Real Estate Investor Brian Grimes Traded Hoop Dreams For Finance on the NYMEX Floor

A conversation on the floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange while he was an undergraduate student at Columbia University changed Brian Grimes’ life. After graduating from Columbia in 2011, he embarked on a career in Financial Planning at AXA Advisors before transitioning to high net worth asset management at Bridgewater Advisors. In 2015, he launched his own real estate development company in his home town of Philadelphia. He’s gone on to gut and renovate over 300 rental properties across the country using the BRRRR strategy.

He founded the 24/7 Cash Flow University to teach students how to create passive income and escape their 9-5 desk job. Through his 100Key$ Master Class, Brian teaches students how to acquire, full-gut renovate and stabilize cash flowing rental property portfolios.

He lives in the Bronx with his wife, Zila Acosta-Grimes and two sons, Brian III and Tomas.
