Jim Rutkowski

I'm the founder of The Areté Group, where we focus on using public records and life-event data to help real estate professionals identify opportunities before they become obvious to the broader market. My work has given me a particular interest in probate, inherited property, absentee ownership, pre-foreclosure, divorce, and other circumstances where a change in someone's life can eventually lead to a real estate decision. I'm here to share what I've learned about finding and interpreting these signals, learn from other BiggerPockets members, and contribute to conversations about off-market opportunities and better real estate prospecting.
