Get to know us

I am Jacob St. Martin, founder of St. Martin Real Estate.

I attended the University of Virginia for my undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering, then stayed for a master's in material science engineering! You might be thinking, how did you end up in real estate?

During the later half of my 4th year of my undergraduate degree I became fascinated with the concepts of real estate investing. I went all in and began studying real estate with all of my free time. This lead to me purchasing my first investment property a few months later. This was a life changing decision for me and sparked a passion for real estate investing.

Our mission

There are three critical parts to our mission:

  1. Wealth building. Our primary goal is to partner with investors to help them grow their wealth through the power of real estate investing.

  2. Education. We believe that real estate investing is hard but not complicated. It is our goal to make investing in real estate accessible and to empower others through real estate education.

  3. Philanthropy. Money is just a tool, and we believe in using that tool to better the world around us. We are committed to using our money, property, and knowledge to give back to the communities we are a part of.

Our vision

Driven by our mission, our vision includes:

  1. Building a $100 million portfolio over the coming decades. We plan to accomplish this by expanding our short term rental portfolio, doing BRRRRs whenever possible, and using flips to generate capital for those purchases.

  2. Making educational content freely available across YouTube and other platforms, personalized real estate consulting, and more!

  3. Partnering with local non-profits and other organizations to use our properties and resources for good.
