Justin Ford

Founder & CEO at Pax Properties

Speaker

Justin Ford is the principal and sole owner of Pax Properties. Pax has owned and operated over 45 properties in four states over the last 23 years. Through boom, bust, and a pandemic, Pax has owned, renovated and operated over $160 million of real estate, including over 1,500 residential and hospitality units, retail properties and land. In that time, Pax has consistently delivered superior returns while never being late on a single mortgage payment or failing to deliver a positive return for investors. Mr. Ford attribute’s this unique track record to his company’s long-term outlook and its focus on cash flow, operations and conservative financing.

Prior to starting his real estate business, Mr. Ford spent 17 years as a financial editor and publisher and helped grow Agora, Inc. into one of the world’s largest publishers of financial newsletters. In that capacity, he has visited heads of central banks, finance ministries, stock exchanges, and Fortune 500 companies—from Beijing to Hong Kong, Prague, Paris, London, New York, Sao Paolo and Buenos Aires.

Mr. Ford is the author of the books, Seeds of Wealth, and Secret Value & Growth Cities, and a contributor to a number of others. He has written hundreds of investment articles and is the creator of “Justin Ford’s CAP Strategy: Bubble-proof Real Estate Investing for Lifelong Income.” Through his writings and coaching, Mr. Ford has helped others benefit from a business-focused approach to real estate.
