Jake and Gino are just your average dudes. Longtime friends. Gino was the pizza guy and Jake was working as a drug rep when a random conversation between the two led to a booming real estate investment business.
So why teach? Why not just do?
“Because we first struggled on our very first deal,” Gino said. “On our very first 25-unit apartment complex, we didn’t have a community. We didn’t have an accountability group.”
Read on for my Jake and Gino review.
“Me and Jake were the accountability group,” Gino continues.
“We started buying these deals, we realized the three-legged framework and we realized mom and pops.”
Someone sprinkle me with comprehension dust. No clue what he means by that.
Gino rambles on, “And that inspired me to start documenting our journey from zero units to over 1,800 apartments.”
“We created the Jake and Gino community. And from there, it’s been an amazing ride. Our students have closed over 20,000 units and counting. Learn, do, teach. That’s what’s great about it.”
“For the Jake & Gino community, I’ve learned multifamily; we’ve done it; and now we are teaching and we’re giving back.”
“And the amazing thing is that we’re learning even more, becoming even better investors. We’re sharpening our saw every single week with the podcast, with the weekly lessons, we have all these bootcamps going on – we’re learning every single day.”
“We’re becoming better investors, we’re sharing the knowledge in our community, and that community of like-minded individuals is teaching us as well.”
“So you wanna know why we created Jake and Gino? We created it to create a community of multifamily entrepreneurs. That’s what our mission is with creating Jake and Gino.”
“It’s been a great ride. It shortens the learning curve in such an amazing way.”
“I remember when I first got outta college, I probably listened to 100 business books on Audible. And now half those people we’ve done a podcast with and now we can take that information, package it, and share it with our community.”
“And we’re seeing outstanding results,” Gino claims.
Alright, so, down-to-earth guys. Wholesome backstory. They got a podcast, they make YouTube videos, they put out a lot of content.
What’s the catch?
They’ve got a ton of stuff to sell ya.
Two books – The Honey Bee and Wheelbarrow Profits – which they coauthored.
A third book, called Creative Cash, written by their buddy, Bill Ham.
All three can be bundled together and purchased for a measly $30.
This is a good way to start your journey into multifamily investing. But they can’t ship the books outside the U.S. Sorry, Canada.
Then there’s all kinds of tools and courses.
The Deal Analyzer is a suite of six easy-to-use calculators to quickly assess any deal. Cost is $97.
The Gateway To Multifamily is a four-week course that covers the essentials of apartments. Cost is $197.
Wheelbarrow Profits Academy is their flagship coaching program where Gino and Jake personally mentor you. Cost is – are you sitting down? – $20,000.
I’d rather have Jeffrey Dahmer mix me a drink than drop $20 Gs to learn apartment syndication, but hey, that’s just me.
Besides the sticker shock and the fact that their website looks like an episode of Hoarding: Buried Alive, everything else checks out.
They’ve got an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, where there’s 53 five-star customer reviews and not a single complaint filed.
That’s pretty much unheard of in the real estate guru space.
If you wanna invest in apartments, definitely check them out.
