Bill Twyford

I grew up in a small town in Iowa.  My Dad owned a successful commercial painting contract business.  My brother and I worked with Dad as young boys.  When I was 24 years old I started my own business in Houston Texas.  I painted water towers, silos, and radio towers.  You name it; I painted it.

I was preparing a bid on a huge job when I was required to take a respirator test.  This test requires you to breath into a test tube to see what your lung capacity is.  I failed miserably.  My doctor told me that if I wanted to live to be forty, I needed to quit painting immediately and move to a higher altitude to clean out my lungs.

I packed-up my family and moved to Colorado.  I had no idea what to do next.  I had some cash and thought I’d try retirement.  Two months later I was climbing the walls and searching for something to do.  I happened into a real estate office and that is where it all began.

This realtor was sitting at his desk with his feet propped up.  Curiously, I ask him if this is what he did all day.  He informed me he ate donuts and waited for clients to walk-in from newspaper ads.  He said he earned $50,000 per year and averaged ten properties per year.  Being the assertive person that I am, I figured I could do the same thing, but I would sell one hundred houses and make some real money.

My first year as a realtor I sold seventy nine houses; my second year I sold one hundred and twenty three.  I was really making a name for myself and loving every minute of it!  In August of 1994 I was exposed to Mike Ferry and he became my mentor.

A few years later, I went to war with the IRS and my ex wife.  The result was a nasty divorce and a huge tax liability.  That was a defining moment for me.  I decided then I was going to help folks who were in bad situations: divorce, foreclosure, IRS problems or whatever.  I wanted to be an advocate for the people.

My first year as an investor, I sold eighty properties.  The money was ten times better and I was helping folks.  I was hooked and have been doing it since.  To date I have sold well over 800 properties.

A couple of years ago I met Dwan at a seminar and we married the following year.  Since then we have blended a wonderful family of five, we travel and speak together, and are loving life.

Real estate has been very good to both of us.  We wish the same for you.  Folks, you truly can make as much money as you are willing to work for.  There is nothing keeping you from earning a million dollars each and every year.

The difference between earning good money and great money is the way in which you speak.  Learning NLP will change your life.  Read my programs, practice them, and watch your income go through the roof!

Pete Youngs

Pete Youngs a.k.a. Mr. Rehab started in the R.E. business with his brother in the late 80,s after he purchased some books and tapes from a seminar in Atlanta. As his brother was buying properties, Pete was fixing them up, and they quickly formed a partnership buying, fixing and selling houses for huge profits.

After sending checks to the T.V. guru, he flew them out to Hawaii many times to be on his infomercial, and at that point they started training students for major real estate gurus and well known speakers. While traveling around the country with all the top names in the business, the brothers signed with another T.V. guru to do our foreclosure-rehab boot camp and it became so popular that they earned 14 awards for the top rated boot camp in the country.

Pete has spent the last seven years doing boot camps for other organizations and has now decided to do trainings on his own. He now speaks on his Rehab 101 system at major conventions and real estate clubs nationwide.
