Here's what others have to say about investing with Up Plex.
"Working with Maricela Soberanes and Chris Linger has truly changed my life. Their ethics, transparency, and leadership create an environment where you genuinely grow and feel like part of a real team. Before this, my world was mainly my 9–5, but within 9 months of committed education, hard work, and applying the skills they teach, I was able to be part of closing my first real estate deal, multiply my money, create impact in communities, and learn how to keep more of what I make. Recently, while capital raising, a potential investor was so impressed by my knowledge and professionalism that I was offered an opportunity to join the board of a national organization. I truly would not be where I am today without their mentorship and the way they push their students to grow."
"We met Chris and Maricela at a Real Estate event and immediately knew they were quality people. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable in the multifamily space, but they are also genuine, transparent, and generous with their time. Through their mentorship, consistent education, and commitment to helping others grow, we are now in the process of signing our very first GP deal. Their guidance, integrity, and passion for teaching have been incredibly motivating and impactful in our journey."
"I've been investing in real estate since 2016 and I want to take a moment to thank my business coach and mentor Chris for his guidance and support. Thanks to him I've been able to successfully navigate the challenges of transitioning from small real estate deals to syndications. Chris has a wealth of knowledge and experience in real estate syndications. He's always been very generous in answering my questions and offering advise. He's been very valuable and has experience to lean on. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to take their business to the next level."
