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.

He established the Jason Hartman Foundation, in 2005, with the goal of providing financial literacy education to young adults.
