What is Jake and Gino?

Mission Statement

To improve the lives of others by creating communities that allow people to become the best version of themselves.

Learn From True Owner Operators Who are Actually in the Business.

What started out as a conversation between friends has exploded into a thriving real estate investment business that continues to grow in size and profitability.

Jake Stenziano and Gino Barbaro are both experts in multifamily real estate investing and have achieved, in just a few years, the sort of financial freedom they always wanted but weren’t sure was possible.

And while a certain amount of timing, coincidence, and luck brought them together, this website will be your partner, bringing that same luck, and years of experience, right to you every step of the way.

Well… if a pizza guy and drug rep can do it, we know you can too! Unlike many Investing Consultants and so-called Business Coaches, Jake and Gino have done the work with the assets to back their success strategies while consistently reaching their goals. They are passionate about sharing their journey with you.

Why Listen To Jake & Gino?

Multifaceted multifamily is a term that we created to describe the complimentary streams of revenue that we have established in our multifamily business. The key is that all of the revenue streams are complimentary, and they develop a symbiotic relationship amongst the businesses and strengthen each business. These streams of income support and feed each other based on this harmonious relationship. The first stream of revenue was an investment property, followed by the management company. As we continued to expand our portfolio, we decided to create the education platform Jake & Gino. Once we decided to syndicate properties, we launched Our Property Management Company. Our charitable arm was developed as the philanthropic stream on the PM family of companies.
