    Mr. Land Trust’s® Bio
    Randy Hughes started life out on the wrong side of the railroad tracks. His father was an alcoholic and left his mother to raise four children on a clerk’s wage. None of his relatives owned their own business . . . everyone worked for wages.
    Mr. Land Trust® knew that there MUST be a better way to live. He began buying single-family homes for rental while in college. After college, he tried many different types of businesses. He always came back to the Single-Family Home as the IDEAL investment. Since purchasing his first rental house in 1969, Mr. Land Trust® hasn’t looked back!
    Today, Mr. Land Trust® has purchased more than 200 houses. He has lived a life of having nothing and will not let that happen again. His primary goal now is to teach others how to break the cycle of poverty.
    Mr. Land Trust® teaches real estate investment courses throughout the United States. He has been an expert witness in the California and Illinois court systems on Land Trust issues.
    He has been a licensed Continuing Education Instructor for the Illinois REALTORS® for 25 years. Mr. Land Trust® also speaks to real estate investment clubs throughout the United States.

    Jared Gruccio - Advice to Thrive - Website: advicetothrive.com | Phone: (609) 833-7386 | Email: jg@advicetothrive.com
