Some 20 years ago Bob Cain went to a no-money-down seminar and got the strange notion that owning rental property would be a great idea.  He bought some.

He knew he needed help.  Because what he learned at the seminar didn't tell him how to make money in real estate.   He went looking for it in the form of a magazine or newsletter about the business.  He couldn’t find any.

 

Always ready to jump at a great idea, he decided he could put his speaking and writing skills to work and perform a valuable service for other investors who needed more information about property management.

 

Since 1987 Bob has been publishing information, giving speeches and putting on  seminars and workshops for landlords on how to buy, rent and manage property more effectively.  He has spoken at real estate companies, property management associations and companies, workshops for landlords and property managers, service clubs and volunteer organizations.

 

He is a past member of the National Speakers Association, and a current member of Toastmasters, and a Graduate of the Realtor Institute.

 

He continues to buy more rental property.

 

Bob has worked for a large daily newspaper, for a book publisher, for an advertising agency, as a grocery store manager, as a Realtor specializing in investment property sales, and as a mortgage broker specializing in construction and rental property loans.  He lives in Oro Valley, Arizona with his wife of 38 years.  He has two grown children, a granddaughter, and a grandson.
