It's an equity into the property and it's credited back."   "The tenant buyers are more involved in the process, they have more at stake in the game, and they actually get to pick a home."   "Ultimately at our core, it's finding our team of people that believe in what we do – that's our internal team and then all of the people that we speak to, they're our referral partners that wanna help their clients and investors."    Links   Email: Alfonso Salemi [email protected]   Website: JAAG Properties https://jaagproperties.com/
