About Randy Thomason
The real estate bug hit me in College more than 40 years ago. I even bought that big one, the “Carlton Sheets” program while still in school. I did not know why or how but I knew that real estate was in my destiny. I already knew that more people became millionaires in real estate than any other way and that the richest people in the world moved their money to real estate after they made their fortunes in manufacturing, stocks, building companies, or any other way. They saw the tax advantages, security, and growth possibilities.
So how does that bring us to today, you ask?
It has been a slow but steady process for me. Learning about real estate investing was always a side to my normal businesses. It was always lurking and calling my name. I have work for a Wall Street Company, built a family technology business and sold it, bought a small property management company, and grew it 6 times over in only 4 years before selling it. There, the lurking came to the forefront and in 2011 I was all in and a full-time investor.
I discovered in the process of my real estate education that the real service I was doing was helping people out of bad problems. I call it ‘POPS.” Property owners, problem-solving. For over 30 years I have been accumulating knowledge form the best investors al over the country. I now had the knowledge and a way to help people out of bad situations they find themselves in such as divorce, foreclosure, inheriting an unwanted house, bankruptcy, probate, job or military transfers, low equity, realtor taking too long to sell, and many other things. By helping others in these bad situations, it has forced me to quickly build my company so I can help others
But something was missing.
Yes, I was helping others while making a good living and building my long- term retirement but it still was not enough.
While examining my values and goals in life I discovered the need to pay it forward in a different way than I had before. So, 5 years ago I started the Arkansas Real Estate Investors Association to help others to learn and grow their own safety net and retirement. We are now a statewide education company, with over 1000 people so far passing through our doors, that teaches people how to get started investing and change their lives.
Since then I have started a Coaching program that focuses attention on directly helping and mentoring people to change their lives and their families lives by coaching them FREE one on one.
My goal is to help at least 5000 Arkansas families get out of the 40- 40- 40 club.
You ask what that is?
It where you work 40 hours a week (or more) for 40 years, so you can retire on 40% of your salary. Oh, and you are doing all that to make someone else wealthy. And they don’t even say thank you at the end!
I am well on my way to helping people change their lives by sharing my knowledge and by mentoring them to be successful. I have one mentee who has bought 8 properties just this year so far! Talking about life-changing.
