My name is Steve Jackson, President of Action Jackson Buys Houses and Founder/CEO of Steve Jackson & Associates. Most call me “Action Jackson”. Why? Because, I make things happen sooner than later! And more importantly, I make things happen for my clients.

These common challenges above can happen to anyone! But this doesn’t have to happen for you anymore. Once you learn the “exclusive” principles, practices, & strategies you can use to quickly overcome what is standing in your way.

So Register for the Webinar below and join the fun while I share these tactics that the world’s best and most successful entrepreneurs use to get out of the “rat race and on the fast track” of life. 

You don’t have to repeat the same mistakes, you don’t have to take twenty seminars to figure out what works for you, you don’t have to do the hard work that I did. I will show you a systematic, money making machine that you can rev up and set loose. Come join me, Action Jackson on the BIGO!

Here’s a little of what you’ll learn:

• How to systematize your business to earn 7-figures & beyond!

• Anyone who has a desire to learn & apply simple ideas to STOP “wearing all the hats” and get YOUR LIFE BACK (Find your “who” not “how”)

It has been a minute (18 years) since I have been on the public stage. I still recall, a well known professional speaker referred to me as, “The Steak and Potato and not the Sizzle”! I will admit, I harbored a resentment. Today, because of a life changing spiritual retreat experience, I have learned to surrender, lean into it and that being VULNERABLE IS A STRENGTH TO BE EMBRACED! Especially, if I authentically want to connect with you, make an impact and help you achieve YOUR SUCCESS!

My higher power, created me with the DNA of an Engineer, a Teacher, a Trusted Advisor. My philosophy is simple, “Don’t accept your life. Lead your Life”. My mission is to learn, apply, and teach “what works” to help the person, “I” use to be… With that said, we offer specialized training and coaching you wish you had back then to grow your business or fulfill your calling, easier, faster, cheaper and without so much struggle.

If ALL you did, was learn one tip, secret, or strategy would it be worth it? If you answered ‘Yes’, then you owe it to yourself to join us on the Webinar on Monday, July 15th at 7PM on the Beginning Investors Group Online!  Don’t Miss Out! Register below to attend today!

About James Wang

Mr. Wang is a veteran technology executive and real estate industry visionary, holding various AI patents (including USPTO Patent #11,093,992 Smart Matching for real estate transactions), had successfully managed $10M+ projects for AT&T, Intel, etc., and successfully delivered cutting-edge new software systems for AMI/Intel/Lenovo/Dell, etc., as well as built new tech plants for Lockheed & Martin.

James started investing in real estate with his first few investment properties purchase around 2008, only after overcoming much pain and suffering caused by industry’s disorganized real estate transaction process. Realtor’s lack of information and technology was abundantly apparent, often overlooked to satisfy an agenda focused solely on closing quickly by realtor for their commission. Taking tours and pushing the wrong homes blatantly disregarded buyer’s needs or preferences but resulted in endless hours of waste.

After a few disappointing transactions James figured out that technology should play a key role to greatly help buyers and investors quickly reach an optimal outcome. He started putting together an intelligent algorithm to curate all relevant industry data that helps buyers, investors and realtors efficiently match buyers’ interests with the right properties.

The new system helps buyers streamline the entire home buying process with cutting edge AI innovation and workflow, auto generating images with advance visualization of rehab property after different styles of renovation, auto generating appealing property-for-sell listing per industry standards after it’s ready to sell, matching buyer to the right property, providing answers and advice to investors for optimal deal etc. Users experience better results with more transparency in less time as well, which is a win-win outcome that will drive much needed industry growth.

“Are you tired of traditional methods of buying properties that limit your options? If so, then you need to attend the “Meeting Before the Meeting” on April 8th. I will be discussing creative techniques that can help you buy properties without the constraints of conventional financing. Techniques such as subject to, wrap around mortgages, and lease options can give you a competitive edge in today’s market.

In today’s economy, interest rates are rising, and the cost of living is increasing. This has created a lot of distressed sellers who need help getting out from under their mortgage. By learning creative techniques, you can help these sellers while also expanding your own investment options. Being able to offer creative financing solutions can set you apart from other buyers in the market.

The subject to technique allows you to take over the seller’s mortgage payments without having to qualify for a new loan. This can be a win-win situation for both you and the seller. The seller is able to get out from under their mortgage, and you are able to acquire a property without having to come up with a large down payment.

Wrap around mortgages allow you to assume the seller’s existing mortgage while also creating a new mortgage to cover the difference between the existing mortgage and the purchase price of the property. This technique can help you acquire properties that you may not have been able to with traditional financing.

Lease options allow you to lease a property for a set period of time with the option to buy it at the end of the lease. This technique can be beneficial for both you and the seller. The seller is able to continue receiving income from the property while you are able to acquire the property without having to come up with a large down payment.

By attending my meeting on April 8th, you will learn how to use these techniques to your advantage. You will also learn about other creative financing solutions that can help you expand your investment portfolio. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to gain an edge in today’s market. Register Now to attend on April 8th!”
