All in the Family


Jesse has been intentional about passing on his knowledge to the next generation, starting with his kids. He began teaching them the flipping business at a young age and, by their early teens, focused on helping them invest in apartment complexes and build wealth. From having them attend real estate masterminds to hands-on property training, the dedication to their growth and entrepreneurial spirit caught the attention of Warner Bros, leading to the upcoming to be on the TV series, “Kids Who Flip”  where teenagers fix & flip homes, learning the ins and outs of the real estate industry. With guidance from industry experts, they successfully complete projects from locating properties, to project management & construction, to helping sell it to new home owners.


Jesse & his wife, Lilian are some of the experts the kids lean on. With extensive experience in all facets of Real Estate investing, spanning over 20 years, they have purchased and sold close to 1,000+ properties with a total market value in excess of $500 Million. AJX has accumulated an impressive 1,000+ doors rental portfolio made up of single family and several large multifamily properties. The Trujillo family's focus is to guide investors toward diversified real estate investment opportunities, backed by over 20 years of real estate experience.

 

The AJX family brings value and reliability to every transaction, with their decades of knowledge in value add, funding, structuring deals, and project management. Their success story is built upon a dedication to establishing great relationships and following through on commitments. Their ability to deliver results with integrity and transparency has made them a valued partner to customers and investors throughout the country, and now you can have a front row seat to watch the Trujillo kids join in on the family business.
