Practical wisdom and creative problem-solving approaches

Mark shares how his background in software development gave him an edge in real estate investing. With years of experience building solutions in tech, he learned that success comes from problem-solving—and that skill translates perfectly into real estate.

He and his partner Cheryl founded QZen, combining his technical mindset with her customer support expertise to create a business rooted in practical wisdom, ethics, and balance. Together, they focus on doing what’s right for their clients, even when it means taking a loss, and building long-term success through relationships.

Mark discusses his path from flipping homes to managing mid-term and student rentals, and how creative strategies—like mid-term leases for traveling professionals—help them stay flexible and profitable. He also opens up about contractor challenges, lessons learned, and his next chapter: transitioning from flipping houses to flipping notes.

Listeners will walk away inspired to apply problem-solving, creativity, and integrity to their own investing journey.
