Jason is a leading energy entrepreneur and a pioneer in energy cost reduction for commercial property owners. He co-founded MD Energy Advisors after identifying the need for an energy company that could help the real estate community reduce energy spend to maximize profitability. In 2010, Jason also co-founded PointClickSwitch, a proprietary online platform powered by MD Energy Advisors that helps residential customers in deregulated energy markets save on utility costs through comparison shopping. Today, much of his focus is on the financial solution focus of MD Energy Advisors and Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) Financing.    In our conversation with Jason we talked about how commercial real estate owners can reduce operating expenses and increase NOI, brokering energy, and everything about C-PACE financing.   Announcement: Click here to join me and other top real estate investors for the Midwest Real Estate Networking Summit! - Use Promo Code: PODCAST   C-PACE Financing 00:00 Jason’s background 05:24 Reducing operating expenses and increasing NOI for commercial real estate owners; 08:32 Brokering energy; 10:41 Competitively buying energy ~ Budget certainty; 12:41 Traditional energy VS.
