Jason Patterson
Jason , aka the “Short Lease King,” owns a property training company and has mastered the short-lease property investment strategy.
His 25-year property journey includes transforming overlooked short-lease flats into profitable units by extending leases, refurbishing properties, and, in some cases, reconfiguring layouts to add an additional bedroom. He also purchases freeholds on occasions.
Jason’s journey began at Sainsbury’s, stacking bread—but he saw beyond the shelves. Every shift, he saved toward his dream of owning property. That hard work paid off, and he went on to purchase five flats while still working at Sainsbury’s.
