About the host
Hosted by Richard Wilson
Hello - My wife Adriana Wilson and I have 3 daughters and live in Scottsdale, Arizona. We love adventure travel, camping, hiking, backpacking, trail running, and seeing new cultures. We have visited 35 countries to date, and there is nothing we like more than a fun trip or new experience.
We started our business in 2007, we have hosted 185 live investors events during that time, and we focus only in helping private investors, doctors and dentists invest into medical practices and Airbnb properties now. Doctors tend to be very nice human beings to work with, and it turns out it is more fun to visit an Airbnb property investment than a car wash, parking garage or self-storage facility that you can put your money into - so that's where we focus our time and energy now in our investor club, called the Family Office Club.
Now after 16 years we have no investors and no debt and we support with our business a 28-person team. We hope that you will explore our listings, and create lifelong memories and have fun adventures at our properties.
Please let us know how we can make your stay great, and thank you in advance for supporting our family business at InvestorResidences dot com.
