Fortitude Investment Group, a New York-based recognized provider of real estate investment services for 1031 exchange investors, is pleased to announce that industry veteran Jeffrey Proeh has joined the firm.

Jeffrey has over 30 years of experience across multiple areas of financial services. After earning his Juris Doctorate from the John Marshall Law School in 1990 and practicing corporate law for a few years, he devoted the next two decades of his career serving as a trusted advisor, broker and trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade.

Since 2014, his work as a financial advisor has focused on helping families accumulate assets and use those assets properly for retirement. Jeffrey specializes in helping clients grow and sustain family wealth by providing suitable advice on their real estate investment transactions.

“One of the key reasons I was drawn to Fortitude, was its stellar industry reputation in helping clients effectively use the 1031 exchange and Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) to accumulate wealth potential and take advantage of the tax-deferral benefits afforded by the Internal Revenue Code,”, said Jeffrey. “My passion for working with clients in a similar capacity was perfectly aligned with how Fortitude views its role in guiding investors in this same space."

“We are extremely pleased to have Jeff join our organization,” said Daniel Raupp, Founder of Fortitude Investment Group. “Not only has he earned the trust of countless clients and professional colleagues over the years throughout the Midwest, but his legal knowledge enhances our firm’s ability to respond to even the most challenging and complex real estate transactions that clients might encounter.”

Fortitude Investment Group intends to leverage its digital presence and outreach to introduce Jeffrey to a broader audience of investors who could benefit from his expertise. Jeffrey effectively became a member of the firm on January 2, 2021.
