Jay P DeCima

Yes, he is a real estate guru. Jay P. DeCima presents himself as an ordinary country boy. He has written no-nonsense books such as "sweat equity" and "Start Small, Profit Big in Real Estate", where he advocates the "Investing in Fixer Uppers".

DeCima also produces home study training products he in a series he calls "Fixer Jay". He distributes these through KJAY Publishing Company. Jay also publishes a newsletter he calls "TRADE SECRETS", and conducts a three-day "FIXER HOUSE CAMP". He charges around $800 to get in.

Jay P. DeCima has spent over 45 years investing in real estate, and nearly half that time has been devoted to fixing-up rundown houses. He claims he currently manages two hundred investment houses that he owns. In 1980, Mr. DeCima quit his 23 year telephone job to pursue real estate investing full time.

DeCima appears to be one of the good guys, who lives up to his good-boy image. $800 may sound like a lot to spend on learning how to sweat, but it's a lot less than many gurus charge for boot camps. People have some great things to say about his books, which give down to earth advice. But I think he's taking the country boy thing too far when he suggests you don't use computers to manage your investments or analyze data.

Since I review business opportunities and internet gurus all day for a living, you can guess I know which ones work and which ones don't. Click here to see how I make my money.
