Alex was many things: A businessman, a brother, a son, a significant other, a go getter, someone who got things done, a friend, an advisor, a dreamer, and a leader. Above all, Alex had a towering, yet mesmerizing, personality, exuding an almost divine sense of self-confidence. If Alex thought something was right, you, too, felt compelled to believe him.
Early on, Alex’s strong personality manifested itself in a common thread: entrepreneurship. He sold candies and CDs during middle school. He started a car detailing business during high school. He owned candy vending machines during college.
Alex could not stay away from business. After he graduated from Loyola University in New Orleans, he attended Loyola’s Law School before dropping out after a year and a half – he would want everyone to know this – to pursue his next business venture – real estate investing.
Real estate was his vocation. With unwavering determination and stubborn grit, he and his business partner built T&T Real Estate Development from scratch.
Alex’s success derived from his determination and his audacity. As Alex liked to say, “If I don’t do everything I can to make my dreams become a reality, someone else will.” He was probably the most intense person you’ve ever met, but this intensity was the product of passion. His passion was unrivaled. And real estate investing became his passion. Honestly, he’s probably protesting from above that we are spending money on his viewing service instead of investing that money in index funds or real estate.
Alex always said that hard work beats talent every time, but hard work without risk means nothing. It was either A or B, massive success or massive failure. Indeed, this mindset catapulted T&T from a dream into a reality.
Alex leaves behind his best friend and love of his life, MyLinh (ML), and her daughter Juli; his parents, Huee and Maria; his grandparents, Carmen, Alonso, and Alcira; his brother, Anthony; his aunts, Zinnia and Colleen; his uncles, Frank and Alonso; his cousins, Cito, Alexandria, Mackenzie, Kennedy, and Hannah; his business partner, Lance; and many other loved ones too numerous to name.
