About the Author

Scott Benjamin is a serial entrepreneur with a recurring passion for real estate. In 1991, he received his real estate salespersons license in Florida, but only earned $230 in commissions. Following a stint in the restaurant business working for Domino’s Pizza and Rudy’s Hamburgers, Scott went back to school to get a graduate degree. With the help of some young partners, Scott created Signature Properties out of Baltimore, Maryland. Over a ten year period, Scott learned the real estate business from the ground up. Scott bought and sold over 100 houses, purchase numerous land development deals, and invested and owns various commercial real estate holdings.

Seeing the eminent crash of 2008 approaching, Scott pivoted careers and earned a PhD in Strategy at the age of 42 from the University of Maryland. Dr. Benjamin is currently a full time faculty in the Nathan M. Bisk College of Business at Florida Tech and the Director for the Center of Entrepreneurship and New Business Development.

In 2014, Scott began investing in real estate once again with an eye on capitalizing on the rising real estate market. In the past year, he has actively worked with college students who have flipped 7 houses, purchased a land development deal and are pursuing a motel conversion project.
He enjoys sharing his passion and knowledge for real estate with others through teaching and public speaking.
