Millionaire Michigan Man Continued.......

Ok, where was I? Oh yeah, I was saying that we had a past with Kris Kirschner.

Well about 6 months or so after I saw Kris speak at Wendy Patton's Fortune Makers Seminar in Troy, Michigan, I traveled down to Atlanta to spend 40 days with Kris. Dan Geier, of Senior Helpers fame, Jared Pomranky, President of WCRT Detroit, and myself were together to learn from Kris at his bootcamp.

Little did I know that my future partner and co-founder Nathan Mayes was also going to be in attendance in Atlanta. I met some great people down there from Michigan including Paul Smudski, Don Staley, Mark Weslowski, and my old buddy Joe Cook.

We all learned a lot from Kris about how to buy using subject-to, and how to sell effectively on lease option. Over the nest couple of years or so, buying subject-to is the only way that most of us bought houses. Kris is from Detroit as I said in an earlier post, so he always showed us preferential treatment. He used Dan and Nate is examples a few times, and called on them both quite a bit during his presentations. It definitely felt good to be with 2 of Kris' top students.

So like I said earlier I knew that when Nate said let's have Kris up to speak at Michigan's Premier Real Estate Investor's Association, The REIA of Macomb of course, we were in for some fun. Kris showed up the day before the REIA to settle in and spend some time at his home town. That night we all(Nathan, myself, and Kris' Team) all went to Greektown. We feasted like Greek royalty, and had a great time. This is the first time that I had spent any extended time with Kris outside of a seminar. He was totally down to earth. He wouldn't let Nathan and I pay the bill at the restaurant.

Imagine this, one of your biggest if not #1 real estate mentors comes into town to speak at the real estate club that you founded. Sounds pretty awesome right? If that wasn't enough, he treats us to dinner. That's class.

The event went off perfectly. Kris was welcomed with absolutely open arms from our membership and visitors. he actually broke a REIA of Macomb attendance record. We had over 165 investors, real estate agents, attorneys, private lenders, mortgage brokers, and many more unnamed people in attendance.

Not only has Kris Kirschner helped Nathan and myself immensely in our investing careers, he's also helped us build The REIA of Macomb's membership.

Thank you Kris!!!
