Colt began his real estate journey in 2017 like many aspiring investors—reading every book he could get his hands on and seeking wisdom from anyone in the business. That curiosity and drive led him to learn from a wide range of mentors and experiences. His first purchase was his own home, followed just a month later by a small shotgun house he acquired from a mentor—one he still owns to this day.

From there, Colt steadily scaled his portfolio, moving into larger properties and eventually entering the multifamily space. Along the way, he learned a critical lesson: even the best investment can falter without strong property management. That realization led him to start his own property management company—not just to protect his own investments, but to support friends facing the same challenges.

Once in the trenches of property management, Colt discovered his second major lesson: the job demands relentless problem-solving and daily decision-making. As a fiduciary managing other people’s assets, the weight of that responsibility became clear.

Out of that pressure, FONDiFi was born.

While many property management challenges require boots-on-the-ground attention, Colt saw that a large portion of the work was digital—bookkeeping, systems, and back-office tasks that simply needed dedicated time. That time was becoming increasingly hard to find—until he met Tanvi. With her deep expertise in real estate accounting and operations, Tanvi helped expand Colt’s capacity and streamline the backend of the business. Thanks to Tanvi, Colt could step out of the backend chaos and refocus on driving the mission forward and showing up where it mattered most. Now, Colt and Tanvi have joined forces to bring a well-tailored, high-performance solution to the industry—helping other owners in the real estate space get back to doing what they do best.
