Alumni - Ben and Heather Echevarria
Working for someone else never really interested Ben and Heather Echevarria; however, they found that it was a necessary evil after completing high school. Ben began working in the underground mines surrounding Elko, Nevada, while Heather began diligently working on her accounting degree through the University of Phoenix Online while working full-time at a local CPA firm.
After 9/11 Ben and Heather saw a tremendous drop in their retirement accounts and decided that it was time for a change. Ben was the first to realize that simply working longer hours would not get them from where they were to where they wanted to be financially in the future. They began looking for a way to spend more time doing what they love most—spending quality time with their two daughters, Lacey and Whitnee. Luckily, a friend cared enough to share the real estate investing vision that is Nouveau Riche and Ben and Heather decided to jump in with both feet. Thanks to the incredible education they obtained, they realized enormous success in real estate very quickly! They learned first-hand, as many others within Nouveau Riche have learned, that education does not cost money -- it makes money!
Ben and Heather have been instrumental in cultivating the Idaho market, sharing their passion for education and real estate investing with many others. They look forward to continuing to share the knowledge and opportunities with the growing Nouveau Riche Community.
