BREAK THE
CHAINS GROUP
The chains of bad credit trap families. The chains of traditional banks lock people out of home ownership. The chains of veteran homelessness leave those who served sleeping on the street. Break the Chains Group exists to break all three. Pick the path that’s yours
FROM PRISON TO PROSPERITY
FROM PRISON TO PROSPERITY
Your
past
doesn’t define your future
I’m Brian Madsen. 100% disabled Marine Corps veteran. Active federal FCRA plaintiff in the Southern District of Texas. Active AAA arbitrant against Experian. Real estate operator with $36.4 million in transactions and the founder of Break the Chains Group.
I lost my mom at 7. Dealt drugs as a teenager. Did time. Joined the Marines. Came home at 100% disabled with a 400 credit score and a prison record. Seventeen months later, the traditional way, I was a qualified homebuyer.
Every chain I had to break is a chain Break the Chains Group now helps other people break. That is the why.
WHAT WE DO
Three chains. Three arms. One mission. Pick yours.
Credit Education. We teach you the Fair Credit Reporting Act. You learn your rights. You document the violations in your file. You file the disputes. Where the facts warrant, you fight back. Led by an active federal FCRA plaintiff.
Creative Finance for Homebuyers. A bank said no. We say yes. Subject-to, seller finance, and wraps put you into a home while your credit file is still being rebuilt. Twelve to twenty-four months later, you refinance conventionally. The house is yours.
Veteran Housing Investment. Mission-aligned capital acquires and operates co-living and small-multifamily housing for homeless and at-risk veterans across the Greater Houston area. HUD-VASH and SSVF ready.

LEVERAGE THE HUSTLE FROM THE STREETS
After losing my Mom at 7 to a drunk driver, I sought solace in places where I shouldn't have. Dealing drugs became my escape, my way of dealing with the cards I was dealt. And for a while, it seemed to work. But life has a funny way of waking you up. One day, I looked in the mirror and decided that I was more than the sum of my mistakes.That was my turning point.
I enlisted in the Marines. Came home at 100% disabled. Went to prison. Came out with a 400 credit score and a record. Seventeen months later I was a qualified homebuyer. The traditional way.
Every chain I had to break is a chain Break the Chains Group now helps other people break. That is the why.
