Jack Gibson knew early on that having a job and working for someone else just wasn't in his destiny, so he sought out alternative paths to creating wealth.
By the age of 21 Jack was running a successful multi-million dollar business coaching clients on effective nutrition and fitness strategies. Then he realized how profitable real estate investing could be. Now he's the Co-Owner of High Return Real Estate, LLC out of St. Joseph, Michigan, and he's passionate about helping other investor find high-yield cash-flowing properties and investing in them passively.
Today Jack and I discuss his early beginnings as an entrepreneur, Multi-Level Marketing businesses and the important lessons they thought him in sales and marketing, and the effects reading Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" had on him.
Jack also shares the types of returns he strives for in his turn-key properties, the importance of finding the right team, and the $60,000 mistake he made on one of his early investments.

When it comes to Finding the Money for your purchase of a home or investment property, Seller Financing can help you avoid traditional lenders while setting terms that work for both the buyer and seller.
From a seller's standpoint, seller financing can help you maintain a steady income, while spreading out the tax consequences of a sale.
But with the passage of the Dodd-Frank Consumer Protection Act, a lot of investors are unsure whether Seller Financing is still a viable strategy.
Luckily, the RPOA held, and recorded, an expert panel at it's annual conference where we discussed how Seller Financing works, the legalities to be aware of, and how to do it right. Here are the experts you will hear from:
David Hill, a Real Estate Attorney with Barnes & Thornburg LLP. His specialties are Real Estate and Finance Law. David was also a guest on the podcast – episode #12
Justin Workman, a Residential Redevelopment Specialist, landlord, investor and home buyer. His company is Work’n It Properties LLC, and Justin has experience with various types of seller financing. Justin was also a guest on the podcast – episode #3, 51 & 67
Javier Rodriguez, a real estate broker at Lake Michigan Realty Management who has sold over 500 properties in Kent County. He’s also a former loan originator with experience providing his clients with seller financing options.

When it comes to politics, everyone has their reasons for voting for a certain candidate or backing certain issues. And as real estate investors, we need to be aware of which candidates are best suited to support our ability to provide housing for our residents while still making a profit.
Today we're going to talk about the places where politics and Real Estate Investing connect, and how we as real estate investors and landlords can support the candidates and legislation that in turn supports us as investors.
Here to have that conversation is Tom Koetsier, award-winning realtor with Compass Realty Services. Tom also sits on the Grand Rapids Planning Commission, he's the current president of the RPOA, and is also a successful real estate investor as well.
Tom also volunteers on the RPOA Government Affairs Commission, as well as the RPOA Political Action Committee (PAC).
