In my own words...

I began investing in 1976 when I was in the Army. I was a bank examiner for FDIC and then owned a mortgage company in Springfield, Mo. My experience includes appraisal of residential and commercial properties, mortgage brokerage activities, developed the first loan servicing company for privately held mortgages and installment contracts in the midwest. I served as a Commissioner of a large public housing authority and was the executive director of a non-profit housing entity developing affordable housing. I appraised mortgage and financing instruments for the State of Missouri and was active in purchasing mortgages individually and in bulk. I've purchased existing mortgages in default from insured lenders. I was a real estate broker and a creditor's representative in federal bankruptcy court.

I have taught real estate courses, finance and accounting at the college level and assist new investors with instruction. I am not a guru, but someone with years of knowledge and experience you can go to.

I'm creative and enjoy solving problems for deals to be closed when others have given up.
