Show Host

I'm Mario Dattilo and I got into business for myself while I was in high school and have been an entrepreneur ever since (I'd make a horrible employee!). After watching my Dad as a home builder growing up, I NEVER thought I would want to be in real estate, but I fell into real estate investing over 16 years ago and I LOVE IT! I've made all the mistakes you can make over the years but have amassed a sizable real estate investment portfolio of Mobile Home Parks and Self Storage and own multiple companies. My network of some of the top commercial real estate investors and entrepreneurs is what I am introducing you to in this podcast. Enjoy!
