The mission of AIPIS is to properly educate real estate specialists and investors in the proven methods of income property investments as a road to building wealth. AIPIS Education Program Jason Hartman, internationally known investment property guru, had a vision. He wanted to share his 25+ years of real estate experience with a wider audience, so that they could benefit from everything he had learned. The idea for the Accredited Income Property Investment Specialist program grew out of Jason's desire to help Realtors, mortgage officers, and financial advisors earn income via assisting their clients to build successful income property portfolios. He also wanted to assist these same professionals with a means to earn the necessary credits to renew their required licenses. The best way to accomplish all of these goals was to offer online courses. Thus, AIPIS was born! Jason Hartman has been involved in several thousand real estate transactions and has owned income properties in 11 states and 17 cities. His company, Platinum Properties Investor Network, Inc. helps people to achieve "The American Dream" of financial freedom via the purchase of income property in prudent markets. The three AIPIS courses that we are offering here, draw upon Jason's very successful and well-received home study course, the Complete Solution for Real Estate Investors™. Jason Hartman is the Founder and CEO of Platinum Properties Investor Network, the Hartman Media Company and the Jason Hartman Foundation. Starting with very little, Jason, while still in college and at the age of 19, embarked on a career in real estate. While he was brokering properties for clients, he was investing in his own portfolio along the way. Through creativity, persistence, and hard work, he soon joined the ranks of the top one percent of Realtors in the U.S. In quick succession, he earned a number of prestigious industry awards, and became a young multi-millionaire. Investors use Jason's podcasts, educational events, referrals, mentoring programs and property tracking software, to assist them with the location and purchase of investment properties in exceptional markets.

Jason also believes that giving back to the community is an important responsibility of successful entrepreneurs. He established the Jason Hartman Foundation, in 2005, with the goal of providing financial literacy education to young adults. The mission is to instill in young people those all-important real world skills, often not taught in school, which are the keys to the financial stability and success of future generations.

    475: Builder Profit Margins Hit 26-Year Lows and Solving the American Housing Crisis
    Sep 18 2026

    Property investors should prioritize seizing growth opportunities and actively avoid the opportunity costs of letting their capital remain idle. Current market conditions feature high mortgage rates and challenging housing affordability, yet human nature dictates that fear of loss remains a powerful motivator for market participation. Due to these economic hurdles, tenant retention has surged significantly as renters remain in place longer rather than attempting to purchase homes. Consequently, real estate investors can capitalize on compressed builder margins and various market incentives by consulting with professionals to optimize their portfolios.

    America is currently facing a severe housing affordability and shortage crisis, largely driven by restrictive government regulations and outdated zoning laws established during the progressive era. David Rand, the founding president and CEO of the Land Liberty Movement, explains that these pervasive barriers—including minimum lot sizes, excessive setback requirements, and mandatory double staircases—severely limit property rights and inflate construction costs. To combat these challenges, organizations like his advocate for state-level policy reforms that dismantle central planning and return decision-making power directly to property owners and developers. By easing these burdensome restrictions and embracing natural market prices, communities can foster innovative housing solutions like high-quality manufactured homes and mixed-use walkable neighborhoods. Ultimately, building a broad ideological consensus and reempowering individuals are essential steps to successfully restoring housing accessibility and the American dream for future generations.

  • 474: The 'Free Lunch Metric' Revisited, Client Case Study - Dave Porter

    474: The 'Free Lunch Metric' Revisited, Client Case Study - Dave Porter
    Aug 18 2026

    Jason welcomes his long-term client David Porter, a retired executive who began investing in residential real estate around 2008. David explains his unique "free lunch metric," which he used to identify stable neighborhoods by ensuring fewer than 50% of local students qualified for government-assisted meals. Throughout the discussion, the pair explores the benefits of buy-and-hold strategies in linear markets like Indianapolis, emphasizing cash flow over speculative appreciation. David shares practical advice on managing property managers, maintaining financial buffers, and the importance of professional oversight for supposedly passive investments. They conclude by highlighting how David's courageous investing during the Great Recession successfully built a reliable income stream for his retirement.

  • 473: The Delisting Dilemma and the $500,000 Equity Trap: Why Homeowners Refuse to Sell with Rick Sharga

    473: The Delisting Dilemma and the $500,000 Equity Trap: Why Homeowners Refuse to Sell with Rick Sharga
    Jul 18 2026

    Rick Sharga, founder of CJ Patrick Company, discusses current housing market conditions and economic trends. Rick explains that despite mortgage rates tripling since the pandemic, the housing market has shown resilience with 49 consecutive months of year-over-year price increases, though sales volume remains down for three years. He noted that while affordability remains a challenge with a $40,000 wage gap for median-income buyers, recent data shows pending sales and mortgage purchase applications running ahead of last year, suggesting pent-up demand may soon drive market recovery. Rick highlighted that inflation concerns stem largely from energy price increases following the Iran conflict, and emphasized that wage growth continues to outpace home price growth, making affordability slightly better. He also discussed how builders currently face a 10-month supply of new homes while existing home inventory remains tight, creating opportunities for investors in both markets.
