Jay Helms is an Amazon #1 Best Selling Author, has been featured twice on BusinessInsider.com, and is the Founder of The W2 Capitalist, a mastermind community for aspiring and experienced real estate investors. Timid, apprehensive, and fearful about purchasing his first single-family rental, Jay now owns over a million dollars in real estate assets and escaped the rat race after just 6 years of side hustling in real estate investing. Knowing that closing on the first deal is the biggest hurdle and mental roadblock for new investors, Jay has a goal to help one million people create multiple streams of income, achieve financial freedom, or build legacy wealth through real estate investing.

Deborah Razo Real Estate Investor Founder of the Women’s Real Estate Network Always an independent spirit, Deborah started her first business in 1990. After owning and partnering in several successful small businesses, she realized that her path to financial freedom was through real estate investing. In addition to her business degree and graduate work at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, Deborah expanded her investing education in 2011 with a series of intensive workshops with Robert Kiyosaki, The Rich Dad Advisors and The Real Estate Radio Guys. It was a natural transition to her, shifting gears from her 20-year design firm to her booming rehabbing business in Southern California. With her first house flip netting near $100,000 in profits, her business took off. Her strategy of flipping houses in California for capital and buying and holding for cash flow in other markets for long term wealth has proven to be a success. Deborah has a flare for fixing and flipping properties, from purchase, rehabbing, marketing and sale processes to tools and techniques for locating properties, analyzing market values, timely decision making to capitalize on opportunities, crafting offers, negotiating, effective due diligence, budgeting, assembling teams, hiring contractors, staging and marketing the sale for profit. With an unsurpassed expertise in renovation and team management, Deborah began purchasing foreclosures in the Memphis area. And just 2 years ago moved from rehab to development. After only 7 years, she now controls over $5 million in real estate and has done several more million in deals. She is currently focusing her energy on partnering with investors seeking financial freedom. She is also the founder of the Women’s Real Estate Network (WREN), a community where women in real estate excel and empower each other. We share experiences, resources and tools to help one another grow both personally and professionally. Currently with Chapters in LA, Seattle, OC, Phoenix, Atlanta and San Diego. More to open this year in Las Vegas and Washington DC. Deborah was recently name Woman to Watch by the national publication Think Realty and was recently selected to be on the cover of the Women’s Issue in March of 2020.
