Ross Hamilton

Ross Hamilton is a highly successful entrepreneur and investor from Wilmington, North Carolina. Growing up, Ross was an avid BMX freestyler and trained with the legendary Dave Mirra, the "Michael Jordan" of BMX. Unfortunately, a serious injury forced him to retire from his BMX career and he began searching for a new career path. After browsing the self-help and investing sections of Barnes and Noble, Ross found his calling in the world of real estate. In a short amount of time, Ross had amassed a portfolio of 50 residential properties in Wilmington. Just before the real estate crash of 2008, Ross began selling off some of his properties, taking the profits to create Connected Investors, a social network for real estate investors, and PrivateLenders.com, a marketplace of non-bank private lenders. Ross' tech company was eventually sold to First American for aproximately $100 million, giving him the resources to do even more. In recent years, he has continued to expand his real estate empire, buying 176 houses in the past year primarily along the east coast and has been able to author several books that have been professionally published.
