Summary
Alex Sanfilippo started his first business at the age of 10. He began selling used golf balls in his neighborhood. In his late teens, he launched a technology company that created virtual tours of properties for sale on the MLS, and began investing in real estate himself as soon as he turned 18. Then the 2007/2008 recession hit. That’s when his Dad helped him get a job at an aerospace company…breaking down boxes and taking out the trash. But he didn’t let that get him down. Instead, he found passion in that, too, and rose to a senior executive position. All of those experiences (and even failures) led him to his path of entrepreneurship and success today.
