Episode 54: Jimmy and Bob from Joint Ops Properties

Real Estate Investing Profits Master Series with Cory Boatright

This episode contains strong language.

I’ve got another fantastic interview lined up for you all today! The Joint Ops duo – Jimmy Vreeland and Bob Scott – are joining me on the Profit Masters Podcast. Joint Ops is their real estate brain child, and their experiences in the military not only inspired their company name, it also inspired their incredible work ethic. It may have also inspired their vulgar jokes, so be warned that there is some foul language in today’s episode around the 36 minute mark.

These two dudes specialize in buying older, single-family homes with a lease option exit strategy, and they are slinging lease options all across St. Louis. We talk about what inspired them to start these leasing options instead of the traditional flip-and-sell model. There were a lot of “a-ha” moments that brought them to this point in their business, and I know a lot of you are familiar with that feeling. You know when everything seems to fall into place but you don’t know how or where it’s going? That’s how these two thrive. Their whole mentality is about starting something just to see where it goes. Because it doesn’t matter if you get it right, as long as you get it going!

In terms of getting it going, pay close attention to Jim and Bob’s investment strategy that we talk about today. Their use of social media marketing and private lenders is definitely going to change the way you think about things. They are a pair of inspiring guys and I am very excited to have them on the podcast!
