Rob Barney | DHLC Investments Real estate goals: “First, to help investors in first deed of trust mortgages build cash-flow quickly. Second, to help real estate investors (borrowers) find the right capital for their next profitable fix-and-flip.” Why real estate? “Whether you are flipping homes or lending money, you have the opportunity to change lives. It is gratifying to give borrowers access to funds and investors a profitable opportunity that gives them the ability to reach their goals and dreams.”
Biggest real estate “win” so far: “Having a caring staff and amazing investors that allow me to give back to the community. At the end of the day, it’s about impacting people’s lives both personally and professionally.”
EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR: This award recognizes an investor, company, or association excelling in providing real estate-related education. This includes but is not limited to mentoring, consulting, reporting, teaching, data analysis, and broadcast media.
Linda Liberatore | My Landlord Helper, Secure Pay One Why real estate? Real estate investing provides you a vehicle to build both wealth and legacy. I am an active investor, and I have seen firsthand how it establishes a work ethic and values for my family. Why education? “Education is what enables me to empower other people. Our business has always been a partnership with landlords and new investors looking for knowledge, resources, and direction to achieve growth and refine their definition of success.”
What people say about Linda: “When we…needed a solution to our growing property management needs, Linda stepped up and showed us how to keep our inbox at 0, when to send files to legal, how to speed up the leasing process, and the importance of documenting all communications and setting up procedures to…ensure accuracy and accountability with our files, accounting, and staff.”
Bruce Norris | The Norris Group Why real estate? “I invest in real estate because I have studied market cycles and know how to get in at the bottoms and out at the peaks, it is one of the few assets that can have a known value yet be purchased at a discount, and it has tax benefits like no other asset class.” Proudest moment in real estate: "I was negotiating with a seller who had called from my ad, and I sensed the seller was very depressed. Instead of pressing for the purchase, I handed him Og Mandino's book, The Greatest Miracle in the World . The next day when I checked back with him, he said the book had saved his life. He had
intended to sell me the house, then kill himself. Biggest real estate “win” so far: “Going from a one-man flipper to owning The Norris Group.”
