Father & Son Team Educate Plus Entertain Investors F By Stephanie B. Mojica or the last seven years, father and son team Lloyd and Andrew Mabrey have com- bined their entertainment skills and real estate expertise to educate and entertain audiences throughout the United States. Lloyd has been in the entertain- ment industry for 38 years as a singer, musician, comedian, writer, and keynote speaker. “I’ve played for a tremendous amount of political and Hollywood or media type people,” Lloyd said. “Also, for just hundreds of corpora- tions, everything from Kraft Foods “ We try to spice it up with some music, entertainment, jokes; it’s just a new twist on how the information is presented.” to Merrill Lynch to Ford. You just get an array of corporations from your Fortune 500 all the way down to your local businesses, and I’ve been a mainstay in that arena just because I’ve been able to incorpo- rate my music and personalize it so that it means something to the listeners.” Andrew is a real estate investor who specializes in creative finance and foreclosures. Andrew, Lloyd and their team have purchased prop- erties, both residential and commer- cial, in nine states over the past de- cade. These deals vary from fix and flips, rentals, multi-unit buildings, and even larger land development deals in Arizona and Texas. One of the biggest misconcep- tions about real estate investing is that “anyone can do it and that it’s a no-brainer,” Lloyd said. Realty411Guide.com “I think it does take training and seminars and exposure to strategies that increase your odds of being able to have more options or more exit strate- gies as you go through your investing career. So I think it can be fun, but it can also be painful if you’re not knowl- edgeable.” Andrew is also heavily devoted to the personal development industry, holding a life-coaching license. He has spoken on the stages of some of the biggest “law of attraction” mentors in the world, including Bob Proctor and T. Harv Eker. Both Mabreys have ap- peared on stage at Realty411 events. Presenting information about real estate investing or any other type of personal or business development can all too often be “dry,” Andrew said. “I feel like that’s one thing my dad and I get to do together is we bring a whole new dimension to the real estate PAGE 114 • 2014 presenting arena,” he added. “We try to spice it up with some music, entertain- ment, jokes; it’s just a new twist on how the information is presented.” Lloyd considers himself a master improvisational artist, so at times the presentations can be pleasantly unpre- dictable. “The only challenge with Lloyd is that we don’t have anyone
to replace him…our guests love him…. He is that talented
and truly one of a kind,” said Jay Linderman, previous general manager of the Famous 3 Forks Ranch in Colorado. v Receive information about self directed IRAs plus a free gift by visiting online: http://uselfdirect.com/re411 The Mabreys are available to speak for your company or organization, for availability please call (970) 260-3348. reWEALTHmag.com
