“What comes after success?” Highly accomplished powerhouses are often confronted with this question at some point in their careers. For many, aiming for greater heights is the obvious conclusion, while others would rather choose to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their hard work. Andrew Sallee, a real estate investor with over $128 million in assets in his portfolio, has snagged numerous accomplishments under his belt over the years. Yet, despite the career milestones he has ticked off the box, he shows no sign of slowing down and is currently capitalizing on his reach and influence to make a difference, giving back to his local community by launching Andy’s Kids. 

A serial entrepreneur originally hailing from Rock Island, Illinois, Andrew managed to defy the odds and secure a coveted spot at the top of the real estate industry in spite of his humble beginnings. With nothing but a clear-cut vision of a financially secure future, resilience, passion, and perseverance on his back, he succeeded in starting and scaling multimillion-dollar ventures, including a roofing and siding company. From there, he eventually carved a path toward the world of real estate.

“I’ve had to come from a background where nothing was given – it was all earned,” the go-getter shared. “I don’t have a degree from a fancy school, didn’t grow up with a ton of money, and don’t take just any partner on for deals. Everything I’ve earned has been built from what I’ve been able to earn, beginning with my sales career, then my company, and most recently, all through my investments.”

In the two decades since he first tried his hand at investing, Andrew has been able to rack up over $128 million worth of assets, an achievement made possible through his hard work and thanks to the extensive network of mentors, coaches, and masterminds he has established relationships with over time.

Considering the awe-inspiring level of success he has found, it could be easy to jump to the conclusion that Andrew could now be sipping champagne while vacationing on tropical islands. This couldn’t be any farther from the truth, as he is not leaving the entrepreneurial realm anytime soon. On top of growing his portfolio, the purpose-driven figure is going all-out in providing food and other items to the homeless.
 

Starting Andy’s Kids is in line with Andrew’s overarching mission to impact his local community. By partnering with other nonprofits, this brainchild of his is catering to the needs of an underserved population. 

Apart from feeding the homeless and assisting at-risk individuals in his community through Andy’s Kids, Andrew is also involved in other philanthropic efforts. Additionally, the investor is supporting various organizations, such as Big Brother, Big Sister in Davenport, the Davenport YMCA, and Habitat for Humanity. 

Needless to say, Andrew has big plans for the future, including hitting $1 billion in total assets in the years to come. Moreover, he hopes to help, support, and empower more people through his charitable organization and is set to remain an avid supporter of cause-oriented endeavors.
