In this edition of Entrepreneurial Appetite's Black Book Discussion we feature a conversation with scholar-scientist turned entrepreneur, Richelle Delia- co-founder of Housing Joint Venture.
The Housing Joint Venture model provides a viable option for addressing housing affordability and a pragmatic example of how the theory of mission-driven initiatives can be put into profitable practice.

Life Liberty n' Property is the combined lessons from John & Richelle (from John's perspective) that reveals a proven framework that anyone can use to amass the real estate portfolio of their dreams.
