Insights on Real Estate Growth and Investment Trends
Join us to hear Patrick's story! Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the evolution of real estate, particularly on the investment side. The market has shifted dramatically, with investors increasingly focusing on long-term value rather than quick flips.
One trend I’ve seen gaining momentum is the move toward newer builds. Many homeowners are selling older properties and upgrading to modern homes with more efficient layouts and energy-saving features. This shift isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about future-proofing investments.
For real estate investors, this trend presents a great opportunity. Whether you’re focusing on single-family homes, multi-family units, or commercial properties, understanding these shifts helps you identify high-demand areas and capitalize on the evolving market.
Through my experiences—from managing property to hosting American Dream TV—it’s clear that real estate investment is about recognizing trends, adapting to changes, and always keeping an eye on the future.

AJ first became interested in real estate in 2006. After years of contemplating, he bought his first house, a duplex that he and his wife made home for four years. Since then, they have purchased additional units and begun rehabbing single family homes.
AJ lives with his wife and children in the Eau Claire area. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family, working out, personal training, and he recently started coaching youth basketball. The challenge of investing in real estate is something AJ enjoys.
He is always looking to share his knowledge and to continue learning about every facet of real estate.
Shaun became interested in real estate two years ago. He has a home improvement company and investing company, where he focuses on flipping and BRRRRing real estate with his brother. Shaun and his wife, Sam, have a podcast called “Tutors of Life” where they research life, so you don’t have to.
Shaun loves business, real estate, and investing, which are the main topics he discusses on his podcast. His first company he built, started in 2017 and sold in November of 2021 to focus on real estate. Shaun enjoys spending time with his wife and dog, Mimi and taking cruises in one of his classic cars.
