In this clip, Rob Rowsell talks about his former rehab roommate Jake Garcia’s real estate journey. Like Rob, Jake is also a former drug addict. Years after achieving sobriety, Jake reached out to Rob for advice, in order to advance his new career. Today, Jake and Nicki own over 60 rental homes in the state of Arizona. They are a true real estate success story.
Real Estate Success StoryWhen Rob Rowsell first befriended Jake Garcia, they were both recovering drug addicts. They roomed together on their road to wellness. As Rob documented in his book Addicted To Life, he was done with life on the streets, in an endless cycle of addiction to heroin and crack cocaine. Once each of these friends overcame their vices, they went their separate ways, but kept in touch. Rob’s fortunes grew as he advanced in the auto repair ownership field. Later, he sold his automotive shop businesses in order to concentrate full time on real estate. Jake took notice, and phoned his old roommate for tips on getting into property investing himself.
With Rob’s guidance, Jake and his wife Nicki dove into the real estate field. Before too long, the Garcias had become a real estate success story, investing in dozens of rental homes, 60 of which are in Arizona. To this day, Jake and Rob are good friends, and Jake attends our ATL Inner Circle Community meetings. These two share vast property investment knowledge with other ATL members every month.

Want to learn the secrets to work-life balance? Rob and his callers discuss their struggles to balance their time between work, family, and health. It’s challenging to spread your time properly when you’re building a growing business. However, if you don’t learn to prioritize family and health, then you will suffer in the long run.
Work Life Balance – Callers Weigh InOur friend Hitomi starts off the discussion relaying her experience with work life balance stress. Maintaining her personal growth has been a challenge as she grows her business. Her success has come at a cost to her health and relationships with family and friends. Therefore, she has taken action intentionally the past five years. She advises all of the other callers to prioritize their own health.
Rob responds, admitting that while his real estate business was growing, he was living out of balance himself. Working extra hours resulted in weight gain from neglecting nutrition and exercise. He straightened his priorities before the damage was irreparable, but it cost him in his own personal relationships.
Right or wrong, building a business from the ground up requires sacrifices, and the damage is almost unavoidable. This is because most business owners go into their endeavors without knowing how much work it will take to succeed. Once you realize what your new lifestyle entails, you scramble to juggle every aspect involved. Rob soon realized the importance of hiring staff to perform certain tasks so he could concentrate on what only he could do.
Nick concurred with these statements. He is starting his second business, and learning from the challenges of his first. Spending time with his wife and young daughter are his top priorities. Rob has seen his dedication firsthand.
