About Me: 

My name is Jonathan and I am from Tulsa, OK. I have been a Realtor in Tulsa for 5 years now and have always wanted dreamed about investing myself. I have helped numerous investors find great property, but I always thought that "someday" I would be able to do the same. When the market finally came crashing down here in Oklahoma around 2008 I decided I needed a steady income, so I have a "full-time" job, but still do real estate on the side to this day. My girlfriend, Keely (KJanson7), and I attended one of Dean's seminars and we have been off to the races since. We created a company called Vintage Ventures, for one we thought it had a good ring to it but Vintage in the dictionary besides meaning old also means classy and of course a Venture is something you invest in with the hopes of making more money. We try to keep with that and have class in our investing. Being a Realtor and dealing with a lot of investors, I know there are ways to cut corners and cut out the homeowner, but we both believe that if you help someone, you will surely reap what you sow.

So back to how Dean has gotten us off our butts, a month after the seminar, we got our first house under contract. It is a 4 bedroom 2 bath home that has to go through Probate, but it will be well worth the wait. I went over to it the other day and a contractor friend of ours said it would only take around $15K to fix it up. Here's the great part, we have it under contract for $50,000 and the neighbors are listed for $163,000 and $160,000!!!

We still have to make it through the probate process, but once we are done with that we already have an investor lined up for a loan and then we are off to do the rehab and flip it.

I have dabbled in investing before and I always just get down on myself and stop trying, with my girlfriend though, there is none of that with her. She has definitely kept me on it and we have approached more people, but a lot of them are unrealistic with what they want for the home so we will wait and see if they are more motivated a few more months from now.

If anyone is in the Tulsa area and needs any help (CMA or tax information etc.), please feel free to contact me and I will be more than willing to help you.

Thank you,
