Family Legacy & Early Exposure Raised in New Orleans by a single mother and grandparents, Justin learned property management as a child. His mother’s real estate investments post-Katrina laid the foundation for his career. “I knew how to write a lease at ten… file eviction at 12… manage property before high school.” 🗣️ Notable Quotes “If you don’t plan, you plan to fail.” “Let’s teach you to do it right.
