Client Testimonial
“I am a retired police officer from New York. I was looking to retire to a warm belt such as Texas and was looking for a passive NNN investment for my 1031 exchange. I found Joel Owens with NNN Invest and knew right away I made the right choice. Throughout the whole process Joel helped to locate the right property to buy in a certain time frame. He answered my questions and was very informative. I am now looking for a second passive property with NNN Invest.“

Everything I do centers around my family.
My passion to help others with their investments stems from my desire to be the best family man possible. I grew up in a working-class family where it was often times a struggle to make ends meet. Even though we didn’t have much, at an early age, my mom and dad taught me about integrity, courage, love and everything in between. They taught me to never settle for anything less than my dreams. When my father passed away when I was a teenager, that even set off something inside me which has driven me my entire adult life. We are all capable of achieving our dreams, it just takes hard work, dedication, constant learning, and a little luck.
Everything I do on a day-to-day basis is to help others achieve the life they want to live. In doing so, I get to live the life I’ve dreamed of since I was a teenager. My wife and son are the center of my universe and I look forward to every moment I get to spend with them.
Outside of my family, I am an avid runner. I try to exercise every day not only for my health but it makes me better at helping my clients. I am also a 3rd-degree black belt in Taekwondo. In my “down” time, you will most likely find me reading a book or listening to a podcast…mostly about commercial real estate.
