James Edward Glasgow Sr. is a businessman with 45 years of experience in business management, both as a corporate executive and a small business owner. He has been a real estate investor for 32 years, investing in residential rental properties, office buildings and commercial properties. He would best be described as a "buy and hold investor," buying and holding properties for long-term appreciation as well as current cash flow. This long-term outlook greatly reduces risk and enhances profits. Mr. Glasgow is a principal in Gem Rental Properties LLC, as well as managing his own portfolio of residential rental properties, real estate notes, and an office building. He is a frequent guest on the "What's It Worth?" radio show on AM550 in San Antonio, Texas.
