About us


Full-time Agent & investor focusing in flips, long term rental and off market properties. Whether you're local or out-of-state, my team and I will help you identify deals that will provide monthly cash-flow, build equity, and start your investment journey the smart way. 

I work with experienced and newer local and out-of-state investors looking to House hack, purchase flips and long term rentals in Central Texas & Milwaukee, WI. My ideal clients are pre-approved (or cash-ready), have defined and realistic investment goals, coachable and willing to listen to advice and are ready to act when the numbers make sense. I can help connect you with trusted lenders, contractors, and property managers in the area to help build out your team to ensure success in your real estate journey.

A little about me...

I got my start in real estate as a scattered-site property manager in Milwaukee, WI, overseeing a portfolio of 450 rentals—from single-family homes to 16-unit buildings. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how to underwrite and operate long-term rental properties, which I now use to help investors make smarter, more informed decisions for myself and my clients.

During that time, I also purchased a duplex which I did a successful value add house-hack over a span of 4 years which launched my personal investing journey. I also run and operate two flipping businesses, in TX and in WI, which has given me hands-on experience with rehabs, contractor management, cost control and most importantly underwriting deals that actually make money which is knowledge that I bring to every client's deal.

Since then, I’ve helped numerous clients grow their rental portfolios, buy and sell flips, have successful BRRRR deals and even help people find their forever homes. 

I’ve also appeared on two episodes of The American Dream TV—a nationally televised show that’s aired on HGTV and the Travel Channel—where I had the opportunity to showcase local businesses, communities, and investment properties. Check out the youtube links on my profile for the episodes!

I currently live in Austin TX but I still operate in Milwaukee, WI, through a trusted partner, Drew Lied—an experienced investor and agent who helps clients build portfolios in that market. Together, we assist both local and out-of-state investors.

I'm always open to connecting and talking real estate!

My wife and I were searching for an investor-friendly realtor to help us purchase our first rental property near Austin, and James was outstanding from start to finish. He quickly understood our goals, helped refine them, and consistently identified properties that matched our criteria. As first-time rental buyers, we were very selective, and James was incredibly patient — guiding us through multiple offers, inspections, and adjustments without ever rushing us. With our limited availability, he went above and beyond by providing video walkthroughs, rental and purchase comps, cash-flow analyses, and thoughtful pricing strategies. Thanks to James, we found the perfect property, and he's even helping us get it listed for rent after closing. We highly recommend James to anyone buying real estate in the Austin area, especially investors!

James came highly recommended to me and he was instrumental in helping me successfully close on my first property. He is highly personable and knowledgable and I am so glad I ended up working with him (and hope to continue doing so in some shape or manner in the future!).

Our company, OS Investment team LLC, has worked with James on a number of deals in the past year. From our experience he is an energetic, cooperative, thorough and user-friendly agent. We did most of the work remotely, overseas and it worked great due to the fact that James is reliable and works around the clock. We had the privilege of meeting him in person several months ago and he is also a charming and interesting person in his own right. We have recommended him to our colleagues and they too are using his services with great satisfaction. Shay Shemesh and Ohad Choibotaru, OS Investment Team LLC.

James Konvalinka is truly exceptional. We met him through bigger pockets as one of the agents focused on investment properties. He’s always available to talk or do home tours with detailed video. He’s never pushy and he has a wealth of knowledge and contacts that have been greatly useful to us. He has made the process of buying our first property seemless and pain free, we feel we are ready for another sooner rather than later. James K is simply the BEST!!!!

James was our agent last year when we purchased our house and he was phenomenal! There was a stretch of weeks that I talked with him daily it felt like, with how crazy the market was (or still is). Every time I found a listing I was interested in, he was setting up immediate showing and doing everything he could to get us that house. He also found properties for us that we didn’t even see. It took us 5 offers to get our house and several tours, but James helped us keep our heads up keep pushing even when it was very discouraging. Amazing guy and amazing agent. 11/10 would recommend.
