About Chris Collins

Chris Collins is not your typical apartment investor. Throughout his career in Hollywood, he has seen money come and go, slipping through the hands of even his highest paid friends. Wealth just doesn’t seem to stick in this fast moving industry. 

Always an entrepreneur at heart, Chris set out to be the Hollywood outlier, to write his own financial story.

At present, he has actively and passively invested in over 2,500 apartment units spanning across 6 states, with deals totaling more than $300 million, earning him the nickname ‘The Creative Investor.’
