35 Years of Success: What Most Real Estate Gurus Won't Tell You

What separates a 35-year track record from the countless real estate gurus who've come and gone? Del Walmsley reflects on an extraordinary milestone - three and a half decades of helping people build wealth through real estate investing. While Donald Trump's program got shut down, Robert Kiyosaki went off selling gold and silver, and countless other "experts" vanished into obscurity, Del is still here, still teaching, still mentoring.

 

The reason isn't luck. It's the difference between simplicity on the other side of complexity and the flashy promises that burn out. Del shares the brutal truth about what happened when inexperienced syndicators flooded the market, pushing prices to dangerous levels while interest rates plummeted. He warned about the coming crash in video after video - and then had to step back in personally to protect his members when even his own mentors couldn't say "no" to deals that made no sense.

 

This isn't just a celebration of longevity. It's a masterclass in recognizing market cycles, understanding when to buy and when to walk away, and why rising foreclosures might be the best news real estate investors have heard in years.
