Eric M. Wohlwend,
OPHP, NaPHP
Getting Started: Eric M. Wohlwend started his first business when he was 11 years old. After running half a dozen break even businesses he realized that there was a secret that he didn’t know. He was working too hard and making too little. After learning to use some basic universal laws to his benefit his life changed virtually over night. While applying principles from The Secret, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and many of the Rich Dad Poor Dad books he continues to learn and grow in his life and applies these lessons to his multiple new businesses. Eric chose to live on a mattress in a broken down warehouse rather than give up on his dream. He used that time to learn & grow personally. Next he focused on learning to systemize a business. After learning and applying these principles in his own life, he started investing. In his first 2 years of investing he became financially free at the age of 30.
Eric has been a full-time Real Estate Investor since 2003. He received both the Ohio and the National Professional Housing Provider certification in 2006. He has been a Real Estate Agent since 2010. He has repositioned more than 1000 multi-family residential units. He is IREM CPM trained & has a Bachelors of Science from Kent State University.
In the last two decades Eric has used millions of dollars of private money to finance hundreds of multi-family units, single-family homes, about a dozen storefronts, a few mobile home parks, a storage facility and part of an airport. He specializes in finding deals that are “On Sale”, then buying and managing his managers. Eric’s ability to find deals in creative ways and then fund them through alternative funding sources has led to a huge expansion during the crash of 2007-2009. When banks stopped lending money to small investors, he developed a network of over 50 private lenders to finance new deals. He currently controls millions of dollars of real estate. He has owned everything from Houses to Airports and Vending machines. He still has single family and multi-family residential properties as well as commercial real estate.

Deven J. Wohlwend, OPHP
From the time he was born, Deven has been going to investment meetings. He developed an interest in investing at a very early age. He found a way to invest in what he knew when he was only 5 years old. By the time he was 7, he started a company and started purchasing real estate. He purchased his first house using only his knowledge, creativity and a little bit of money that he had earned at his part-time job. By the time he was 10 years old, he attained his Ohio Professional Housing Provider Certification (O.P.H.P.). This made him the youngest person to ever attain this certification. He started investing in single family homes. Then, he rapidly moved on to a small, multi-family (duplex.) Within 3 years, he had bought 20% of a 60-unit complex. He is constantly growing his real estate team and acquiring more assets. At 11 years old, he published his first book about his successes and setbacks: If I Can Do It, So Can You. You can get more information or order a book from Amazon or at www.IfICanSoCanYouBook.com. Within a few months he was interviewed by Larry Goins on his first Podcast. At 12 he started speaking and has been on stages in more than half a dozen states. He just finished coauthoring a book with Mark Victor Hansen called The Garage. You can order a Paperback, hardback or Kindle version today on Amazon. Look for him at a business or real estate conference near you.
Deven is an assistant trainer for Clear Sky Training, Ltd. and currently scheduling stops for a book tour.

Ethan also likes to ride ATV’s on the family farm, spend time with his family, and fly airplanes… but his dad has to land because he can’t see over the dashboard or reach the pedals. He just recently started public speaking because as he says: “I’m buying too many properties to stop & Speak.” I’ll see you at the next REIA meeting. Ethan is also writing his first book… The Treehouse. Details to follow…
