Overcoming Fears and Succeeding in Real Estate: The Path to Asking Questions and Developing Relationships with Jake Wiley

Jake Wiley is a real estate investor who has found success in the industry. He acknowledges that while many believe real estate investing to be a passive activity, it often requires active involvement and problem-solving. Jake initially got into real estate because of the restrictions on investing in stocks while working as a CPA. He invested in properties in multiple states but soon reached a point where he couldn't take on any more due to loan restrictions and the time commitment required. Jake realized that he needed a more scalable solution and discovered the concept of syndication, where a group of investors pool their resources and rely on experts to manage larger properties. He began to transition away from single-family properties and focused on investing in larger, syndicated projects, providing him with passive income. While he still has a few single-family and vacation rental properties, Jake has found success and peace of mind in his new approach to real estate investing.
