Meet Ronald Willis

I am a real estate investor, developer, and operator based in Warrick County, Indiana, with experience across residential, commercial, and self-storage sectors. I earned my real estate license at 23, became principal broker of a five-agent firm by 25, and later stepped away from brokerage management to pursue broader opportunities. Since reentering the market in 2011, I have focused on residential acquisitions through auctions and foreclosures, expanded into self-storage development by 2013, and returned to residential investing during the pandemic—targeting single-family homes and duplexes in stable, workforce neighborhoods.

Through W Diversified, LLC, which I founded in 2014, I specialize in the acquisition, renovation, and long-term operation of practical residential properties. My work emphasizes disciplined buying, durable income, and lasting value, and includes experience in commercial redevelopment, construction oversight, and property-level operations.

I hold certifications including Master Craftsman, Certified Stain Applicator, Qualified Self-Storage Manager, and Fence Installer, along with formal training in self-storage valuation and acquisition. Academically, I earned a Master of Divinity from United Theological Seminary, a Bachelor of Science in Social Studies Education from Ball State University, a certificate in Community Development from Purdue University, and completed graduate coursework in Labor Studies at Indiana State University. I remain committed to disciplined investing, responsible development, and expanding access to housing throughout Warrick County and the surrounding region.
