Jack Gibson began his entrepreneurial journey at 19, and founded his first company at the ripe old age of 21. Operating a successful nutrition consulting and distribution company, he had built a multi-million dollar venture before he was old enough to rent a car. Soon thereafter, he bought his first home as an investment. One quickly became five, and then the bug hit. He became obsessed with learning everything about Real Estate Investing and soon had over 50 investment properties generating passive income. Today, Jack spends his time mentoring other entrepreneurs, building his real estate investment portfolio, and helping other investors to build a brighter future through the power of turnkey real estate income.

Jeff Schechter, aka “Shecky” has had the entrepreneurial bug his entire life. He started his first business right out of college, and over the years been involved in numerous businesses ventures. His love for real estate investing began in the 1980’s, when he rehabbed 5 of his own residences, before the term “house-hacking” even existed. Since those early days of torn up kitchens and bathrooms, he’s bought and sold many properties, and is an active investor to this day. In addition to investing, he operates a private consulting practice. He thrives on helping people realize their full potential…not just in business and investing, but in all aspects of life.

Use stocks, bonds,  an existing 401(k) or IRA as collateral

Try grants from HUD or the USDA

Angel investing is another option

Angels are informal investors who invest in the start of a company

Venture capitalists give money to help build new startups…

Or try unsecured business credit lines, using your assets as collateral

Some alternative lenders now offer unsecured lines of credit for $50 - 150k

Or try crowdfunding, via a platform like Kickstarter or Indiegogo

And do not forget about business credit!

This is credit in the business name, not your own. Start with vendor credit

With 10 revolving store credit lines reporting, advance to fleet credit

With 14 fleet credit lines reporting, move onto cash credit
