Background
McElroy grew up in a lower-middle-class household. His mother worked as a hairdresser, and his father was a contractor. Neither of his parents received a diploma from high school.
Fortunately for Ken, his parents were hardworking and got him a proper education. He also got to enroll in college because of athletics. He got a job running an apartment complex while in college.
He was not very focused on his studies. Nevertheless, while working his first job in the apartment complex, the young man found his passion for property investing.
Real Estate Career
As an inexperienced individual, Ken bought some real estate. He was fascinated despite the fact that he only had a modest property that barely made a profit.
Later on, he turned his investment into a rather significant business. He worked on everything from purchases and property development to investment appraisal and property maintenance.
In the year 2000, he decided to start MC Companies. They gather money from investors and use it to buy commercial buildings with the goal of making every party rich. Ken now has around a billion dollars in holdings and approximately 250 workers.
