Description

“Real Estate, especially when you're talking about large investments, is a business and it's just as much a business as anything else.” J. Scott

He has held, sold, rehabbed, bought and syndicated over 150 million in properties around the United States.  He is the co-host of the BiggerPockets Business podcast and has authored 4 books, one of which is a best seller titled “The Book on Flipping Houses.”
