Bill’s vast career experiences included sales training, real estate investing, institutional banking (former co-owner and founder, Westlake Bancorp; and the former president and CEO of Gatten Financial Services, Inc. and Markay Equipment Leasing, Inc., Thousand Oaks, Ca.).

Bill was one of the rare “boots-on-the-ground, in-the-trenches, get-your-hands-dirty then use hand sanitizer before stopping for a tasty burger for lunch” (Bill would’ve loved that line) investors who actually practiced what he preached.

His passion for teaching an innovative method of controlling properties safely and ethically using seller-assisted financing with no cash, no credit and no involvement from banks or intrusive government banking regulations has helped thousands of investors attain personal and financial success by helping homeowners deal with difficult properties.

Bill was an in-demand public speaker and frequent contributor to real estate publications, podcasts, blogs and membership forums. Bill’s books, written with high-level insight coupled with his signature style of tonque in cheek humor and irreverence have changed the paradigm of real estate investing for thousands of real estate professionals, attorneys and investors all over the country.
