Jason Stern

Hello BP Nation! I'm Jason Stern from Boca Raton, FL. Husband, and a career Firefighter/Paramedic. I love every aspect of my career. One of the biggest benefits it gives me is a lot of time off to research, analyze, and get involved in my second passion, real estate! I have always wanted to get involved on the investment side and be able to create a passive income. With the risks associated with my career (Injury, Cancer, PTSD, Physically demanding), my biggest fear is not having a backup plan. Right now my short-term goals are to free up any month-to-month unnecessary expenses so that I can free up cash flow to invest. I want to learn as much as possible and do things the right way. As a firefighter, our line of work tends to attract individuals who have integrity, trust, willingness to learn, work under highly stressful situations, and ultimately help one another. That is my goal currently with BP Nation, is to meet the same kind of individual who can help me as I help the communities I serve. I am not looking to get rich quickly with loads of risk but would like to have a long-term goal of creating cash flow through SFR's multifamily, and eventually Apt. building ownership that would essentially replace my income. I am willing to explore other areas of real estate such as wholesaling and flipping to develop faster vehicles to generate cash to purchase properties. Before getting into the fire service, I did have a short span (2-3 years) in the finance/mortgage industry prior to economic fallout and got back into the industry in 2017 and have since been originating loans while also working in the fire service. I am currently licensed in Florida and about to finish my licensing for CO, TX, AZ, CA, WA, & TN. I am also in the processor obtaining my real estate license here in Florida. Right now for 2022, my plan is to develop relationships with people locally and nationally within the BP nation to understand the business and know what to look for in investments but mainly how to take those very first steps in investing. Get into the mortgage and real estate market to earn income on the side to 100% put back into investing. My goal is in 1 to 1.5 years or less to own my first multifamily property. I am in the process of securing a HELOC for about 400k and hopefully, that sparks a fire to get the wheels in motion. Please feel free to respond with contact info if you'd like and I will keep in contact with everyone and hopefully one day I can be the guy giving the advice and mentoring.
