Jesse is the co-founder of Worcester Investments, a family owned real estate company based in Kansas City, Missouri. He also sits as director of fundraising for capital, building and maintaining investor relationships.

In this podcast, Jesse talks about the market in Kansas and why Worcester Investment decided to move their business from Oregon to the midwest. Jesse describes value investing and the intrinsic value of real estate dependent on things that can be controlled instead of speculation.

QUOTES:

"The most boring average markets often times are where you're going to see your greatest cash flows assuming it's not a dying city."

"In everything I'm doing, I want to be doing it thirty years from now so I don't want to be betting on market timing, there's a lot of risk factors that come into play when you're speculating."

"Most great deals come from two situations: someone making a bad decision or it's just being a situation that's very unique where a great deal is able to be had."

"The driver behind the numbers of the property are the people who are working on the site whether they're corporate officers or physically on the site."

"Culture and for us, how we treat individuals has been the single best determinant."
