John's Bio:

 

I am currently a real estate investor, cash home buyer, house flipper, family man, and believe it or not, a former plumber. As a plumbing contractor for 21 years, I always had a passion for real estate. In 2013 I decided to make buying and renovating houses his full-time job. Since then, I have been in the “house buying business” and has flipped over 70 houses to date.
I was born and raised in San Pedro, California (near the Port of Los Angeles). I currently take an active part in my community as it is important for me to be honest with people. As I always say we at my company believe in doing what we say were are going do, be fair, and leave people in better situations than when we found them!”

I got interested in real estate because I did have a plumbing business. I worked on a lot of properties over the years. So, I started to think about an investment property or two of my own. I had a budget and wanted to basically leverage that budget. In 2009, I emersed myself in started studying more and more about the industry, the business. As I was about to start looking around, I started to get a little fearful. That’s when I enrolled in a Bruce Norris boot camp to look at how to invest in property in California.

That’s when I started taking action in California. I bought my first property in Wilmington (California) in 2012. Right around then, my plumbing business started slowing down a bit. Instead of ramping up for that business, as I felt things were sort of changing for me, I decided to make real estate investing and house flipping my full-time business. I had the education and confidence and also took another 20-week educational course.

In November 2013, I along with my wife and her “okay” [and that was a 1-minute decision because at that point we both knew this was a business we could truly get behind full-time], started shutting down the plumbing business and began ramping up the house flipping business.
