Mr. Land Trust

He started life out on the wrong side of the railroad tracks. His father was an alcoholic and his mother was left to raise four children on a clerk’s wages. None of his relatives owned their own business . . . everyone worked for wages.

His father charged the weekly groceries so the family would have food on the table. There was no stable income for any future education much less the current needs of the family.

No intellectual or financial direction was taught in his schools or church. No blood relative had anything to offer other than “working for the man” at an hourly wage. Bank savings and financial security were what only the rich had. He was doomed to financial failure and unhappiness for the rest of his life.

Mr. Land Trust® knew that there MUST be a better way to live. He decided to break the cycle of poverty in his family's genes. Education came first. He graduated from Eastern Illinois University and began buying single-family homes for rental while in college. After college, he tried many different types of businesses but always came back to the Single-family Home as the IDEAL investment. Since purchasing his first rental house in 1969, he hasn’t looked back!

Today, Mr. Land Trust® has purchased more than 200 houses. He has lived a life of having nothing and will not let that happen again. His primary goal now is to teach others how to break the cycle of poverty. Mr. Land Trust® teaches real estate investment courses throughout the United States.
