About Jesse Trujillo

Jesse is an accomplished investor, motivational speaker, and the CEO of AJX Companies. He’s the driving force behind an 8-figure real estate empire that has flipped over 1,000 properties with a total market value exceeding $500 million and has built a rental portfolio of over 1,100 doors, valued over $100 million in assets under management. 

But Jesse's story is more than just numbers; it's a testament to resilience and determination. From facing bankruptcy and wrongful imprisonment to achieving financial success within just five years, Jesse’s journey is a powerful example of how perseverance can turn adversity into triumph. 

Jesse’s commitment to investing goes beyond his own achievements. He has been intentional about passing on his knowledge to the next generation, starting with his own 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 attending real estate masterminds to hands-on property training, his dedication to their growth and entrepreneurial spirit caught the attention of Warner Bros, leading to the upcoming series, Kids Who Flip
