Jason and Jackie McClure have built a real estate business around a strategy most investors overlook — and they have done it while homeschooling four kids, relocating from California to Texas, and staying focused on what they say actually makes wealth worth building. The co-founders of Vetted Homes joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to lay out their approach to mid-term rentals and to talk honestly about the life those decisions have made possible.
The conversation covers practical strategy and personal values in roughly equal measure. Jason and Jackie bring both the mechanics of their approach and the harder questions underneath it — about purpose, giving back, and what financial freedom is actually for.
About Jason & Jackie McClure
Jason and Jackie McClure are real estate investors and the co-founders of Vetted Homes, a business built around mid-term rental properties. Their approach centers on insurance-backed rentals — a niche in the rental market that, in their experience, offers more predictable cash flow and lower friction than traditional short-term platforms like Airbnb. They relocated from California to Texas as part of building the life they wanted alongside the business.
Beyond the investment strategy itself, Jason and Jackie are known for integrating their faith, family, and a commitment to community service into how they talk about wealth and purpose. They have been involved in mission work and adoption, and their perspective on financial independence is shaped by those commitments as much as by any spreadsheet.

Their conversation with Sean Kelly is worth watching for anyone curious about mid-term rentals as an investment approach, and equally for anyone thinking through what it means to build a business that serves a life rather than the other way around.
