About Us
QMJ Properties
Typically, when we tell people the name of our company, they ask where we came up with QMJ. In all honesty, it comes down to our “Why”, the reason we decided to pursue real estate, which is to become financially free and Quit My Job.
QMJ Properties LLC was formed by Larry and Michele Kolster to provide investment opportunities in multifamily properties. We syndicate our purchases which allows you to invest passively in our deals without needing to be actively involved in any of the work required. Our headquarters are in Houston, Texas. Our current portfolio includes 13 apartment complexes with 1,565 units. We partner with an experienced team that provides a wealth of expertise in the industry.
Larry & Michele Kolster – Founders of QMJ Properties
A critical step in taking our life back was to define what financial freedom meant for us. Here are our goals for financial freedom (yours may be similar or completely different):
- Ability to provide positive experiences for our grandchildren
- Ability to live on passive income
- Time for volunteer activities
- Freedom to travel at any time and travel abroad
Our hobbies include tandem bicycle rides, trips to off-road parks in our Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, golf, and relaxing on a beach. We enjoy spending time with friends and family, especially our grandchildren!
