The recent boom and subsequent bust of the housing market has left many Americans skeptical of investing in real estate. While it is true that we may be on the upswing, potential sellers and buyers are still treading lightly. Yet, things are not as bad as they seem. Money can be made in real estate and Jason Hartman wants to show you how. Jason Hartman is a self-starter. While attending college he began investing and brokering in real estate. He would go on to found three companies: Platinum Properties Investor Network (PPIN), The Hartman Media Company, and The Jason Hartman Foundation. He and his colleagues help fellow investors through podcasts, software, and speaking engagements. Hartman encourages others to financial independence and literacy in order to turn the tide of our current financial crisis. Jason wants to make it known that the so-called “housing market” is actually made up of several minor, specific markets – some of which are currently very healthy. Through PPIN the difficult work of scouring the country in search of potential investment properties has been done. Hartman’s group works as a researcher and aggregator in major cities in eleven different states, such as Texas, Florida, and both the Carolinas. These are cities specifically chosen for their real estate investment potential. From there, Hartman educates investors on how to make money through income properties. The key term here is returns. Hartman’s philosophy centers on the idea of choosing real estate in markets where the prospective return on the investment is maximized. Buyers use low interest, fixed-rate loans to purchase properties in areas where the market is about to blow up. For instance, Atlanta is the home of several Fortune 500 companies, one of the fastest growing and most diverse cities in the U.S., and is projected by the U.S. Census Bureau to steadily grow through 2030. By investing now in the right Atlanta Metro properties, Jason Hartman is sure that investors will see quick, large returns. It is no secret that investing in real estate can be highly risky. However, there are locations and strategies to greatly diminish that risk. Jason Hartman has earned millions of dollars in the real estate business through such means. He wants to share his methods with you and help you on your way to a life of financial independence offering all of us the opportunity for a higher standard of living.
