You’ll never do what you don’t believe you can do. That’s what today’s guest Jennings Smith, believed and now he is the Principal of Live Oak Investments. Jennings has been a real estate investor since 2013 and brings over fifteen years of residential and commercial construction experience to his team. He built his first company at just nineteen years old while attending Clemson University. His years of project management experience has helped him build a substantial multifamily real estate portfolio through stabilizing value-add acquisitions.
I can’t wait to get started and learn how Jennings’ risk-taking and teamwork mindset helped him raise capital and propelled him into his current and growing success.

“You’re never going to do something you don’t believe you can do.” - Jennings Smith
“I love to see people successful, and winning, and making it happen, but the fact is 90-95% of people don’t… they’re looking for a huge opportunity to come across their desk, and it will not come. So, the best way to get in this game is to just start!” - Jennings Smith
