About Me
Degree in computer science with a number of years working for both manufactures of technology and end user companies (telcos, banks, insurance companies). Most recently my technology career has focused on investment banks and other firms in the banking sector.

I stated investing after reading a book, taking a 2 day seminar and then buying a house 'Nothing Down' the following day. That was in CA and it was in 1983 so some time ago. I have been an active investor ever since.

I enjoy offering advice to others. It is a great way to give back and it helps me stay in touch with what is going on in the marketplace. RE investors are general rather generous with their time and I have certainly benefited from the advice over the years. Call it pay back time for me besides a fun way to meet new people who are making it happen.

Real Estate Experience
Multiple states in the US and multiple countries. Current portfolio is focused on US and the UK. The US being the better opportunity given present trends.

I started investing in 1983. My focus is residential, normally 1-4 unit stick built homes. I buy off-plan (pre-construction condos) and I buy older homes. Each deal needs to make sense but what that means varies based on the exit strategies planned per property.

I rarely manage direction any of my rentals as I have proven that I make more money finding good deals than I do managing the tenants or the maintenance.

I will continue to grow the portfolio and to focus on value investing. By that I mean finding deals where there is real value at the time of purchase rather than buying with appreciation being the end game.

Dear Mr. John

Thanks for adding me to your network.

I have a question: Do your company only invest in real estate or you have more plans to introduce your company to new markets?

This is because our company has been developing new projects to invest in Latin American markets. We have government and private contacts to help to your compnay to create synergy.

My e-mail is :jmgordillo@robertek.net if your company are interested to develop new projects with us. This is a serious proposal (not scam)

Thanks

This is a great additional exit strategy plus Get paid $$$$ to build your Buyers list.  Increase your local network with temporary seller financed notes. www.whatmeltdown.com

Please let me know what you think.

Hi John,

Reliance Escrow can close anything in the state of Washington only. We can close in other states, however under our closer's LPO license she cannot prepare legal documents in other states.

Hey John,

Thanks for the invite!  And I have to say, Im surprised you were able to move away from the NW.  Ive been here about a year and cant imagine leaving.  Even heading back home (Idaho) for a few days leaves me yearning to come back.

I do have a question for you.  Im searching for a title company willing to work with investors, and yesterday I spoke with a woman who said a third party, as would be in a contract assignment, cannot be paid via escrow.  Have you heard anything about this or is this a sign she is not willing to play ball?

Thanks, Chris
