Schaub, John: - John W. Schaub has survived and prospered as a full-time investor since the early 1970s. During that time, he weathered five major recessions and as many interest rate swings and tax law changes. In 1975, he co-authored (and still teaches) the original nationwide seminar on investing in single-family homes. More than 10,000 students have attended this seminar. He continues to actively acquire and manage real estate investment today, and advises students and readers about opportunities and pitfalls in the markets.
