The Master is Coming
Ron LeGrand – Godfather of Real Estate

Here's a video you can watch about Ron's visit.

After 36 years, buying over 3,000 houses, and training hundreds of thousands of students worldwide, Ron is the undisputed Godfather in the industry and a highly sought-after educator. His humorous lectures all lead to one underlying mission for those fortunate enough to be in his classes. That mission - learn how to buy and sell houses without using your money or credit, reducing risk, building and protecting cash flow and wealth, and doing it all in a few hours a month. Ron is a master of making the fastest and easiest money in real estate using automation, delegation, and systems so you can work less and make more. He is the trainer’s trainer and is credited with changing a lot of lives, launching new careers, and creating many multi-millionaires.

Ron has prepared a special presentation for our meeting called “It’s Never Been Easier”. You’ll see how the fastest, biggest, and easiest money is made with houses using no credit and little or no money. He’ll show you how he and thousands of his students buy beautiful houses in the best neighborhoods in all price ranges…without risk, credit apps, or banks and quickly turn them into cash flow machines that pay for years.

He’ll be accompanied by Lynette Wolff who with her husband Brian, do 6 deals a month, none are rehabs, and make seven figures annually – and have for the last ten years. On Friday, Lynette will spend the day calling FSBO’s and creating deals for all those who bring Seattle leads to the meeting the night before. You can learn how to bring yours here. A few calls to sellers who’ve advertised their house for sale before the meeting could result in a deal netting you 20-50K in the next 45 days. Watch this video and bring a few leads.

On Saturday, Ron will be doing his all-day workshop, Fast Track to Wealth, and going step-by-step over how he makes millionaires and why this business has never been easier. FYI, the guru still does 2-4 deals a month. You’ll get to see

Who is Ron LeGrand?

Allow me to introduce myself. I’m from humble beginnings, a former auto mechanic who couldn’t even make ends meet working overtime. I’ll never forget telling my wife again and again we couldn’t afford a new washing machine when our old one broke. Today, we live in a 7,000 square foot home in Florida. I’ve bought and sold over 3,500 homes and commercial properties all over America (using the same System I’ll give you) and I have thousands of people I’ve helped and am helping to achieve their grandest goals. I’d like to share my story with you…

I’ve been buying “quick-turning” for cash and keeping as investment houses as an independent investor and entrepreneur for 35 years. You can’t do that by random. You can’t do it “hit or miss” or you’d be broke, and I’m not; I’m quite rich. That’s because I have an actual SYSTEM for this that anybody can follow. And just about all business success and wealth is based on SYSTEMS. McDonald’s has a System for efficiently serving food. Southwest Airlines has a System for efficiently transporting passengers. “Old” wealth, like the Ford family’s, came from the Systems of assembly-line manufacturing and franchised dealerships. “New” wealth, like the Walton’s family’s, came from the Wal-Mart Systems for regional warehousing and distribution and controlling costs. In your job or business, you undoubtedly have Systems.

I have a System for efficiently locating, accurately analyzing, and intelligently purchasing certain very specific types of real estate, in some cases to quickly resell one of several ways for immediate cash profits; in other cases, to hold onto, without landlord headaches. My System can be your System – without the years of trial-and-error and expense that went into perfecting it…

In 1982, I was married, working as a car mechanic, with no money in the bank, an embarrassingly small paycheck, constantly telling my wife and kids “no” and feeling terrible about it. I was 35 years old, bankrupt, married for 17 years, with 4 kids, and clueless about what I wanted to do with my life – although I was pretty sure I didn’t want to fix cars in the hot Florida sun. (Sometimes even a good business providing a good income still feels like a bad job.

I talked with a lot of doctors, lawyers, contractors, restaurant owners, insurance sales agents, mortgage brokers who are doing just fine purely in income when they first meet me, but still feeling miserable about how hard they’re working or how they’re tied down and trapped by their businesses. I liberate them now, like I was once liberated.) I saw an ad that said, “Come learn how to buy real estate with no money and no credit.” I didn’t believe it, but went anyway. Within the next 3 weeks, I made $3,000 on a small real estate deal and I was no longer an auto mechanic. In a few short years I’d purchased over 400 houses, but I had as many headaches as I did dollars. That’s when I completely redesigned my approach to real estate, and went about being an ‘investor’ differently, and went about being a ‘quick-turn entrepreneur’ for immediate cash profits, too.

People started coming to me for advice, word got around, and almost of its own making, I wound up in the business of showing others how to do what I do – and what I do IS unique. It is a unique combination of marketing to attract deals, immediate cash profits, avoiding ordinary landlord problems, and rapidly accumulating wealth, a goodly portion of it tax-free. If that sounds complicated, it isn’t. Once you know the steps, it’ll be just as easy and natural for you to do as what you do now to make a living. By the way, you’ll be joining a 50-Billion Dollar Industry that’s more than 200 years old. It’s not what we’re doing anything totally new here. Instead, I’ve built a System for you on a rock-solid foundation.

So, today, my wife of 52 years, Beverly and I live in a beautiful home and 10 acres in Jacksonville, Florida. I indulge in my favorite hobby, fishing, with three or four trips a year, including my favorite, into the Alaskan wilderness. I do a lot of speaking – in fact, I address audiences of 200 to 20,000. I frequently find myself on programs with people like Dr. Phil, former U.S. Presidents, famous authors like Robert Kiosayki, ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad,’ even Donald Trump. I usually travel in my private jet – no “take off your belt and shoes” airport security lines for me! I don’t tell you ANY of that to brag, but to make two very important points for your benefit: one, if a dumb car mechanic can do this, why shouldn’t you? You definitely have more education and resources than I did when I started. And you have all my experience, buying some 400 houses “dumb ways,” 3,100+ the smart way; buying over $300-million of commercial property; 36 years; all compressed and condensed into a step-by-step System that I never had. Two, although I’m paid every week to speak, conduct seminars, and author books and courses, that’s NOT where the majority of my wealth came from or comes from. I do what I tell you to do. I still buy and “quick-turn” three or more ‘ordinary’ houses almost every month just to keep my hand in.

People constantly ask why I continue to teach, mentor, and actually work to find open-minded, ambitious people to give my system to. It’s hard for them to understand why a multi-millionaire real estate investor who could have retired rich and relaxed years ago keeps working with people who aren’t yet in his league. I know it even raised suspicion and skepticism. The answer is simple, really. Golf, scuba-diving, even fishing gets old quick if that’s all you do. Making millionaires never gets old to me. I truly enjoy sharing my System. And I’ll enjoy sharing it with you. You know, I think most people, including most businesspeople, try to get where they want to go by working harder. But I discovered it’s not how hard you work but what you work on. If hard work were the secret, nurses, ditch-diggers, soldiers risking their lives in war zones, maybe even one or two of your employees would have Warren Buffet or Bill Gates money. I’d really like to show you how to apply a comparatively little amount of your time, brain power and entrepreneurial energy to something that can and will yield huge results.
