Transforming Communities, One Property At A Time

The Odis James Journey


Odis D. James III entered the world of real estate in 2002 with the guidance of his father and his own ambitious spirit. They quickly established their first real estate and mortgage brokerage office in San Jose, CA the following year, but unfortunately, the 2008 housing crisis caused them to close their brokerage in 2010. Odis then turned his focus to Inside the Truth Ministries, a nonprofit organization spreading love through Jesus Christ's teachings, which he self-funded for three years before moving on to personal development.


In 2018, Odis established a mentorship program under his private company, 4 Data Points Academy, using his extensive knowledge of residential and multifamily real estate. He began buying real estate, creating opportunities for potential buyers facing obstacles to homeownership, and sharing his investment strategies on social media and various websites. Odis has overseen over $600 million in commercial assets in his multifamily sector career and holds real estate brokerage licenses in California and Georgia, as well as an insurance license. He has also demonstrated his entrepreneurial skills by turning a modest investment of $585 into a successful company generating over seven figures in revenue.


Odis's primary focus is uplifting the economic position of African Americans through education, strategic investing, and relationship-building. He invests in pre-gentrified neighborhoods of color to promote ownership, commerce, and prosperity. Odis now invests in various asset classes across the country and generously shares his success strategies to support others navigating challenging times in their businesses. His relentless determination and extensive expertise make him a prominent figure in the real estate industry and an expert in multiple areas of the real estate investing space.

He shares his knowledge with those willing to take action on their goals for success and starts each conversation by asking, “What’s your why?”


Odis is an expert in single-family flips and consistently looks for opportunities in pre-gentrified neighborhoods of color. In addition, he holds a real estate investing educational program where he shares his strategies for overcoming obstacles to homeownership. With 4 Data Points Academy, Odis provides mentorship in financial literacy, real estate investing, and business development.


Odis’s vision is to advance the economic position of African Americans through education, strategic investing, and relationship-building. He believes that each person has the power to create their destiny and encourages others never to stop learning.


Whether through his books, mentorship programs, or community outreach initiatives, Odis is committed to helping others build the life they desire and achieve financial freedom. He hopes that each person reading his story can find inspiration in their journey.

Gain the Knowledge


According to a 2021 report, the global real estate investment market was estimated at $11444.7 billion and is expected to reach an astounding $30575.5 billion in 10 years, seeing exponential growth with a projected annual CAGR of 10.7%. Learning about investment education and opportunities can help investors maximize their returns, especially regarding real estate investments.


While real estate portfolio strategies can help investors manage their portfolios, multifamily acquisitions and development can help them gain a more significant return. The right mentorship and coaching can also be invaluable for investors seeking better insights into the real estate market.
