NICK PREFONTAINE is part of the Smart Real Estate Coach family, located in Newport, Rhode Island. He recently co-authored the best-selling book, The New Rules of Real Estate Investing

ZACHARY BEACH is part of the Smart Real Estate Coach family, located in Newport, Rhode Island. He co-authored their most recent best-selling book, The New Rules of Real Estate Investing, working alongside his brother-in-law Nick, father-in-law Chris, and a great support team. He is a successful real estate investor, completing over 100 deals in under 3 years, and he continues to buy & sell property without using his own cash, credit, or investors’ money.

Zach grew up in central Massachusetts, but relocated to Newport when he graduated from college. After graduation, Zach had no idea what he wanted to do, deciding to bartend and be a personal trainer until he had a solid plan. He soon realized that he was burning the candle at both ends, working late nights and early mornings. He knew there was a better way.

At age 25, Zach decided to jump into the family real estate business. It was one of the first big risks he took in his life, as nothing was guaranteed. Plus, he knew absolutely nothing about real estate. Through hard work, in-house training, and implementation, Zach has now completed over 100 deals and growing. On top of that, he coaches students around the country on how to buy and sell property just like his family still does. Now, as a group, they buy and sell 5-10 properties a month with a predictable and scalable system, controlling between $20-$25 million of real estate at any one time with little to no money in the deal and no banks involved.
