Couple Went From $250,000 In Debt To $4.2 Million Net Worth — How Real Estate Changed Everything

When Jason and Candida started dating, he was 31, and their combined finances were a wreck. Student loans north of $100,000 (£79,000) each, a car loan, and credit card balances. Together, they were roughly $250,000 (£197,000) underwater. Neither came from money. Neither had parents who talked about investing.

Now 54, Jason appeared on the Money Guy Show's Making a Millionaire series alongside Candida and laid out a total net worth of $4.2 million (£3.3 million). Nearly $5.5 million (£4.3 million) in property, offset by about $2.5 million (£2 million) in mortgage debt, built primarily through rental and mixed-use properties.
