He continued his education in 2016 when he joined Fortune Builders – the #1 Real Estate Education company. John Paul's journey through real estate has been guided by the personal and professional skills the military has instilled in him. He has excelled in the real estate industry by implementing the education and executing the action items and coaching to the highest level. During his first year of real estate John Paul founded Anchored Homes which he used to complete four flips and four wholesales. He has gone on to grow a team of 8 team members that work remotely across the world and has completed 100+ real estate transactions while adding 40+ rental units to his long term holdings portfolio. After only two years of being a student of Fortune Builders, John Paul was recognized as a top-performing student and community influencer and was invited to become a Real Estate and Marketing coach. As a coach John Paul was top-rated by students, peers and staff for his incredible energy, creativity and genuine interactions. Having coached more than 3,000 students first hand John Paul has had the distinct privilege of evaluating businesses and markets across the country which has expanded his knowledge and resources. In 2016, John Paul attended his first real estate networking event where he was greeted with judgement, cold shoulders and closed minded individuals. His passion for collaboration and abundance mindset inspired him to found the South Jersey Real Estate Investor Network in Atlantic County.

In 2020, John Paul co-founded Social Soaring, a Social Media Management company for Real Estate entrepreneurs, with his Marketing Team Lead from Anchored Homes.

He set out to create an affordable customer service oriented company that would help these busy entrepreneurs execute on their online presence. In 2020, John Paul co-founded Best Skip Tracer, a company that provides contact information for lead lists typically provided by Real Estate professionals. As a real estate entrepreneur John Paul has bounced around as a customer between several skip tracing companies that have all charged premium rates for low quality, recycled information. Setting out to find a better solution for Anchored Homes he collaborated with his business partner to develop a solution and then replicate it for other entrepreneurs so they didn't have to experience the same pain. In 2020 John Paul co-founded Love My Stay, a Short Term Rental Business in Florida, that he operates with his wife (Carrie) and their lifelong friends. John Paul is using the rental arbitrage strategy that allowed him to quickly build his portfolio with little money out of pocket. The company specializes in helping landlords have a better experience with a premium tenant, like Love My Stay, that will bring the property to its full potential and then offer it up as a short-term rental to traveling professionals and families. John Paul currently lives in Virginia and operates all of his businesses remotely.

Jake Harris, Jen's favorite GC, has created a ridiculously smart app that streamlines the renovation process while connecting the lender, the investor, and the contractor to keep communication open while providing tools to make all your future projects run smoothly. This is the app you never knew you needed! More on Jake... Jake Harris has been a GC for over 13 years. After graduating from James Madison University he was recruited by Marriott for a career in Hospitality. A few years into his training he realized his passion leaned toward the Project side of work, and not the Process side. He enjoyed things that had a Start, a Middle, and an End. This led him to secure his GC license in Florida, form his first GC company, and start performing renovations on the hotels he knew and understood. It wasn't long before he was working outside of Florida and reunited with Marriott to become one of their preferred Contractors for Renovation work. For 10 years his company completed over 100 hotels in 33 different states. However as his 3 kids were growing, he wanted to stay closer to home and decided to pursue residential remodeling in Raleigh/Durham. His love of process and procedure was quickly appreciated by the Investor community and he became a favorite among Flippers in the Durham market. Always searching for a cheaper/faster/better way to accomplish the jobs, he teamed up with Juan Huerta and the two started imagining a better way to do projects. The result of their brainstorm is The Flip Factory App and can be found at www.flipfactoryapp.com Jake has been a General Contractor since 2008, licensed in multiple states, and will be hanging all of that up to pursue his passion of helping people with their new Flip Factory App. Jake has 3 wonderful kids and he and his wife love living in Cary, NC.

