Known as the “Texas lease options guy,” John Jackson is the go-to guy for learning how to do lease options in Texas. To his credit, he has done over 600 lease option in Texas since 2003. He attributes his career and success in the business was all because of his daughter.

Before embarking in the real estate business, John worked in the stock market, and he hated it. He only found the inspiration to quit when his then pregnant wife told him she was with child. He didn’t like the idea of paying someone to raise his daughter for him, so he quit, day traded at the comforts of his home, and raised his daughter. He eventually became interested in real estate initially as a means of alternative investing, but he has made an empire from it since.

Today, John discusses why lease options are a great niche for financial success, why he didn’t go with wholesaling, and why he insists on deleting URLs from real estate forums.

 

“Wholesaling is great, but you need to have some avenue to utilize your leads that you're throwing away and that's where lease options come in.” – John Jackson
