JayMarc Homes wasn’t Marc and Jay's first business. They started from scratch twice. Their first business was a DJ company that they grew and sold. Then invested the profits from that sale into real estate and realized a passion for buying and selling properties. This experience paved the way to starting a construction business. Twelve years later, it’s grown to a phenomenal level.
Not only did Marc and Jay build a real estate company startup from scratch, they did it in the middle of a real estate recession. They’ll share what challenges was faced growing a business in that economic climate and how they overcame them. Raising capital is another common obstacle when starting a real estate management company, and we’ll hear how Marc managed his finances early on to achieve smart, consistent growth.
The team JayMarc built for their business was another big part of his success. They created an entrepreneurial culture in his company and will discuss how they instill that in the team and why that helps JayMarc Homes succeed. We’ll also learn what servant leadership means, why it’s an effective approach, and how to achieve it in a business in any industry.
If you’re considering a small business in construction or real estate, you’ll definitely want to hear Marc’s advice before you take that leap! And make sure to check out our other interviews with business owners in the construction industry:

[@b-rare]

Seems like a lot of risk for only a 10% profit before tax . Idk about this one. Money isn’t easy to make that’s for sure . I did 400k profit on a duplex conversion bought off market. You don’t always have to tear down and build new . Get creative . Buying off market is the key for sure

[@robertyarbrough4925]

More like 25-35% profit…for home builders, 10% not even in ball park

[@UpFlip]

Some prefer tearing down and building, while others prefer buying new and flipping. Really depends on the person!

[@b-rare]

@@robertyarbrough4925 I know home builders personally and the profit is 10% or less. It depends what the developers are selling the lot for etc. you have to be big and have relationship with developers to get the deals on the lots. Or you can door knock and do what these people do. End of the day getting the off market deal or “wedge deal” is how you have to start otherwise you’re playing with fire on the profit side. You need that sweetheart deal to make the money that’s what I’m saying . It’s a must have / part of the business model.

[@nickyweav5820]

How do you buy off market

[@b-rare]

@@nickyweav5820 just like buddy says in this video. Door knocking. You can do flyer campaigns. You can do cold calling. You should learn how to write an offer up yourself and just have a lawyer to close the deal for you. Have a print out of purchase agreements in your car ready to go. Also let all your friends family know that you’re buying property and get the word out. People that are embarrassed to sell online (mls. I’m in Canada sorry) and people that want a quick sale will sell private (off market). They can usually get more money selling online with an agent cause there’s more buyers and competition but there are people that don’t want to do that cause they don’t want neighbours knowing they are selling or people coming to check out their house and see how they live. Could be a hoarder house or sloppy inside etc. many reasons people would sell to you off market for a lesser price. Just keep in mind no agents getting paid so instantly you should get a 5% discount cause that covers commission fees. Then negotiate down from there . Pick at the house . It needs this it needs that etc. always buy fixer uppers never buy a turn key property. You want to add value. Buying off market gets you ahead of the game cause you’ll already be up x amount of equity just from the purchase . There are people (wholesalers) that get a contract signed to buy the house, and then before the deal closes they sell that paper to another buyer for a profit. I’ve seen 100k being made just by doing this. That can work in a hot market.

They both combined had 30 houses, and had to lose everything in the crash. They probably overleveraged to the extreme where all their houses had close to no equity, reling on rent to pay the mortgage, and in 30 years they own all 30 homes outright. Greed comes into play and its very dangerous to do that. If tenant doesnt pay, destroy the house, major expensive house fix, rent decline in the area happens, they are toast. Its great to boast about having 30 houses, it gives you status, women, cockiness. Its all a house of cards ready to collapse though. The big lottery win is if they bought all 30 houses from 09-11, and the whole seattle area went up in in value by 400k per house, they would be so rich by now. That would be 12 million (400k x30) in house value.

[@richardgshields]

The risk reward ratio is lacking in this business - shooting for 10% profit in high end flipper real estate is just not a solid plan. Hopefully that was just bs. I built my own home and saved at least 25% in cost per square foot on the build over other contractors, so, I know it is possible to run crazy good numbers.. but it gets pricey when you've got to buy the junk house on the initial property purchase. You could easily lose your ass, especially if the bank has problems or hits you with a deficiency if the market drops suddenly, as in 2008. I would never advise anyone to make deals like this, unless you've got deep pockets that can carry the project to completion in case of disaster, so that you can get the home finished with a Certificate of Occupancy and then you've got mortgage-ability, and then you can rent or sell to a much wider range of customers.

[@UpFlip]

They do have a solid plan. They've been doing this for a long time. But we thank you for sharing your input! 👊

10 % profit of 3 million dollar homes!! More like 30 percent. Dr Horton and holt homes makes on average house 30-40 percent lol

Took them 7 years to pay back the banks. That sounds like a major headache.

[@marcrousso3214]

We owed one bank 2.5M and were committed to paying it off as fast as possible. They gave us incentives to pay off faster and took advantage of it. But, yes.. was a major headache to say the least. :)

12 months to build a house? Lie, i built in 3 months in CA.

Houses made out of Wood and more Cheap Wood…………… 🧐 Never pay or buy any structure that expensive unless it made out of CONCRETE. So many problems with wood, Fire, Insects, Mold, moisture , structure unstable and most importantly Concrete will last twice if not longer…………. Wood Home must be extremely cheap to even be considered

Materials depend on the location! ☺️

The very first point to this video … be careful how much you leverage . Everyone’s doing good until the ball drops . Just like what’s happening exactly right now with interest rates shooting up. Everyone was winning with the low rates and refinancing buying more property doing the 80/20 LTV. Be careful how fast you want to move people because a bankruptcy will set you back many many years. I have friends right now today squeezed . I had people laugh at me cause I didn’t do the traditional 80/20 (meaning leave 20% in the house pull as much of it out). Be aggressive but also always be paranoid. Worst case scenarios happen. Don’t get too risky or when the tide goes out you’ll be able to see who’s swimming naked 🥲

This is great advice as always, C B!

Facts. And it doesn't seem like they learned either because they're only pulling in a 10% profit from all this work

Why on earth would you demolish a perfectly fine old house? So environmentally unfriendly. Should have remodeled it.

[@UpFlip]

That's what they do. They build new houses! ☺️

[@alexanderchenf1]

@@UpFlip they can build new houses. They should not demolish perfectly fine old houses

[@marcrousso3214]

The houses that we buy are dilapidated built 50-60 years ago in great locations. Would ultimately cost more to remodel with existing foundation. We do send all material to get recycled. It was discussed on the show, but left out of the episode.
