Hello and welcome to the Movers and Shakers podcast. My name is Gino Barbera, one of the co-founders

of Jake and Gino. And on this episode, we have Jason Shea. He's an aerospace engineer by trade.

He started paving his real estate career after spending a decade working on rockets

and electric aircraft. He's a lot smarter than I am. Jason started house hacking unintentionally

and later started investing out of state in 2020. Since then, he has partnered up with experienced

operators based in Cincinnati with focus in acquisition and asset management. His goal is to

continue growing his equity and cash flow by providing value to both residents

and capital partners.

Welcome to the show, Jason.

Thank you, Gianella.

Thanks for having me.

I love the story.

You're in startups.

You don't sort of want to go into these big bureaucratic, you know,

types of companies. But at the same time, you know it's not sustainable. It's like Gino in the

kitchen. Gino in the kitchen at 60 years old, really can't move around anymore. He can't be at

his feet for 12 hours a day. Jason, is that what attract you to a multifamily and said, I need to find another way to make money for the family?

Yeah, I think there are many different ways to make money.

And I think real estate and multifamily are more predictable and more stable than a lot of

asset costs out there.

Sure, you can probably make more crypto, but there's a lot more volatility that goes with it.

So I felt like I prefer it a, steady, and more predictable type of asset class.
