Omar Mohammed
Investor

Omar did everything right. After immigrating to the US 43 years ago with only $1,800 in his pocket, he worked through school, earned a degree in Civil Engineering followed by an MBA, started a grocery store, bought the retail strip mall, and by 1997 he supposedly retired. He started buying residential properties including large multi-family apartment complexes in the San Francisco Bay Area. He eventually had $30 Million in property. He sold everything and invested in two remote strip malls in early 2007 at the age of 65. He followed the advice of his broker and his attorney. He lost everything. He shares generously what he learned in hopes others will learn from his blind spots.

Mr. Orchard is a filmmaker and expert researcher. He followed hundreds of CRE portfolio owners since 2009. Mr. Orchard observed first hand how many professionals unintentionally give poor advice due to their lack of understanding of the entire investor problem, and he saw many investors harmed as a consequence.   He focused his interview questions to learn how the experts in this film protect and enhance wealth.  The film reviews three key areas to protect wealth when things go wrong: (1) the unwritten rules of real estate, (2) the role of revenue reserve to protect an investment and (3) sheltering wealth through real asset protection.
