From Section 8 to CEO
Now Helping Others
Build Their Legacy
Anthony A. Luna grew up in San Pedro, California, raised by a single mother in Section 8 housing. The Boys & Girls Club gave him hope. Real estate gave him a future. Today, as the CEO of Coastline Equity, he leads a Southern California property management firm grounded in ethics, empathy, and long-term thinking.
Anthony didn’t write this book to talk about his success. He wrote it to give you a real-life playbook for building systems and wealth through service to others.
This is property management with purpose. Investing with integrity. And leadership that starts with listening.
