Running with House Money: How I Turned Credit into Cashflow, Real Estate, and Free Travel

What if your credit card could buy you freedom instead of debt?

Lee A. Patterson was once just another college kid riding a Greyhound with nothing but a box of clothes, a scholarship, and a dream. Fast-forward a few years, and he's built a multi-property real estate portfolio, flown across the world for free, and created a lifestyle most only dream about-all by learning how to leverage credit the smart way.

In Running with House Money, Lee breaks down the exact blueprint he used to:

Turn credit cards into capital for real estate deals

Renovate properties without touching his savings

Automate rental income with systems (not stress)

Travel the world using points and rewards

Scale a business that doesn't burn him out

This is not your typical real estate book. It's a roadmap for turning hustle into assets, setbacks into strategies, and debt into freedom.

Whether you're starting with a 600 credit score or already investing, Lee shows you how to run your own race-and win using house money.
