He especially loves the art of taking an ugly house that nobody wants and transitioning it into a beautiful masterpiece. Each home provides its own set of challenges and dynamics in taking it from an absolutely ugly house to a stunning home with a whole new personality!! It gives him great pleasure in witnessing people of “dropping their jaws” in seeing the “before pictures” compared to the “stunning new look” of the new home! Every home is a unique story in its transition to a whole new finished product. Jim also leads the Tampa/Clearwater real estate group and invites everyone to attend for a great platform of networking, information and properties.

This panel of experts is not to be missed if you want to really learn how to be successful at real estate investing. These experts are doing business on a daily basis right here in the Tampa Bay Area and know first hand what it takes to make deals happen.
