About Me - Joe-The-Rehabber
"Broken Homes"
Keep Me In Business.

First off, this site is not about me. It's about helping you and fellow rehabbers make the most of your rehab projects from my 30 years experience of fixing broken homes (buildings).

I’m a skilled tradesman licensed in Mechanical HVAC, and earned my degree in Energy Technology at Henry Ford Community College. I've had my Builders License about 20 years and a Real Estate License for 30 years.

Quick note, licenses and degrees are not needed at all to invest and remodel your own homes.
At the time, those credentials were related to a "job"!
Knowing what I know today, I would of skipped that part and would have remodeled my home, a second home, then sell one and buy another, and repeat that process. No licenses needed. Homeowners can pull all their own permits.

So here's how I got started...
At age 18 I started in the factory working industrial maintenance for 2 years until the factory exploded and closed. Since then I've worked on houses, apartments, storefronts and commercial buildings.

Last employment of 12-years was classified as a Building Engineer (mechanical maintenance) on commercial buildings and retired at age 40 from real estate investing.

I personally do the physical work on the buildings I own. I enjoy working the trades and tearing in to a project, adding value, and bringing the building back to life and its original usefulness. As a contractor I worked for others. As a rehabber I work for myself, mostly by myself, on my own properties.

I’ve been helping others learn how to invest in Real Estate Rehab for decades. Currently I’m the VP at our local REIA – Real Estate Investors Association and a regular speaker on related topics about me and other rehabber's experiences and strategies. It was suggested that I document what I’ve been teaching for easy reference and that’s how Ask-The-Rehabber™ developed.

So I am happy to offer whatever help I can to real estate investors, rehabbers, home owners and anyone who likes to work on homes and buildings or wants to buy and sell properties. This is an excellent business if you enjoy the work, you can do quite well.

Part of sharing my experience with you includes using the Site-Build-It website hosting system. The creator of this system is Dr. Ken Evoy, who shares the same honest, hardworking, do-it-yourself approach to website building, as I have for helping people with honest, helpful, strategies about rehabbing and investing in real estate.

I would sincerely recommend Site-Build-It to anyone considering making their own website, especially as business income to create money, to invest in real estate. Rehabbers are all about do-it-yourself and that’s what Site-Build-It is all about, getting your message out and not so much about the technical stuff. It’s “all included”, easy video learning, helpful forums from other Site-Build-It owners, block-by-block site building, domain name, web host, and so much more, all for only $299 per year. It’s all inclusive, unlike the real estate guru programs that left us hanging so often. You get great results for honest hard work. It is certainly something productive to do while your in-between rehab projects.
