Chase D. Fonteno
Venture Capitalist in Los Angeles, California
Chase D Fonteno, a Real Estate Investing Expert, Internet Investor, consummate Speaker & Lecturer on Real Estate and Internet Wealth has been investing in Real Estate, Oil & Gas, Stock Market and Business Development since he was 17.
Currently, Pres & CEO of WebIdeas Partners, eMindStorm and Minsk Finance, he works tirelessly in sharing his knowledge of how do win-win investing in Real Estate & Internet. In addition - constant involvement with charities, raising funds, auctioned as a 'most eligible bachelor', donating time - including to several battered women's shelters, museums, Cancer Society, Heart Association, Dallas Children's Hospital, Multiple Sclerosis and more.
Experiencing all cycles of Real Estate investing, he learned the hard way, going broke and gaining it back again - several times in the early years. Win & Loss cycles - giving him experience to help others to not do it the 'hard way'.
Buying his first Real Estate investment at 17, a run down house in S. Houston from an ad "Paint for the Down Payment", fixing it up, renting it out in a week and then selling it for over three times what he paid for it - he never looked back.
Unlike 'get rich quick' late night ads - he focuses on seriously distressed multi-family and single-family properties, predominately in low income areas, buying distressed homes and resell to 'homeowners' on owner financed loans with little down (fix it yourself) to convert the cycle of a 'lifetime' of slum rent that depresses many in low income areas, to 'Pride of Ownership', giving those individuals an opportunity to 'own' instead of rent - eventually paying off and never paying again.
Chase - a speaker & lecturer at many venues, including: Real Estate Seminars, Donald Trump Real Estate Wealth Expo, Corporate Structure, Internet Investment Strategy, Distressed Real Estate Investing, Venture Capital, Private Capital, Raising Capital, Going Public and more.
Chase was a successfull investment broker at Merrill Lynch, Rauscher Pierce & Refnes before building Paulson Advisors and later selling the firm to return to real estate.
