfortunately, a severe injury forced him to retire from the sport, and he began looking for a new career. Inspired by his entrepreneurial family, Ross discovered real estate while browsing the self-help and investing sections of Barnes and Noble. He quickly amassed a portfolio of 50 residential properties in Wilmington, then sold some of them before the 2008 real estate crash, using the profits to establish Connected Investors. Eventually, Ross' tech company was sold to First American for approximately $100 million. Ross decided to retire at 40 and started an estate-based charity to help those in need.