Self-Storage Superstar! Listen in as Stacy shares some MAJOR ninja tips including FIVE ways to get started in self-storage investing. Minimal rehab, very little upkeep leading to high returns! You don't want to miss this episode! Here are Stacy's words... As a real estate investing expert and coach, I have built my name on the results I have created – for myself and for my students. Investing in real estate has changed my life, opening doors for me and my family and affording me an outlet for all my creative and entrepreneurial energy. Through scaling up a renovation company in Atlanta with hundreds of transactions to learning to invest passively through creative financing deals and storage facilities, I have not only overcome many trials and tribulations, but systematized and organized my days so that I can run several successful businesses. Day after day, I work hard at what I do, striving to stay ahead of the curve by building on my knowledge and making shrewd decisions. This did not happen overnight, of course. My early days in real estate were slow, exhausting and hard, but little by little, I earned a sense of what worked and what I needed to do to achieve consistent results. Because I taught myself all this learning through experience and mentors, the process was gradual and required the utmost diligence on my part. Today, I own and operate South Atlanta REIA. A real estate investors' association, South Atlanta REIA is exactly the tool that I would have wanted when I was getting my start, something that aspiring and established investors can turn to, a means to cutting your learning curve dramatically. In addition to investing in real estate myself, I have since discovered another passion in my life – coaching and empowering others. Whenever I see that I have guided someone toward a breakthrough or helped them to transform themselves professionally, I feel deep fulfillment, confident that I am on the right path and reinvigorated to go out and do even more. As a coach and teacher, I specialize in helping my students navigate real estate investing, rehabbing, and storage facilities. These are all complex, involved topics, but I have honed my ability to communicate the intricacies – and found ways to demystify them efficiently. Seeing the light go off in my students' eyes, I know that the magic is happening, and in everyone I teach, I recognize myself – wide-eyed, hopeful, firmly believing in all the opportunities that real estate investing can present. For years, I have connected with my students through workshops, offering a glimpse into the thought processes and techniques that have led to my success. In order to share my knowledge with as large an audience as possible, I am currently expanding beyond person-to-person coaching, developing two online courses: Systematizing Your Rehabs to Scale Up and Self-Storage Investing 101. Both of these courses draw on my years of experience in real estate investing and break down my ideas and strategies in a way that even beginners can digest. In addition, I am planning to launch three mastermind groups in 2020, each of which will be a part of the Super Secret Investors Society. These are: Real Estate Investing for Beginners, Systematizing Your Rehabs to Scale Up, and Storage Investing for Passive Income. Renovating my first home in 2012, I knew that I had stumbled upon something big – a calling, a vocation, a passion. There was no doubt in my mind that I was going to stick with real estate and give it everything that I had. Collaborating with my husband has been a bonus, and I am grateful every day for the career that he and I have created together. Visit www.stacyrossetti.com to learn more.

Cat is a sweet Southern gal that is kicking ass at Real Estate. Listen in as she talks about how a wholesale deal that never sold was converted into a money-making machine! She lives in Mt. Airy, aka Mayberry, where she loves her community and is working hard at providing affordable rentals to those in need. Here is what Cat has to say... So, a little bit about me. I am from Winston-Salem, NC, the home of Krispy Kreme, and Texas Pete. I went to College in Charlotte where I graduated with Honors. (Fancy, right?!?) After college, I came back home to Winston and spent most of the next 12 years as an awesome worker bee for "The Man". I mean, y'all! I was killing it in the banking industry, my first year was sweeping the sales awards at the annual employee dinner, and reestablishing the goals for our Credit Union. I continued this trend and made A LOT of money for my employer while killing myself. Well, after a decade, I had a not so graceful exit. I decided after my pity party was over, I would never again work for a company and just be a number. So, with a mountain of support from my wonderful husband Jeff, I put my big girl pants on and started a business in a field I knew little about but had a BIG passion for. I have educated myself, and continue to do so in the art of Real Estate Investing. I am now, 2 years later, living the dream as a Real Estate Investor and based in the Triad region of NC. My company is Gardenia Gray Properties, we specialize in unique Real Estate situations and challenges owners are facing. Gardenia Gray is about problem solving and fair outcomes for everyone involved. We are Grounded in People over profit.
