John Theodore "Jack" Reed[1][2] (born July 5, 1946)[3][4][5] is an American businessman, author, and former real estate investor.
Reed, who claims many years of experience in property management,[6] considers real estate investment a hands-on business.
[6][9][10] The most popular feature[8] on John Reed's website is his real estate "guru" rating,[6][11] with his opinions of the legitimacy of their claims.
[16] Whitney sued Reed for three years, later withdrawing some of the suits and settling another on confidential terms.
He was commissioned as a United States Army officer, served in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970 and left active duty in 1972 as a first lieutenant.
