Interview with Denver Real Estate Investor Kelenna Azubuike
Terrance Doyle and I sat down with former NBA player and Denver investor Kelenna Azubuike to discuss how he got started investing in real estate and his current strategy. Kelenna started with single family fix and flips in Denver in 2009. He worked as a team with his mother and brother finding bank owned or foreclosure properties, renovating them and either selling or holding them.
