James Wachob has scaled his investing business in Memphis Tennessee to having 78 team members and is rehabbing well over 200 houses a year, along with doing new construction. His investing model is around providing turnkey rentals as well as doing some traditional wholesale deals and flips. On the turnkey & property management side, his company manages over 1700 rental units for some 500+ investors. He has built quite a large operation and there is a lot to be learned from what he has to say regardless of if you are a beginning investor or an experienced investor looking to scale your real estate investing business to the next level.
Key Takeaways
- Focus on one area of real estate investing and take action. Beginners should avoid shiny object syndrome and taking on too many ways to invest at one time.
- Place a dollar figure on one hour of work value for yourself, then, when you can afford it, hire-off to someone else everything that isn't worth your hourly rate.
- Build that team because that team is the only thing which will make you scale!

DO YOU PLAY LOTTERY??
I will assume you do or you wouldn’t have ended up here on this webpage. But do you WIN the lottery? I will assume you don’t, or you wouldn’t have ended up here on this webpage.
My name is James M. Mason, If you want a spell to win the lottery, look no further. Dr. Lucas lottery spell is amongst the most powerful spells I have experienced, and you will feel the power once He is done with your lottery spell.
The spell uses a wide range of magical sources, then combines and funnels those energies into one single “beam” of luck attracting, destiny controlling, wealth manifesting pure magical power.
Incorporating herbs, candles, the elements and much more simple magical techniques, this spell can be cast in a few minutes using a few very simple ingredients in His temple.
I am a living witness of his power because he just helped me with his lottery spell and I won CASH FOR LIFE LOTTERY, I’m so happy right now. Thanks to you Dr. Lucas.
