Anthony Chara is a seasoned Real Estate investor that has investing and property management experience dating back to 1993. After 16 years working for a fortune 500 company and traveling extensively it was time for a change. Mr. Chara gave up his lucrative Area Manager position in which he managed 35 electronic technicians in 7 states and a $3M budget so he could spend less time traveling and more time creating wealth for his family. He turned to full-time Real Estate investing around 2004. He has also started several services and/or education-oriented companies.
Presently, he's managing member of Apartment Mentors and founder of Success Classes. He has owned or managed several successful companies during the last 20+ years. Mr. Chara owns or has owned properties in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Belize, and Paraguay.
He has taught several thousand aspiring RE investors. Mr. Chara also volunteers and supports several worthy charities such as the American Red Cross, Denver Rescue Mission, Habitat for Humanity, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and the Wounded Warrior Project.
Mr. Chara turned to Apartments full time in 2004. He’s owned, partnered and/or has syndicated over 2000 apartment units around the country since that time. These units range from 31 units in 1 complex in Pennsylvania to 410 units in 4 complexes in Indianapolis. Some of his partnerships include a 100-unit complex in Longview, TX, a 31-unit complex in Pottstown, PA, a 100-unit complex in Macon, GA, a 48-unit property in Lebanon, OH, a 60-unit complex in Burlington, IA, 9 units in a Hilton Hotel complex in Belize and Green Houses & Orange Grove lots in Paraguay.
In 2006, Mr. Chara decided to capitalize on recent RE market trends to offer superior technical training to RE Investors specifically targeting commercial investing with an emphasis on Apartment complexes. Mr. Chara’s techniques teach people how to analyze properties to see if the Buyer can increase cash flow and value for themselves and their investors.
Having reviewed several other gurus in the marketplace that specialize in Apartments, he set out to design and implement the best quality Apartment Investing training class in the market today. He taught his first class in September 2006, and he believes very strongly, based on the testimonials that he’s received, that he has achieved this goal.
