Our guest for this week’s show is Real Estate redevelopment expert, Jay Several. Jay has a very interesting story because his real estate investment career started off as more of a hobby which he dabbled in in his spare time while running his software consulting company.
The exciting part about Jay’s journey is that not only did he start investing full-time just a short 10 years ago, but he started just before the biggest real estate crash in history was about to happen. And if that wasn’t already challenging enough, the projects that he was acquiring weren’t simple deals like stabilized apartment buildings or fully leased NNN shopping center deals. No, he started off by redeveloping vacant buildings and repurposing them for entirely different uses. This, my friends, is not a business for the faint of heart or for the beginner investor. Listen in to hear how Jay makes the magic happen.
