About Us

Why are we doing all of this?

 We created Take Action Real Estate: the website, podcast, created tutorials, wrote blogs and put all all of this together to help YOU. We want to share our experiences and knowledge and help you get started without making the same mistakes we did.

      John has always been active on online networking forums. Due to that and networking constantly, he has a stream of investors contacting him for advice. "I simply ran out of time to help them all and respond individually. I really wanted to start this so we could help these investors."

    Where We Started

    In 2013, Brian and John did their first 2 deals together. Brian was having a hard time finding deals on the MLS. John had a couple wholesale deals when he was getting started. Brian had the funds and John was finding the deals.

    Hitting Our Stride

    2019 is going to be our biggest year yet.  Our goal is to reach 200 rental units by year's end.  We plan to do this by buying a total of 62 MFH units and 62 single family homes.  Of those 62 SFH homes we plane to flip approximately 36 of them. We are excited for what is to come!  We also had goals to add 3 more positions to our team (2 of which have already been filled!)
