After a health challenge disrupted his medical career, John didn’t know what to do next but was reminded of this advice from Wayne Dyer: “When we begin to change the way we look at things, the things we look at begin to change.”  

John knew that the most successful people in the world all have one thing in common: they make decisions swiftly and decisively. And most of them also invest in themselves with coaching and training.     

​

They started researching and made quick real estate investing decisions — small rehabs and flips at first, leveraging to buy more and then larger multi-unit buildings. Soon they understood various markets & their profit potential. This quick but informed ramp-up allowed them to find great deals in specific regions across the country, spreading their risk profile.  

​

While very active in multifamily commercial real estate acquisitions (general partners in 682 units and passive investors in 1650 units), they also make time for their other passion – consulting for an equity stake in profitable businesses.  

Mark and Tamiel Kenney are seasoned real estate investors, entrepreneurs and founders of Think Multifamily. Mark started his real estate career over 20 years ago and has extensive experience in property valuation, acquisition, and operations.

Mark and Tamiel have invested in over 90 apartment communities for a total of 14,000+ units and currently own 60 multifamily properties. Their total all-time purchase price exceeds one-billion dollars.

The Kenney's are in an elite group and have an impeccable reputation among the multifamily investment community. 

​

He has worked for corporations such as KPMG Consulting, EDS, SAP, and HP; he founded Simplifying-IT providing tech services to fortune 500 companies. 

Lanette in many ways has reinvented herself over the years as well. She began working at the age of 13 and eventually became a specialized radiology technologist in the fields of MRI and CT. She worked at the famed MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. 

​

She has three beautiful daughters (with John) and as all of you moms know this is more than a full-time vocation with plenty of stress, worries, and work! 

​

Lanette with her second daughter Amanda, embarked on a new career in real estate. Lanette achieved REP's (Real Estate Professional status) and Amanda got her real estate license. Together they bought and rehabbed nearly 30 properties in six different states and were wildly successful at their endeavors. 

​

Lanette’s acumen in real estate and business is equal to or better than many with post-graduate business degrees. Like everyone in this company she has practical real-world experiences to pass on to others.
