Lease Options | What You Need To Know
Episode 106:
John Jackson was a self-taught day trader and wanted to get involved in real estate but found that, like the stock market, there are many ways to play the game. He did quite a bit of research and found out that out of all of the strategies in real estate, lease options seemed to be a perfect fit for him, as he didn’t need any money or have to use his credit. And he could do them with essentially no risk. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much information out there, so he had to spend quite a bit of time to learn just the basics.
John started Leasing to Buy in 2003 and has since lease optioned over 600 houses. He now teaches lease options classes across the nation and is especially known as the ONLY person that teaches lease options in Texas.
