He took his very first STR cabin from a projected revenue of $85k to an actual of $150k and converted a LTR generating $17k to a STR generating $70k.

How To Recession-Proof Your Business and Your Credit
Over 30 years ago, Merrill Chandler—a personal and business credit pioneer and co-founder of Lexington Credit Repair Law Firm—became dissatisfied with the ineffective results of credit repair. He discovered an insider secret that getting approved for personal or business credit did not rely on a credit score, but in fact, was the result of having “fundable” borrower behaviors. With the right strategies, a borrower could “optimize” their financial behaviors to become highly fundable increasing the frequency and amount of their credit approvals. He co-founded Get Fundable! to help real estate and business entrepreneurs nationwide to finally grow their businesses the way they want resulting in his students and clients becoming more FUNDABLE and getting over $250 MILLION IN FUNDINGS!

Jasons Complete Solution for Real Estate Investors™ is a comprehensive system providing real estate investors with education research resources and technology to deal with all areas of their income property investment needs.
The United States offers nearly 400 distinct and diverse markets while most media pundits characterize the “housing market” as if it were a single entity. We realize they do this to cram a cogent comment into a simple sound bite. Real estate cannot be described that simply. Its just not accurate. There is NO such thing as a United States real estate market. However there IS an Atlanta Georgia or a Dallas Texas real estate market. To that end we scour the entire country with an “Area Agnostic™” approach and select the most suitable and sensible markets to recommend to our investors so they don't waste countless hours doing it themselves."
