About
Jason Patterson
Jason Patterson aka The Short Lease King owes a coaching company and as well as mastering the short lease property investment strategy.
His 20+ year property journey includes a genius move: transforming overlooked short-lease homes into profitable units. From Dubai to North London, Jason proves diverse passions plus smart strategies equal big success.
Jason’s journey started at Sainsburys, stacking bread. But he saw beyond the shelves. Every shift, he saved for his dream, which was to own property. Hard work paid off – he bought 5 properties while still at Sainsburys.
Lesson: Your current job is your launchpad. Save, dream big.
A mentor introduced Jason to BRR: Buy, Refurbish, Refinance. He bought “problem” properties with short leases, fixed them up, and rented them out. Others saw issues, Jason saw opportunities. Now he’s the short lease expert!
Lesson: Find a mentor, see the gold others miss.
His story proves you can start small but dream big, save from any job, learn from mentors, and find gold in overlooked places.
