Welcome To The Real Estate Underground Show #40! Ron LeGrand first got involved with real estate; he was a dead-broke auto mechanic trying to make enough money to make ends meet. There was no such thing as disposable income around his house, and it was all disposed of before he got it. Thirty-five years old, bankrupt, and didn't know what he wanted when growing up, he knew it wasn't fixing cars in the hot Florida sun. The year was 1982. Ron saw an ad that said, "Come learn how to buy real estate with no money or credit." That appealed to him because he had no money or credit and liked the rich idea. So, he attended the free seminar. After more years, Ron bought and sold nearly 2,000 houses and still does. Over the years, Ron created a mountain of home study products, written millions of words in print, and shared the platform with past presidents, movie stars, actors, politicians, sports heroes, business leaders, super wealthy from all professions, and some of the best speakers in the world. He has spoken to audiences as small as 20 and as large as 20,000 in hotel meeting rooms and coliseums across North America. Ron's legacy has spread like a swarm of locusts, and his positive impact will affect thousands (maybe millions now). New generations will profit directly or indirectly because they attended one of his seminars, then used the information and passed it on. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Ron spends much of his time in front of good people who are serious about getting rich and will do what it takes to become one of the 3% who can say and prove they have achieved true wealth.

Welcome To The Real Estate Underground Show #38! Heather Dreves is the Director of Funding Secured Investment Corp and a fund manager that oversees the management of the Secured Investment High Yield Fund II LLC and the Circle of Wealth Fund III LLC. Secured Investment Corp is one of the US's fastest-growing real estate lenders and fund managers. Secured Investment Corp has created two private equity funds to fill the void left by uncooperative traditional funding sources. Investors have the potential to earn double-digit returns based on past performance by connecting real estate investors who needed non-traditional funding with passive ib=nvestors who were ready to make higher returns on their investments. Secured Investment Corp created an opportunity to benefit both sides. Passive investors get higher returns, and real estate investors get quick, competitive loans to purchase and rehab those properties that traditional lenders will not touch. Heather enjoys lending money to self-employed entrepreneurs and their families. Watching people succeed in their business motivates her, and that's why she and her lending team focus on transparency, mentorship, and making sure their people make their money back. She learned early on that focusing on the bottom line was not enough to sustain a business, and after foreclosures and property taxes caught up with many of her clients, she decided to change her approach. Now, seminars, classes, and success and accountability programs are all ways Heather and Secured Investment Corp are ensuring their clients earn all their money back (and then some).

Welcome To The Real Estate Underground Show #36! Zack Boothe is the Founder of Driving For Dollars Mastery, where he helps people replicate his success through real estate investing. Just a few years ago, Zack was a window cleaner. You can even find his window cleaning tutorial videos on YouTube with millions of views. Because of those window cleaning tutorial videos, he even ended up on the history channel. Although he succeeded with his window cleaning business, he always dreamt of being a real estate investor. Taking a leap of faith, he walked away from window cleaning, and within a handful of years, he was making over a million dollars per year from real estate investing. Zack now has his own company, a successful Podcast, and a YouTube channel where he dedicates his timing to giving back and helping others get started in the competitive game of real estate. This year, Zack launched the Driving For Dollars Mastery podcast, which is already in the top 1% of podcasts in global popularity. Recently on his YouTube channel, he did a 40 days challenge. The goal was to turn $1,000 into $40,000; he was successful in making $93,000 and buying two rentals with over $100,000 of equity. When he isn't helping people make money through real estate, Zack can spend time with his wife and two children and hiking the mountains of the Western United States.

Welcome To The Real Estate Underground Show #33! Lou Brown has students in all fifty states, across Canada, and ten foreign countries that have long regarded the training systems and forms created by Lou Brown as the best in the industry. Quoted as an expert by many publications and authors, "Lou" draws from a wide and varied background as a real estate investor, having been buying property since 1977. He invested in Single-family homes, apartments, hotels, and developed subdivisions. These experiences have given him a proving ground for today's most cutting-edge concepts in the real estate investment industry. He's widely known as a creative financing genius with his deal structuring concepts. Lou Brown's passion for Real Estate began as a teenager. His mother had a friend from work (who he affectionately called Aunt Mabel). Mabel and her husband "Uncle George," lived in a duplex and were able to buy it. They rented out the other side and were able to live for free. The next year, they purchased another duplex on the same street. Then they bought another and another. Pretty soon, they moved out of that duplex into a lovely, big house on a corner lot with a large yard and a Cadillac in the driveway. Lou saw that the secret to their lavish lifestyle came from accumulating property. Mabel showed him how to buy his first home in 1976 when he barely scraped by in a dead-end job. Once Lou learned how to buy property without borrowing money from a bank, he was unstoppable. Today, countless investors in all fifty states, across Canada, and fifteen foreign countries as far away as Australia and New Zealand, regard the training, systems, and forms created by Louis Brown as the best in the industry. What started as a desperate attempt to drag himself and his single mom out of poverty has become one of the real estate's most incredible success stories. "Lou" draws from a wide and varied background as a real estate investor and continues to be quoted as an expert by many publications and authors for decades. He's invested in single-family homes, apartments, hotels, and notes, and Lou has developed subdivisions and built and renovated homes and apartments. These experiences have given him a proving ground for learning and teaching the most cutting-edge concepts in real estate today.
