About Randy Hammer
Randy Hammer began his real estate investing career in 1990 while working his full-time job at the Chrysler plant in Brownsburg, Indiana. The Carleton Sheets has lit his fuse about real estate, and he thought working on a farm was too hard and did not like it. So he bought 9 rental houses in his first year and 10 rentals in his 2nd year, all with no money out of pocket.
Then, the Chrysler plant shut down and closed, and his 23 rentals replaced the income he was getting on his job. But, he has never looked back. He now lives in both Brownsburg, Indiana, and has a new home in Florida. He does 5 to 6 rehabs every month and has dozens of rental properties.
Today, he lives the lifestyle he used to dream about, and he wants you to experience the same. Randy says, “If I can do it, you can do it too!”

About Wilbert Fonseca
Wilbert “Ed the Cuban Guy” Fonseca grew up in Havana, Cuba near the crystal blue Caribbean Sea. He studied law at the University of Havana and became a lawyer in 1996. His main focus in law was Private and Public Company Law. In 2006, Wilbert decided to move to the United States to be with his father in Louisville, Kentucky. Less than two weeks later, he enrolled at the University of Louisville and earned a bachelor’s degree in Law, and upon further study, a Masters of Business Administration in 2010.
While working full-time at UPS he began studying and learning about Real Estate, utilizing any free time he had to gain knowledge on the subject. In 2012, he quit his job at UPS and devoted 100% of his time to Real Estate.
Wilbert began his career by purchasing fixer uppers and selling them to owner-occupied buyers, and discovered very quickly that this was what he loved to do. It was no longer a job; it was a passion. He went on to purchase and sell several additional properties, and after some time, expanded his business plan to start including rental properties and building wealth.
