Welcome Friends! My name is Mark Walters and I'm a 3rd generation real estate investor, author and all around entrepreneur. Please allow me to share a little bit about Myself, my Ranch & my Business...
I am the President & CEO of CreatingWealthClub.com which is a worldwide community of people learning and sharing successful investing techniques.
My Grandfather, Dr. Lloyd Walters Senior, invested in his first "fixer-upper" property back in 1937 in San Jose, California. Since that time, my family has never stopped investing in real estate!
We have been sharing our Eight Decades of investing experience with others since 1985.
This is my dog Jake...
I flew into Las Vegas one weekend to visit friends. They knew someone who had just gotten Jake from the pound. Evidently these people were abusing him. NOT GOOD!
I liked Jake as soon as I met him and finding out about his situation killed the trip for me. He is such a good dog. I was really broken up over the treatment Jake was receiving.... So imagine my delight when these losers suggested I take Jake home with me! My smile was back....
Then the next day they changed their minds. WHAT?! That was tough because I had already made the emotional bond with Jake. The following day they offered him to me again and I told them this was it. No going back.
I called the airline and canceled my flight home. I then called the rental car company and told them I was not leaving my car at the airport in Vegas, but rather driving it home to Phoenix.
They charged me an extra $200, which was well worth it! Jake has been happy ever since. Oh... and that $200 to get him home has been one of my best investments. I've walked Jake just about every day for the last 10 years and guess what? As I've looked around on our walks I've discovered bargain real estate opportunities. I've purchased 5 houses all because Jake got me out of the house and looking around!
In fact, the Ranch we now have is because of Jake. I had lived in a really nice 2 story house. Problem was Jake started getting arthritis and going up the stairs was becoming a problem. I watched with a heavy heart as he would struggle up the stairs. That was it...the search was on. I knew we needed a one story house and I thought some land would be nice too. Never did I dream of getting a Ranch.
Just goes to show... you must A-S-K in order to G-E-T! I found a killer deal and jumped on it. The Ranch has gone up hundreds of thousands of dollars since we bought it. Talk about a
Bird-Dog! Thanks Jake here's a treat...

We now have 2 goats by the name of Ben & Jerry...
That's them, knocking over the bird feeder to get to the chow. You can see it on the ground behind them.
My girlfriend saw these 2 being born at a dairy while on a field trip with the local school district she works for. She phoned me saying she had a connection with some goats that were just born and that I should come to the dairy and take a look. When I got off the phone I knew I had just inherited 2 baby goats.
For the next 2 months we bottle fed them 4 times a day! Now, whenever they see people, they come running because they just want to be your Pal. We have several large trees along with 9 fruit trees. If a branch or fruit ever falls to the ground, we just throw it over the fence into the pasture where the goats live and they chow down. That's the lazy man's way to grounds keeping... and that's just the way I like it!
We also have a pot belly pig named Ginger...
I had a fruit tray left over that was a little too ripe. As you can see, Ginger thought it was just right!

Now that you know about my present life, please allow me to share my background... I grew up in the bay area living about 50 minutes away from San Francisco.
Growing up my family owned houses and apartments. We discussed real estate investing regularly and that's the environment I grew up in. How fortunate I was...and still am.
We were written up in a national publication in 1985 for our revolutionary marketing ideas dealing with discounted mortgages. The demand was so great to learn our techniques that we wrote the first book in the country on marketing for trust deeds titled..... "How To Find All The Discounted Mortgages You Could Ever Hope To Buy". We still sell it today.
After that books' release we were inundated with people asking us what else we were doing. We then wrote another real estate investing book, which had people requesting more ideas and the big information snow ball has never stopped rolling.
It all started because we believe in networking ideas to help people, just like people have helped us. Not a bad way to live one's life.
By the age of 25 I had my own real estate brokerage. Being a broker and being an investor are two completely different things. I longed for the action one gets investing, creating deals and being in the drivers seat.
In 1992 we moved to Phoenix AZ. We had been watching the area since 1990 as it had gone through a savings and loan crisis for the prior 4 years and was just coming out of it. In 1990 real estate foreclosures in Phoenix were everywhere. You could drive the streets and see all kinds of government for sale signs on houses that had defaulted loans which were insured by government programs. There were so many rental houses you couldn't give them away!
There were even opportunities in commercial real estate investing as there were unfinished and abandoned developments all over the area. Real estate investing financing wasn't the problem, it was what to do with the property once you owned it that was the challenge considering the vacancy rate was so high. It wasn't the perfect time for a beginner in real estate investing...
When it appeared Phoenix was beginning to show the first stages of recovery in 1992, we packed up all our California belongings and moved to Arizona. We began buying properties with the intention of riding the market up.
Guess what? Our crystal ball must have been working because over the following several years Phoenix has become one of the premiere real estate investing areas in the United States.
