WHO IS KATHLEEN HAYES?
Kathleen Hayes is the founder of Dream America — a real estate education and coaching program dedicated to helping college athletes use their NIL income to purchase multi-unit properties. She understands the unique financial position student-athletes are in, and the narrow window of opportunity they have to act.
