Robert Leonard (@therobertleonard) talks with Jason Peterson (@feedofffear) about how to start investing with nothing, why real estate has a low barrier to entry, what house hacking is and why it’s one of the most power real estate strategies, how to leverage lines of credit and the equity in your properties to scale, what seller credits are and how to use them, and much, much more! Jason Peterson is a real estate investor from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who served what he calls a “well-deserved 8-year sentence in prison.” He used an FHA loan upon his release from prison to start his portfolio, which he quickly scaled to five rental properties total.
