After 25 years in business and becoming the country’s leading investor, developer, and speaker in creative commercial real estate, most people would think that J. Scott Scheel is ready to slow down and enjoy the fruits of his labor. On the contrary, the Wall Street Journal’s two-time Congressional Businessman of the Year recipient is just getting started with a new phase in his career: he is on a mission to empower new investors and developers by equipping them for success in the dynamic commercial real estate industry.
“I discovered quickly that I could add tremendous value. In addition to generating passive income streams for myself and generations to follow, and accumulating personal wealth, I was transforming communities. I enhanced the quality of life for people in multi-family dwellings. I improved and constructed buildings that became businesses for new employment, creating jobs and generating tax revenues for local governments,” he says.
At present, Scheel owns and manages over six million square feet of commercial real estate in different parts of the United States. Additionally, he has 17 years of experience in teaching and training aspiring investors and developers to become successful in the highly competitive industry. By combining the basic foundational principles of investing and real estate development with his trainees’ determination, intelligence, and initiative, he is successfully developing the next generation of successful investors and developers.
Despite his personal success in his family life and business, Scheel remains passionate about empowering other people to achieve the same success in their own lives. His compassion for others is admirable, especially in the way he humbly acknowledges his mentors when others recognize his accomplishments. For Scheel, teaching people effective strategies to take their investments and real estate development business to the next level brings him great joy: a rare realization for many successful individuals today.
“I then started teaching my strategies, and this not only allowed my students to generate their own wealth, but it exponentially compounded the number of communities and lives that we could transform across the country and around the world,” Scheel shares.
Aside from commercial real estate investment, development, and management, Scheel continues ventures in other types of lucrative business that contribute to his overall success. He is involved in investment training and consulting, publishing, commercial finance, energy resources and transportation, medical research and development, feature-length motion picture production, internet marketing, and education services, among others.
Inspired by the love and support of his wife and six children, Scheel is determined to empower other investors and developers to be the best versions of themselves and find success regardless of their sex, age, faith, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. As someone who comes from a diverse set of racial roots, he has effectively found a way to combine the best practices of each culture to take him where he is now. By devising a fail-proof program and employing a team of driven professionals who are always ready to train, Scheel is establishing a legacy of resources for future investors and developers.
