John Schaub

John Schaub has prospered during six recessions, four tax law changes and

interest rates ranging from 3-16% in his 50 years as a real estate investor. His

2023 best selling book Building Wealth One House at a Time, 3rd edition, has

helped more than 100,000 real estate enthusiasts on their way to successful

investing.

John recommends buying better, well-located houses rather than cheaper

houses and other management-intensive properties. Better houses are more

profitable and far less trouble. He advocates paying off debt, owning properties

free and clear, and renting only to long term, high quality tenants. 

John buys, sells and manages his own properties, and enjoys providing quality

housing at fair prices for working families in his community.

John also invests his time helping those who cannot afford to buy a home

through conventional sources through his work with Habitat for Humanity and the

Fuller Center for Housing. John served for more than 20 years on the board of

Sarasota Habitat, 7 years on Habitat’s International Board and is the past chair of

the  board of the Fuller Center for Housing. 

John, a Florida native, is a proud graduate of the University of Florida, where he

earned his B.S. from the College of Business Administration. He is an

accomplished boat captain, fisherman, skier and an instrument-rated pilot. John

loves to travel, especially with his wife Valerie, their children and grandchildren.
