Welcome to The W2 Capitalist! I’m Jay Helms, and I’ve built this community for busy, married parents who are hustling their way through real estate investing. If you’ve already purchased at least one rental property and are ready to expand your portfolio while spending more quality time with your spouse and kids, you’re in the right place.
Why trust me?
I worked in corporate America from 2001 until 2020 when I was laid off due to COVID-19. My real estate journey began in 2014, and by the time I was laid off, my wife and I had built a real estate portfolio of 328 units, which we still own today. This portfolio includes single-family homes, small multi-family units, and apartment syndications. Since starting out, we’ve increased our net worth by 10x and boosted our annual income by 60%.
On May 1, 2020, at the age of 41, I received my pink slip. Despite the initial worry, I was able to walk away from a six-figure corporate income, thanks to our real estate investments. My wife, who’s also the best stay-at-home mom on the planet, helped me realize that we had built something sustainable.
Why the BRRRR Method is Key for Busy Parents
The BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) is perfect for parents juggling busy schedules. It allows you to build long-term wealth by steadily growing your rental portfolio without having to save up for every new property purchase. With a system like BRRRR, you can create passive income streams while still being present for your family.

I’m Jay Helms, and after spending 19 years climbing the corporate ladder, surviving two acquisitions, and even a corporate bankruptcy, I understand the challenges firsthand.

MY JOURNEY
My Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) for the W2 Capitalist is to help 1 Million people be less dependent on their W2 income so that, they can be more present for their spouse, be more present for their children and not worry about what might happen if they are laid off or fired from that job. There are approximately 150 million workers in the U.S. today. Now, no reference-able site can attest to just how many W2 workers are in this 150 million but they all agree on a range of 10-30% of that numbers have “alternative employment arrangements”. So using very rough math that’s approximately 100 million W2-earners. If I can help just 1% of those folks, that’s a million people. An opportunity to impact 1 million people’s lives and possibly generationally, gets me SUPER JACKED!
My personal BHAG: I want to build 300 years of generational wealth for my family. Talk about being SUPER DUPER JACKED!!! Providing generational wealth for my family, for longer than the U.S. has been a nation…LET’S GET IT!!!!
