I bought my first flip in 1991. I love real estate. I just finished renovating $37,000,000 in rehabs in the last 16 months. I’ve wholesaled a ton as well. More importantly, I’ve taught 1000’s of students to invest with my coaching, consulting, courses and events.
I love real estate…maybe because I know it well and I’ve seen it change so many lives.
I’m not a guru. Just someone who had a dream to work for himself. What accelerated it was meeting a woman. I realized to build the life and family I wanted with her, I needed to stop traveling as a consultant. I started going to seminars. Tony Robbins, Robert Allen, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Jay Abraham..I started in mail order and ended in real estate and lots in between.
Off I went for 5 days in San Diego...Robert Allen’s first 5 day Creating Wealth seminar. In fact I remember the A/V guy he had was named Bill something. During the break I chatted him up and found out he was the same guy Tony Robbins used. In fact Tony emailed Allen’s list and that’s called an endorsed mailing and how I ended up walking on 50 ft of hot coals…Later I worked as Executive Vice President of Consulting with Tony’s conulting business…a story for another time.
Back to real estate…years after the Allen seminar, I got my notes off the shelf and followed them to the T and I bought my first investment property. Closed on my birthday. 4736 S Lamon, Chicago IL in 1991.
10 years later, I found myself working in television where as a consultant I brought innovative ideas like asking for email addresses from buyers, doing post sale teleseminars and webinars to leads and buyers. The industry typically just took a phone order and moved on to the next person.
Skip ahead a decade after working on educational programs, live events and coaching that sold over $329 million dollars, I was not happy with the results I saw people getting, I started my own thing…first teaching a few people then growing it. Eventually to thousands!
Foreclosures, REO’s or bank owned properties, wholesaling, rehabbing, creative financing like lease options, direct mail marketing, using virtual assistants, texting, buying leads, we did AND taught it all. Now I’m happy to give it to you all…for FREE!
