    "My wife and had I previously invested in high growth, poor cash flow markets. I wound up spending the better part of a year frantically searching for a bargain-priced, mega-cash flow market. There must have been some divine intervention when I stumbled across CJ's web site. With CJ's expert advice, I was able to go from having no knowledge of the Pittsburgh market to closing on a property with an extremely high cap rate in a matter of two months. While CJ was very persuasive, he was also extremely patient in answering every question on the local economy and which neighborhoods to invest in. CJ also referred me to a very competent contractor and property manager. With their hard and quick work, we were able to upgrade the property and have it rented in the middle of winter within 60 days after closing. I feel like we've discovered a gold mine in Pittsburgh, and it's soley due to CJ and his outstanding team.  We can't wait to work with him on our next project!

    "Being based in Dallas, it has been a challenge maintaining my properties in the north. One property in particular had been on the market for almost 2 years. I became aware of what CJ does in June of 2006. I contacted him and made me an offer for my property. The same property that had been on the market for two years was optioned creatively to a wonderful family in only 3 weeks. I am now working with Cj and Stacy in greater capacities. I believe in their ability to get the job done and help me pick out the winning properties for me to keep investing in Pittsburgh."

  • "Cj and his wife, Stacy introduced me to real estate investing in the early 2000's. I had been an investor in oil and the stock market for years with my father. Since meeting them, they have showed me that real estate can be a great way to increase my net worth. It has also been a great way to shelter funds. We continue to do rehabs and rentals in the Florida market with great ease and success. Working with them has been a pleasure."

  • #2. "CJ and Stacy have made my money work for me in Pittsburgh. Even better than in Florida. They seem to find real estate for me to move my money into every few weeks. Business is good. "

  • "Working as a personal fitness trainer in Toronto, I had never dealt with real estate and in fact never even owned my own home until CJ showed me how easy it was to option contracts and buy houses with just a few bucks rather than dealing with a bank. In the past few months, I have acquired the knowledge to invest wisely in Ontario and in Pittsburgh. There are so many "deals" out there and now I know how to grab them without losing my shirt. I feel confident that anyone who works with this company will make money and be on their way to creating passive income for the long term."

    "Hey C.J., Thanks for all your help with our first rental property in Pittsburgh. From start to finish you and your team were exceptional, both in your knowledge of the market and in the work that was done with the renovations (the price was unbeleivable!). Your team also did a great job finding (and qualifying) our current tenants. I'm looking forward to our next purchase with you."
    Thanks again

    "I have been working with CJ and Stacy for 8 years in the real estate field. We have done many deals together and they have sent me a lot of business over those years. They have always been nice, patient and understanding regarding the mortgage process. I have enjoyed working with such relaxed people and would definately work with these two again. I recomend them highly, they are pros"

    "We had no credit, and not a lot of money to put down. The mortgage company gave us the run-around and we thought that we would lose the house all together. Instead of walking away and leaving us stranded, CJ put us in the house at 1340 Hiawatha and let us rent until we could get financed through one of their mortgage officers. In 3 months, we had our mortgage and we closed on our dream home. We love these people for what they did for us. We now own a home that not only had $20,000 of equity, but also enjoyed an equity increase of about $20,000 in just the past 3 months. Thanks CJ. Without you this never could have happened for us."

    "CJ and Stacy rented me a house that I love, they let me and my 3 year old son Brandon move in and allowed me to make payments because I could not qualify for a mortgage. I am on my way to repairing my credit and will be able to buy this house that I am in in less than 6 months! I thought this would never be possible after my divorce. Thanks guys."

  • "We found CJ on the internet. He told us we could buy a house instead of renting it. We liked that idea. They showed us how to rent to own one of their houses and it was easy. We now have a payment that is less than renting an apartment, our son is happy and we have a place to call our own."

    "CJ and Stacy are really easy to work with and always have solutions to problems. When we could not close on one of their properties in time, they re-directed us to one of their mortgage agents and they got the deal done. We were certain to lose our deposit, but they worked with us and we have since done 2 more deals together. Great people to work with."

    "CJ and I have been working together in the real estate business for about 5 years now. He is the most energetic person I have ever met. He strives to make everyone happy and get them what they want."

    "CJ and I did our first deal together when he was about 20 years old or so. When most people were out partying, CJ was out buying and selling property and making people's dreams come true. I have since done many deals with my friend and partner. He is conscientious and professional and a pleasure to do business with. I am not just saying this because CJ is my friend, I am saying this because it is true. It is very rare in life that a young person shows such passion for anything."

    "I had Some issues with my credit because I was a victim of identity theft. I lost everything. I had to move out of state and change my life. It was very difficult to find a house that someone would owner finance me because my credit was not the greatest. CJ Found me a fixer upper that I could pay for on monthly installments and have the opportunity to purchase in 3 years. I am coming up on 3 years now and my credit score is great. Thanks for helping me repair my credit, buy a house and have the life that I always wanted here in Florida."

    "When I first got into the real estate field, I was in my late 30's, thinking about a career change and kind of not really sure where to go and what to buy. I formed a relationship with CJ and picked his brain. This guy knows a lot about real estate. If I could say that I have had one great friend in the business of buying and selling real estate, I would say that CJ has helped me the most. I respect his opinions and amazing eye for increasing valued areas, I respect his methods of business and I appreciate his caring and compassion for others. You are my friend. Thank you for all you have done."

  • "CJ and I have been doing business together since 1998. In that time, we have had much success with both buying and selling real estate in the hot Florida market. Even through the cooling period, CJ has maintained an edge over the competition. I think it's because he loves what he does."
