It’s never too early to get started.
This week I’m joined by John Cohen who is just 29 years old and is the President of JC Property Group Inc., a company he formed in early 2013. John played college baseball and graduated with a degree in Economics from Queens College. Fresh out of college John started a job as a stock broker at Morgan Stanley and quickly realized that it wasn’t the path for him.
He switched his focus to real estate and quickly found that making money on tax deed properties wasn’t as easy as he’d hoped. He then joined Marcus & Millichap and became a successful commercial broker, all the while buying properties for himself, before leaving the company to focus 100% of his time on the growth of his company.

[43:11] John’s biggest aha moment- Don’t take things for granted. You have to work for what you want.
[47:10] Best Habits: Get up early, do the hardest things first.
[48:18}- Best Resource- People. Reach out to people that can help you. Meet with them instead of calling. Call them instead of texting.
