This time next week, I’ll be in Atlanta, meeting up with my friend Lou Brown for “Millionaire Deal Maker,” another one of his awesome seminars. You may know Lou as an expert in the structure of the deal, but I’ve known him as a friend  for years. Actually, we met at one of his events, where he confided in me his impressive story about how he achieved success in this business.

Lou started buying property in 1977, when he was a teenager! Since then, he’s invested in single-family homes, apartments, hotels, developed subdivisions and built and renovated homes and apartments. He’s bought and sold in many ways, including auctions. The wealth of knowledge he’s shared with me over the years has really broadened my horizons about how a truly creative entrepreneur can secure financing and structure dream deals.

I’m not the only one who is impressed with Lou. He’s been quoted by “The Wall Street Journal” and “Smart Money” Magazine, among others, as an expert in real estate investing, managing and financing. He also has taught me a lot about how to give back to my community. Lou is past-president and a lifetime member of the Georgia Real Estate Investor Association (GREIA). He also is the founding president of the National Real Estate Investors Association (NREIA), which works with local investor groups nationwide.

I’ll soon be sharing what I learn in Atlanta, and keep you posted on all the best events as we head into a busy season of buying, selling and training to make the most out of the next great deal. Although I’ll attend his events anywhere he holds him, I had an especially good time on one of his famous cruises … that some may consider infamous.

If any of you have attended any trainings that stick out in your mind, please share your stories.
