Jason Buzi is one of the most well known investors in the Bay Area. He has been consistently earning over 7 figures a year and has presented at countless meetups, conferences, and events. He’s incredibly generous with his knowledge and constantly shares his viewpoints about investing with his group on Facebook “living the dream”. 

Like many investors in the bay area, he’s a home flipper, but instead of focusing on more projects, he focuses on fewer, but bigger deals. He hates running a complicated business with a lot of overhead and loves the freedom that being a sole proprietor gives him. Today, Jason is going to share his knowledge on how he’s able to consistently earn 7 figures a year and gives actionable steps for newbies who are interested in getting started in the business.

Here are Jason's ten rules for Success:

1. Positive attitude is a MUST. I could dwell on all the deals that didn't work out and all the challenges of being self employed. But instead I focus on opportunity and possibility. There has been a lot of doom and gloom recently. But this is still the land of opportunity.

Obtaining financing is often a complicated and confusing process. Most people will only buy one or two homes in their entire lifetime and will never have a true understanding of what goes on when they try to get a loan on their home. Today, I have John Kim on the show. John is a mortgage broker with Motto Mortgage Experience, and gives us a deep dive into his world and explains how the loan process works as well as how the loan pricing works. It's a very enlightening episode, and has tons of information that you wouldn't find elsewhere!

Arlen is a buy and hold investor in the Bay Area. He started his real estate career by house hacking. About 6 years ago he took massive action and sold everything he had to acquire two 4-plexes in Mountain View. He currently owns a variety of properties in the area including a light industrial commercial building in Milpitas and multifamily units in Oakland. He constantly preaches about the value of ‘swinging your own hammer’ and learning how to do construction work yourself.

Jen is the Marketing Director at Wilson Investment Properties, a commercial syndication company as well as the President of BACOMM, one of the largest and most respected meetups in the Bay Area. She's also the author of a #1 best selling book on Amazon! Her journey to get here was definitely not linear. Along the way, she had to create her own opportunities. She’s an amazing individual, and I think we all have a lot to learn from her.
