Tim Emery

Owner/Coach/Mentor

Jim’s dedication to real estate investment is evident in his journey. After serving 20 years in the Coast Guard (retiring in 1999), he moved to Colorado for a project with IBM. However, his true passion for real estate led him to rehab houses in 2000. In 2011, Jim embarked on his real estate Investor journey with the local real estate investment association in the Denver Metro area, honing his investing education. In 2016, Jim made a significant career shift, leaving IBM and converting his IBM 401k into a Self-Trustee Retirement Investment Plan (“STRIP”). With this fund, he became a private lender to fellow investors. He expanded his investments beyond Colorado, purchasing several single-family homes out of state and becoming a co-owner of an apartment complex in Mississippi and one in Florida. Jim’s versatility is further demonstrated as a hard money broker, working with several funds that funded rehabs nationwide.

He hosts the Realty Investors Group (“RIG”), a twice-monthly meeting held in Westminster, Colorado. As co-owner of Invest Success, he hosts the John Fisher’s Breakfast Club and the monthly Invest Success meeting with Tim Emery. Serving in the Coast Guard, Jim was pushed forward with a passion for helping others in distressed situations. That passion is carried over into Jim’s ownership of RIG and Invest Success. Jim fully believes that as investors, we can help distressed homeowners get out of bad situations, provide a reasonable offer to the homeowner, make a profit on the rehab project, and still offer the buyer a great deal. Jim continues private lending and investing in single-family homes, apartments, and short-term rentals.
