The Not Your Average Investor show will show you how JWB has made it easy for people like you to invest in rental income properties by showing you the fundamentals that make rental income investments succesfull- cash flow, market dynamics, and (most importantly) people.We're glad you've decided you are NOT average!

481 | Building The Right Real Estate Investing Team - The JWB Way w/ Laura McLogan

January 05, 2026 • Pablo Gonzalez / Laura McLogan • Season 2 • Episode 481

Real estate investing is full of numbers you can verify.

But the part investors struggle with is simpler:

Who are the people behind this? And can they actually run the play for the next 10 years?

In this episode, we share how JWB builds a team that consistently executes — from the way we recruit and hire, to the culture we protect, to the incentives we align so outcomes stay strong for investors. Join our host, Pablo Gonzalez, and SHRM-CP–certified HR professional at JWB, Laura McLogan.

This is a behind-the-scenes look at what most turnkey companies won’t talk about:

- What JWB does differently in the hiring process (and why it’s hard to make it through)
- How we recruit and retain A-players inside a small business
- The culture and incentive alignment that keeps the team stable — and investors confident
- Why “trust” in turnkey investing is built through people, not promises
How talent density turns into investor returns over time

If you want a better way to judge an investing opportunity than just “the deal,” start here.
