Founder and Principle
Travis founded HOTREI to combine his knowledge and passion for real estate investing with the desire to help others achieve financial independence. He has been investing in real estate since 2009 in multifamily, single-family and vacation rentals with a current portfolio totaling 361 units. A pharmacist by training, Travis is passionate about helping others and dedicates his time to educating medical professionals and high net worth individuals who are looking to be more “hands-off” in real estate and diversify their portfolios.
Real Estate Experience:
- Paid off more than $120K of student loans through real estate

- Licensed Real Estate Agent (Realtor) since 2014 with over $10 million in transactions

Travis holds a Doctorate of Pharmacy from Midwestern University College of Pharmacy and a Master of Business Administration from the Colangelo College of Business at Grand Canyon University. Travis’ professional background includes 12 years working as an oncology pharmacist and supervisor at Mayo Clinic in Arizona managing a medication budget of over $100 million annually prior to transitioning to the pharmaceutical industry; these roles have helped Travis bring real world management and leadership experience in addition to negotiation skills to his real estate investment career.
Travis began investing in real estate in 2009 with a goal of building enough passive income to be financially free while creating generational wealth. His focus and vision then grew to help others realize the power of real estate investing and financial freedom for themselves after seeing mentors in healthcare burnout and pass away before ever being able to enjoy retirement.
Travis currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife and three children, and in his spare time enjoys golf, attending concerts and spending time at their family cabin.
