40 Acres Investments First Investment Property

My business and life partners Tim Williams and I established 40 Acres Investments because of our commitment to building generational wealth and to ensuring a positive trajectory for our family + community. 

Tim and I committed to growing and passing wealth down to our children and their children’s children. 

We are committed to changing our black family’s future. We are committed to impacting our black family’s and our community’s financial trajectory and are actively working towards creating generational wealth, one strategic investment at a time.

With that in mind, we closed on our first investment property today and start renovations this weekend.

The origin of the name “40 Acres” comes from the 1865 field order, which was enacted to redistribute roughly 400,000 acres of land to newly freed black families in forty-acre segments.

The order’s immediate effect provided for the settlement of roughly 40,000 freed people, but the order was short-lived and overturned when the civil war ended. Most of the designated land was returned to the original owners, leaving newly freed people without the promised land or even a home.

We are actively working to fulfill a small portion of the original intention of the order to impact our Black family’s and our community’s financial trajectory by creating generational wealth, one strategic investment at a time.
