AUTHOR, NATIONAL INSTRUCTOR and FIX-UP SPECIALIST JAY DECIMA Our Fix-Up Advisor Jay P. DeCima, known to many as "Fixer Jay" is a seasoned real estate investor with more than 40 years of hands-on experience; nearly half that time has been devoted to Jay's specialty ---fixing-up rundown houses and adding value. In 1980, Jay quit his 23 year telephone job to pursue real estate investing full time. Fifteen years ago, Jay began teaching others about his money-making strategies at seminars and fixer camps. Students actually visit Jay's properties and see for themselves the kind of properties that earn the biggest profits and why. Today, Jay is widely regarded as the undisputed king of fixer-uppers on the national lecturing circuit. Jay does what he speaks and writes about! Today, Jay spends much of his time overseeing his 200 investment houses in Redding, California, and writing about his experiences. He also shares time with KJAY Publishing Company, founded in 1984, to produce and distribute Jay's home study training products. KJAY Publishing also sponsors training seminars and the popular house fixer camps in Redding. Since Jay's favorite recreation is also the same as his regular everyday job, he finds time for sharing his knowledge with many of the investor clubs around the country. The two most frequently asked questions at seminars --- How much are the profits ----And how long will it take to become financially independent? The answers vary widely according to Jay --- but the faster you can educate yourself - the more profitable this business becomes! Chapter Two of Jay's best-selling self-help book, "FIXING UGLY HOUSES FOR MONEY", he tells readers how he was able to turn 11 rundown houses into $1000 monthly income for 13 years and earned $150,000 profit for a summer of fix-up work.
