As a graduate of the University of Waterloo, in civil engineering, Adam Wissink realizes that a good foundation is key to success and he carries that into his work at JAAG. Building trust with both the Tenant Buyers and Investors through JAAG Properties’ personal approach to the Rent-To-Own process is at the heart of its success. It’s the little things that do this, as personally walking Tenant Buyers through their homes when they take possession or taking the time to discuss the program with Investors. It’s this level of commitment that reinforce JAAG’s commitment to each Tenant Buyer’s and Investor’s success.

While working with Investors to ensure each of the Rent-To-Own programs is a successful investment, Adam ensures that the relationships that the company builds are beneficial and long-lasting. JAAG does everything from set up to completion. Investors appreciate that JAAG incorporates a hands-on approach to create passive investments for their Investors. One of Adam’s favorite events is the Annual Investor Appreciation Dinner as it reinforces the importance of building and maintaining those relationships.

Adam appreciates the positive energy of working with both the Tenant Buyers and Investors. He enjoys when Investors meet the Tenant Buyers they are assisting. He feels that a ‘do good to do well’ mindset is one of JAAG’s positive contributions to the community and always says tells both the Tenant Buyers and Investors that “Your Success in Our Business”!.

As a father of two, Adam has often taken his kids along when visiting Tenant Buyers for move-in day. His kids still talk about playing with the other children in different homes. He enjoys seeing the children interacting and knows that helping his Tenant Buyers and their families will impact those kids’ future. Some Tenant Buyers have been through bankruptcy or are self-employed. Either way as they are unable to obtain a mortgage today, JAAG makes homeownership a reality for the entire family.

Adam loves seeing pride that Tenant Buyers have in their homes. Tenant Buyers love and want to show off their homes and the upgrades they might have made. Their kids are excited to show off their bedrooms and their favorite spots to play hide-n-seek in the house. JAAG’s relationships with their clients are very different than the usual tenant/landlord relationship, with gratitude going both ways.
You will learn about:
– The foundation of JAAG Properties 
– How JAGG Properties is different from other RTO companies
– How rent to own works
– Tips on finding investors
– Tenant buyer criteria
– RTO Pros and Cons

Jesse Fragale is a commercial real estate broker and investor. He started investing in student rental properties a little over ten years ago. Recognizing a good thing, he grew his student housing portfolio and although you might correctly think student housing equals keg parties and irresponsible tenants, it was a guaranteed way to increase market rents in a rent-controlled market.

As his passion for investing grew, Jesse began investing in single-family homes and condos and did some wholesaling. Following this, he transitioned to investing in multi-family apartment buildings which is his primary focus today.

Jesse is a proud contributor to the Bigger Pockets YouTube channel and has also created his own channel to address particular topics in more detail. The idea is to provide viewers with simple and straightforward real estate advice and education no matter what investing experience they have.

When they first met, their shared passion for real estate investing, a vision of financial freedom and an understanding of what it would take to get there got this duo set on the road to success.

Together, they have founded Dupuis Properties and put their business plan into action. Their ultimate goal was to expand and to grow their real estate portfolio to a point where their investments became prosperous enough for Mel to leave her full-time job. They have already achieved this goal and she was able to do so before turning 40. Their best year to date was when they impressively acquired twelve properties in less than twelve months and now own just under 100 doors and have an additional 100+ doors under contract.

Last year their life changed forever. Dave and Mel were in a horrific, life-changing highway accident caused by a careless truck driver. They decided to capture and share all their secrets in the book titled “Real Estate Investing Secrets – A NO-BS Guide to Creating Wealth & Freedom”. Published earlier this year it has already become an Amazon #1 Best Seller numerous times.

Greg Offner speaks and facilitates workshops on micro-disruption and creativity. Attendees are transformed and entertained because aside from his 16 years as a sales executive, Greg also spent 12 years as a duelling piano bar player. Entertaining audiences on 3 continents taught him something about creating a memorable experience.

In 2015 Greg’s vocal cords were so badly damaged, that permanent and irreversible loss of his voice was just weeks away. Doctors said he had to have surgery on his voice to have any chance of recovery and they weren’t optimistic. 

At that time, Greg was living two lives. By day, he was a corporate sales and insurance executive, a career he had thrived in for nearly 20 years. Outside of that suit and tie world, Greg entertained audiences of all sizes as a professional musician and duelling piano player.  

Over the next 4 years, Greg would undergo 10 surgeries on his voice, each one requiring a long period of total silence post-surgery. During the silent, emotional roller coaster of recovery, he leveraged positive patterns like focus, resilience, attitude and disrupted patterns that no longer served him.  
 
This set the foundation for the DisruptionLIVE process, and ultimately the framework of pattern disruption Greg speaks on with audiences and organizations around the globe.

– Your big why
– Why done is better
