about us
Loving the game of basketball and growing up in the projects kept President and Founder of Black Treasurers Investments (BTI), Jeffrey Jerome Amos motivated to be more and do more.
Not realizing meeting his soul mate and Co-Founder of BTI, Yolanda Amos will be the missing piece to where they are today.
Yolanda is a retired Property Manager of a 372 unit complex near downtown Tampa, Florida that brought life skills to her residents that opened doors to homeownership, financial literacy, credit repair, and what it takes to survive to become a better person.
Jeffrey and Yolanda merged their ideas to embrace children and the community to give scholarships, life skills and real estate.
