About Steve Jackson

Real Estate Investor, Speaker, and Creator of VirtualInvestorPLUS

Steve Jackson, the creator of the VirtualInvestorPLUS real estate investment management system, bridges the gap between technology and real estate investment with a 3-part solution proven to dramatically improve investors’ productivity.

Steve was born and raised in Kansas. He studied Construction Science at Kansas State University. However, he did not follow this field. Instead, Steve graduated from Johnson County Community College with an Associates Degree in Computer Programming.

In 1992, Steve began his career as a software developer and consultant for a transportation company in the mid-west. In 1994, his job brought him to the Tampa Bay area as a software consultant for a leading development firm. Throughout his 10-year career in software development, Steve worked with dozens of Fortune 500 companies to develop software and business automation systems for companies spanning multiple vertical markets including healthcare, transportation, weapons management, travel, insurance, and telecommunications. His experience in building systems and directing teams of developers led Steve to launch his own software development and consulting firm, Jackson Business Solutions, Inc., in January 2000.

Although rewarding, life as a software developer brought with it many late nights and weekends in the office as a result of the extremely aggressive deadlines. The long hours, coupled with the “Dotcom Bust,” led Steve and his wife, Carole, to attend their first real estate investment seminar in December 2001. Within his first year, Steve had successfully rehabbed 4 homes while continuing his work as a software developer. After just one year, his part-time job as a real estate investor grew to a point where it required his full attention. So in March 2003, Steve began a full time career in real estate investing and formed “Family Man Buys Houses.”

As Family Man Buys Houses grew and Steve began to implement more and more lead generation activities, the constant phone calls and back office tasks began to consume his time. Steve attended seminars and tried multiple software tools, yet he knew there had to be a more efficient method of managing his real estate investment business. Steve applied his software development and business background to create the VirtualInvestorPLUS solution to manage his business, qualify leads, market properties, and handle all his incoming calls that enabled him to purchase 50 houses in one year! Now, Steve is sharing the secret that changed the way he did business and tripled the number of deals he was able to close per month with real estate investors throughout the nation.

Steve now resides in Florida, where he has lived for fourteen years, with his beautiful wife and three amazing children. Through real estate investing, Steve has the ability to enjoy his life everyday by spending time with his family and friends. Steve has a proven track record and has helped thousands of people become experts at Real Estate to enable them to reach their dreams of financial security.
