[Jared Smith]

Hello! My name is Jared Smith and I have been involved in various real estate investments since 2006 when we did our first flip in the PNW all on a CC! (not recommended). In 2017 we started our journey with long-term buy-and-hold investment properties in the Memphis, TN area after selling a property that we were losing money on every month in NOVA that we purchased as a primary residence in Jan 2007 (talk about all-time bad timing) and then had to move with the Navy in 2009 (2nd all-time worst timing). We have done all kinds of deals on our own ranging from buying, selling, flips, BRRRRs, and now are also invested in commercial properties along with our SFR portfolio.

After retiring from the Navy last summer (2023) and working in a corporate office for 18 months, I have made the leap to working for REI Nation, the country's premier turnkey investment property company. The Clothier family is a real force and I am all in on my new journey.

I'll see you all in the forums!

@Abel Curiel, indeed. That is my now 14 year old daughter. Both her and my 9 year old son are passive investors in our long-term rentals. We have created an investment plan for them to buy shares of a property, against what we put down for an initial down payment, so it accelerates there returns. Our children are at $100 and $63/month passive income on the homes that will eventually be their first rental properties!
