Who Is Ron LeGrand
Who is Ron LeGrand?
A former auto mechanic who could not afford a new washing machine when the old one broke. Four decades and thousands of deals later, he is still teaching the same system that got him out.
Ron tells the washing machine story in his own words.
Allow me to introduce myself
I am from humble beginnings, a former auto mechanic who could not even make ends meet working overtime. I will never forget telling my wife, again and again, that we could not afford a new washing machine when our old one broke.
Today, my wife Beverly and I live on 10 acres in Jacksonville, Florida. We have been married for nearly 60 years. I have spent more than 40 years as an independent real estate investor, entrepreneur, teacher, mentor, speaker, author, and businessman. I have personally bought, sold, controlled, financed, and structured thousands of houses and commercial property transactions across America, and the systems I teach have helped influence hundreds of thousands of real estate transactions and students.
From mechanic to investor
I was married, raising four children, working as a car mechanic, and struggling financially. I had no money in the bank, an embarrassingly small paycheck, and no clear idea what I wanted to do with my life. I only knew that I did not want to keep fixing cars in the hot Florida sun.
Sometimes, even a good business that produces a decent income can still feel like a bad job. I speak with doctors, lawyers, contractors, restaurant owners, insurance agents, and mortgage brokers who are doing fine financially when they first meet me. But many still feel miserable about how hard they are working. They feel tied down, trapped, and unable to step away from the business they built.
I saw an ad that said, “Come learn how to buy real estate with no money and no credit.” I did not believe it, but I went anyway. Within a few weeks I had done my first deal, and I was no longer an auto mechanic.
“I know that feeling, because I lived it.”
Hundreds of houses, and nearly as many headaches
Within a few short years I had purchased hundreds of houses. But I also had nearly as many headaches as I did dollars. That is when I completely redesigned my approach to real estate.
I began investing differently. I learned how to become a better investor, create immediate cash profits through quick turn transactions, and build wealth without building a life full of landlord problems.
Success is built on systems, not luck
I have been quick turning houses for cash and keeping investment properties for long term wealth for more than four decades. You cannot do that by random chance. You cannot do it hit or miss, or you would be broke. I am not. That is because I have an actual system for doing this that ordinary people can follow.
Just about all business success and wealth is built on systems. McDonald’s has a system for efficiently serving food. Southwest Airlines has a system for efficiently transporting passengers. The Ford family built wealth through systems of assembly line manufacturing and franchised dealerships. The Walton family built wealth through systems for warehousing, distribution, and controlling costs.
I have a system for efficiently locating, accurately analyzing, and intelligently purchasing very specific types of real estate. In some cases, the goal is to quickly resell for immediate cash profits. In other cases, the goal is to hold properties for long term income and wealth without the ordinary landlord headaches that frustrate so many investors.
My system can become your system without the years of trial and error, frustration, and expense that went into perfecting it.
Why I still teach
People constantly ask why I continue to teach, mentor, and seek out open minded, ambitious people to share my systems with. They wonder why someone who could have retired years ago keeps working with people who are just beginning.
The answer is simple. Golf, scuba diving, and even fishing get old quickly if that is all you do. Making millionaires never gets old to me.
While I am paid to speak, conduct seminars, write books, and create courses, that is not where most of my wealth came from. I built wealth by doing what I teach others to do. I have always believed a mentor should teach from experience, not theory.
“It is not how hard you work. It is what you work on.”
Ron LeGrandIf hard work alone were the secret to wealth, nurses, soldiers, laborers, teachers, and many of the hardest working people in America would all be rich. I want to show you how to apply a comparatively small amount of your time, brainpower, and entrepreneurial energy to opportunities that can produce outsized results.
If a broke auto mechanic can do this, why should you not be able to do it too? If I can do it, you can do it too.
