There are a few people whose life experiences are truly inspiring. No matter what life throws at them, they somehow find opportunity within adversity. Such is the case of Jamell E. Edwards, a real estate entrepreneur from New Haven, CT, who survived spinal meningitis and became a successful business owner.
Born on February 1st, 1982, Jamell was diagnosed with the terrible disease when he was one year old. Unfortunately, it took both his legs and left him as a below-the-knee amputee. Despite this major setback as an infant, Jamell has not let his disability get in the way of his ambitions and has become a role model for others who face similar challenges.
As a child, Jamell’s talent and intelligence outshined his physical disability, and his father played a huge role in this. He gave him the confidence to dream big and aim for the stars, focus on targets, and forget about physical challenges. Being a real estate businessman, he taught him early on in life the importance of building wealth. He also trained him to create a successful real estate investment company. After completing his studies and working in corporate America, he realized his true passion was in the real estate industry.
Jamell created a company called JE Properties Group, LLC. He worked hard for its growth to make it a company specializing in wholesaling, buying, holding, and brokering capital money for real estate and businesses. His goal is to reach higher net-worth clients so their businesses can grow to new heights. The real estate enthusiast wants to create a company worth $100M. In addition to his business ventures, Jamell is also interested in writing a book in the near future.
On the personal front, Jamell’s ambition is to inspire people from all walks of life and educate them on creating financial wealth for generations. He is passionate about building wealth for himself and his family while educating and empowering others on how to do the same.
Jamell’s journey from spinal meningitis to real estate success tells a lot about his strength and determination. He is a role model for people with disabilities and those who face life, business, and health challenges. Jamell’s story shows that there is always an opportunity within adversity; all you have to do is recognize it, claim it, and cherish it.
