Ian Horowitz is a former professional firefighter turned real estate investor. He and his partner Dan have spent several years building a 70 million-dollar real estate portfolio.

I met Ian at a mastermind meetup this past month in Columbus, OH, and he stood out to me as someone who had a lot of good things to say. Things that got everyone in the room to think differently about their situations.

Since I learned a lot from him, I thought this would be a good opportunity to explore his story and see what the REtipster community can learn from him.
