In 2019, Walter wrote a blog for RISMedia’s Housecall entitled “3 Ways to Help Investors Create Value Without Waiting on the Real Estate Market.” He recommended that real estate agents and advisors emphasize to investors the benefits of following a consistent, long-term strategy; focusing on properties that have been on the market for a long time and have been overlooked; and encouraging clients to pursue value-added strategies, such as updating, improving and repositioning properties.
Walter taught finance and economics at Dixie State University. Before pursuing a career in real estate, he worked on the Natural Gas and Power Trade Floor at ConocoPhillips, where he built risk management models and priced structured products. He worked at a tech startup before attending graduate school.
