Jim Sheils is an author, speaker, and international investor. He is also the co-founder and owner of Rincon & Titus Solutions, L.L.C. a private real estate holding company that invests in single family homes in Jacksonville, Florida.
When starting out in Bakersfield, CA in 1999 he had no money and $2,000 in credit card debt. Along with Brian Scrone, his business partner and best friend since the age of 3, they built up a multi-million dollar portfolio of over 100 single-family homes and were given an award of recognition by the Mayor’s Office in appreciation of their highly received rent-to-own program. Ignoring the media and listening to the fundamentals, they sold off their portfolio, in Bakersfield, at the height of the market in the summer of 2005 and relocated to Jacksonville, Florida. They continue to invest in single family homes there today. To date, they have purchased over 300 investment properties in their career.
Jim has a passion for education and has spoken at events all over the world. Audiences are always captured by his grass roots style of teaching that is enjoyable and easy to understand. Jim’s two famous sayings are “Education is useless if it’s too confusing to apply” and “The media is always late to the party whether it’s good news or bad news.”
Jim is an avid surfer and travels the world with his “Board Group” which is a team of international businessmen and investors that enjoy networking and surfing together. He is scheduled to release a book in the Spring of 2009 based on the business and life lessons that he learned on these surf trips.
Jim lives in St. Augustine, Florida with his boxer, Dibo.
