The 4 Step Flip!: Quit your job and never look back. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781729561836)

Maria was born and raised in the Western NY area. Her son, Dominic, is the light of her life. Her grandparents immigrated here from Germany, Ireland and Mexico and therefore, Maria represents a true piece of America, a melting pot. Maria studied at the State University of New York at Buffalo and obtained a BS in Business with concentrations in Human Resource Management & Marketing as well as a BA in Psychology. She furthered her education by obtaining her MBA in Human Resource Management, an Accelerated Banking Certificate from the American Institute of Banking as well as an ICA Certificate in Anti-Money Laundering & Sanctions Compliance from the International Compliance Association. Maria had spent nearly 25 years working in Commercial Banking at a fortune 500 company before entering the next phase of her life. Maria's interest in real estate started more than 2 decades ago when she accepted a position in Commercial Real Estate Loan Administration and it was here that she started to learn about purchasing properties at delinquent tax sales. Her first flip property was closed in 2007 and she formalized the endeavor with the creation of Stone Point Investment Group which quickly grew and expanded into of Stone Point Development Group, LLC which also provides consumer education.
