Jeff Brown puts his 45+ years of experience to the test as a real estate investing consultant by helping people do a better job of acquiring rental property, selecting the right financing, and growing their investments. His investors range from first-time buyers to million-dollar property owners. Some are college graduates, others were high school dropouts. They include business owners, teachers, electricians, office workers and more. Their common trait? They all have the will to be objective, adhere to a solid plan, and do everything on purpose. They start by creating a Purposeful Plan. Then everything they do with properties is according to the Plan. It’s not magic. It’s time tested property investment principles. In the end, all their clients accomplish the same goal. They retire with enough income to live their dream. Or, in Jeff’s words, they live the life they Purposefully Planned. Given the same amount of capital, their investors beat the average investor’s growth by 2 or 3 times to 1.

Jeff’s firm was established back in 1977 with one purpose in mind: to take clients from where they are when they meet, to a magnificently abundant retirement. To that end, Jeff’s policy has always been to be not only hands on, but proactive when it comes to clients’ Purposeful Plans. Over the years they've made room for experts in subjects that directly and indirectly enhance in some way the results clients seek.

Jeff has an extensive following on his own Bawldguy website as well as the highly respected blog BiggerPockets.

Tim Rhode, the creative force behind 1lifefullylived.org is a rare individual who “walks the walk” of what he teaches. Tim came from a very humble background, growing up in a blue collar family in a blue collar town. Although he barely graduated high school and never attended any college, Tim went on to dream, plan, and create his own “magnificent life.” He grew up as the 3rd of four kids of a teacher, Raymond Rhode and a stay-at-home mom, Patti Compton. Raymond was an excellent teacher, but not always wise with his finances.

Ray’s tight financial situation left an indelible mark on Tim and he strived to make a better life for his family. After a slow start in life (he was a grocery clerk until 25), Tim sold real estate for approximately 18 years – and sold over 2,500 homes in that period. Every year as Tim’s income continued to grow, he lived “small” and saved and invested his income and reinvested his profits. Tim lived as if he was still making a grocery clerk’s salary. Over time, he has also bought and sold hundreds of properties for himself. Some he fixed and sold for a profit; others he kept as rental properties which he either sold or exchanged into the 2005 Real Estate craze. He now owns many commercial real estate properties and real estate notes that provide passive income which allow Tim to follow his passions. These include mentoring young folks on creating a great life, as well as skiing, hiking, mountain biking, etc. Tim lives in an incredibly “inspiring” setting in his “castle in the sky” tucked into a mountain north of Lake Tahoe, CA. (Portola, Plumas County) with his lovely wife Tina, and has three wonderful children Chris, Sarah, and Andy. The older kids are in their mid-20s and are out of the house, totally self-sufficient, creating their own “magnificent futures.” The youngest child is still in high school being mentored daily on the same things Tim is teaching here.

Having gotten off to a slow start in life, and then finding his way to such a great life, has inspired Tim to help others find their own paths earlier in life. Tim is totally committed to helping kids plan their future, as well as becoming a force to help change the ways children are taught in our schools. Tim understands he has lived a blessed life and wants to spend his senior years helping young folks (of all ages) dream, plan and implement their own “magnificent future.”
