Let’s start 2026 inspired.

Chad Byard spent six years grinding through traditional rehabs—including a brutal $200,000 renovation that produced just $60,000 in profit.

Burned out and searching for a scalable path, Chad found Investor Creator and pivoted into PPC marketing, creative financing, and reverse negotiation—completely reshaping his business.

Over the past two years, Chad has generated $1.3M in profit, and he’s on track for multiple seven figures by the end of 2026.
