We often get asked what TGS stands for, as it is not any obvious abbreviation to our names, etc. TGS stands for The Good Stuff and is what we had engraved in our wedding rings in 2002, always vowing to remain focused on what is important in life, the good stuff.
When we started our real estate career in 2016, we purchased a vacation rental in Sarasota, Florida and named our company TGS Siesta Properties, knowing this would definitely be a part of our good stuff. We’ve now expanded the brand to include TGS Investment Group, our holding company for multifamily investments.
Justin holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Finance, with a minor in Business Analysis from the University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. He has 15+ years' experience with various roles in corporate Accounting and Finance, with the last role being a Sr. Consultant at TPG Inc. He started buying real estate like a lot of other people did, after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki. This book, combined with Tom Wheelwright's Tax-Free Wealth led Justin & Maggie to purchase a house in 2016 that would give a business reason to travel from Texas to the white sands of Sarasota, FL. In 2018, while looking for ways to scale the real estate portfolio, Justin met the Apartment King, Brad Sumrok, in Dallas and enrolled in Brad's mentorship group in 2019. This was the start of their multifamily real estate journey. Cheers to the Good Stuff!!
Maggie holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Interior Design from Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. She has 20+ years' experience in the Furniture Industry, both in Residential and Contract Furniture. Throughout her corporate career, she has managed many multimillion-dollar projects from groundbreaking to grand opening and led successful design teams to exceed goals. Maggie stepped out of her corporate role in 2021 to focus on real estate and building a life by design. She now operates TGS Commercial Interiors where she independently contracts commercial design projects, allowing her to remain flexible for multifamily real estate and all of life’s Good Stuff.

-Justin & Maggie Bach
Since 2005, Brad has personally helped his students purchase over 3.5 billion dollars in apartment complexes, involving thousands of investors who have taken his training. Many of Brad’s students began with zero previous investing experience and, within a few short years, hundreds of students have retired and/or increased their net worth by over $1 MILLION. Even more are earning double-digit average annualized returns!
Brad’s first investment EVER was in 2002. He started with a 32-unit apartment complex and by 2005 he retired from his six-figure income job. Over the years, Brad has owned over 7,500 units in 11 US Markets. He and his wife Jen earn 7-figures annually from their investments and have in turn significantly reduced their taxes.
Brad and Jen love to spend time with friends and family and love traveling internationally. They are also passionate about charity and along with their students have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to various charities and have a goal to contribute over $1 MILLION in charity.
Their mission is to help as many people as possible achieve financial freedom by investing in apartments and following Brad’s 20+ year proven process. Brad wants you to be able to enjoy the same quality of life that he and Jen are so fortunate to have.
