Our Story – From Yoga to Buying Houses
So how did it all start?
Gabe here, co-founder of FL Cash Home Buyers, LLC. I first met my business partner, Omer, back in 2012 at Yogi
Hari’s Ashram in Miramar. My wife and I were searching for Yoga classes online and found an Ashram in Miramar
that offered them. An Ashram is a spiritual center where people can practice Yoga & Meditation and even live
there to pursue their spiritual aspirations.
Ashrams are very common in India, but you don’t come across them too often here in the U.S. We had wanted to
go to India and experience what it’d be like to live in one for a few weeks, so we were very happy to find one just
a few miles away from where we lived & decided to go to a class that same day!
When we arrived, no one was there except a man fixing a car outside (guess who that was?). Yup – That’s how
Omer looked like when we first met 🙂
We asked him if he knew what was happening with the Yoga class. He told us he was supposed to teach the
class, but it was canceled. He gave us his business card and told us if we wanted to come back for the next class
to call him and to confirm the class was still on.
When I looked at his card I saw these words in big bold letters “Real Estate Solutions”. What a coincidence I
thought! I never met anyone who was into Yoga & Real Estate! I let him know I was a Real Estate investor as well
and we instantly clicked. We continued to stay in touch and eventually started to collaborate on some joint
venture deals. Over time we developed a great working relationship and an even better friendship!
Why did we decide to partner up?
I really enjoyed working with Omer and always thought it would be much more fulfilling to build a home buying
company in FL with a friend vs. by myself. The cool thing was that both Freedom & Happiness were our primary
drivers. We were also aligned in the sense that we wanted to make sure we always donated a portion of our
profits to charity. We both felt that Real Estate would be a great path for us to create the lives we wanted and to
give back to the community.
Fast fwd, and in late 2014 we formed FL Cash Home Buyers, LLC. Since then we’ve purchased hundreds of
homes, but what we’re more proud of are the charities we’ve supported, the amazing team we’ve built, and the fun we have while buying and selling houses!
Thank you for your trust & taking the time to read our story! We hope to hear from you soon 🙂
