About Javier Hinojo
Married 22 years, 5 kids, been self employed pretty much all my life since 16 as a locksmith.
Went to a Rich Dad Poor Dad seminar NOV of 2015. Paid my 35k got some training.
Hade 32 cents in my account on new years day 2017. I almost gave up. Then I asked my kids for their Christmas money so I could pay my rent.
Started fix and flip, then I did some wholesales. We would fix and flip over 50 per year and wholesale 80+ by middle of 2019. Then late 19 I decided to stop cold turkey and go to commercial real estate. I pretty much let all my staff go and started from scratch. I started to liquidate all my SF.

I believe in mentors/coaching. I don’t do that but know most of the big players in the business and can give you a good recommendation.
By the end of 2019 I closed on my first apartment 63 units outside Charleston.
Fast forward about 10 months later I had 343 units across 3 properties. Valued at 25M and being all in around 16M.
