Registered Representative

William Blair and Company

I researched and recommended industrial stocks for individual and institutional investors. I wrote and contributed to 1,000+ research reports with actionable ideas in the building products, specialty distribution, and engineering & construction sectors. 

My years of experience analyzing the economic health of consumers, financial market trends, operational strategies and the competency of management teams have proven invaluable to evaluating a wide range of passive income investment opportunities.

I supported two senior analysts covering 29 industrial companies. Simultaneously supporting two franchises, I developed the abilities to quickly synthesize information, ask critical questions, and substantiate research with both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Assistant Vice President - Research Analyst

Morgan Stanley

I served in a cross-functional role between equity and fixed income portfolio managers and our clients, managing all aspects of client suitability, new account integration, marketing, and operations. During my three years with Cresfort, we added over $100 million in new assets under management.

Portfolio Management Associate - The Cresfort Investment Group

Few asset classes offer as many advantages to investors as real estate. But actively owning and operating investment properties isn’t for everyone.

That’s where passive income investments come in.

Passive income investing through real estate syndications provide investors with opportunities to increase cash flow, earn equity appreciation, realize tax advantages, and leverage others’ expertise and capital.

The problem is many investors don’t know about these opportunities, and even if they do, they are unsure on how to research and evaluate the risks and rewards associated with them.

This is where I come in.

As a registered representative with Cityside Capital, my mission is to educate investors and financial advisors on passive real estate investing and help them gain access to exclusive offerings.

With over 20 years of professional experience and as an investor across multiple asset classes (including multifamily, self-storage, and industrial), I can help take the fear out of investing and be your guide throughout your investing journey.

Are you ready to take the next step to becoming an extraordinary investor who maximizes your investment dollars?

Raheel Khawaja

I have connected with several new folks recently, so I thought it would be a good time to reintroduce myself. 

Hello. My name is Raheel. It's nice to meet you!

I spent 15 years in corporate roles across Australia and the United States, including tenures at PwC and Microsoft. While I valued that chapter, I had longed to build something of my own. I began planning that transition in 2019, balanced corporate life with entrepreneurship for several years, and made the move to full-time entrepreneurship in 2023.

In 2022, I co-founded Pebble Ridge Capital Group (PRCG), a commercial real estate syndication firm, with Faraz Hemani. Our work centers on self-storage facilities and industrial warehouses, and we take a cautious, disciplined, long-term approach to capital preservation, risk diversification, and steady value creation alongside a close group of investors.

In 2024, I co-founded Insure Me Group (IMG) with Azim Panjwani to address a challenge nearly every business faces: insurance. We take a portfolio-level view of risk, helping clients align coverage across their businesses while remaining thoughtful on pricing and terms. 

None of this is done alone. I am fortunate to be supported by a strong and diverse community—family and friends, business partners, team members, investors, clients, and the many professionals we work alongside. I am deeply grateful for their trust and support.

I continue to learn every day, and I use this platform to share lessons from both my corporate and entrepreneurial journeys, in the hope that they are helpful to others.

Great to connect, and I look forward to getting to know many of you better.

I lost my #Microsoft paycheck in 2023, but not my peace of mind.

Why?

Because I was already building something alongside my full-time role.

So when the layoff came, there was no panic. There was clarity and options.

I chose not to return to a W-2 and went all in on what I had built.

To everyone who has been laid off and is still searching for their next opportunity: I genuinely wish you strength and success in whatever comes next. 

And if you are still employed today, consider this a quiet wake-up call:
- No one is immune, and no job is guaranteed.
- Companies are not families, despite how often that is said.
- Start building something on the side. This is not optional.
- Build your skills and your name. Don't chase titles on #LinkedIn. 

You do not need to quit today. But you must start.

Build before you are forced to. Your future self will thank you.

Azim and I co-founded Insure Me Group (IMG) to help businesses approach insurance with clarity and discipline.

Insurance is often viewed negatively due to misunderstanding and poor advice. 

We believe it does not have to be that way.

When coverage is not aligned with risks, it feels like a cost rather than a tool.

Done right, insurance protects downside and enables growth. That is our goal.

We strive to help business owners understand risk, structure coverage thoughtfully, and use insurance to support stability and sustainability.

Our principles are straightforward:
- We put the customer’s interests first. Always. No exceptions.
- We ask questions to understand risk before placing coverage.
- We take a portfolio-level view, not a single-policy approach.
- We communicate transparently and act with integrity.

Insurance is ultimately about trust and long-term relationships. That is the standard we work to uphold.
