About Zach Alms

Zach is a seasoned real estate investor with over a decade of experience in the industry. His passion for real estate began at a young age when he started handling property management and maintenance duties for his family’s small multi-family units. At just 20 years old, Zach embarked on his investment journey with a single-family home, renting out spare rooms to help offset the mortgage payment. From there, he progressed to 4-unit, 8-unit, and 12-unit apartment buildings before ultimately focusing on commercial real estate. He now specializes in retail strip centers and has a keen eye for identifying high-value investment opportunities.
