THE CARING HOUSE PROJECT FOUNDATION

“Many of us are fortunate and have been blessed with the ability to succeed not for our sole benefit, but in order to apply the results of our success to assist others.”
Frank McKinney

Combining his spirituality with his personal and professional activities is integral to Frank McKinney’s success in all aspects of his life. In 1998, Frank & Nilsa McKinney founded the Caring House Project Foundation (CHPF.org), a non-profit (501c3) organization that provides housing to desperately homeless families in South America, the Caribbean, Indonesia and the United States. The Caring House Project Foundation was founded on the premise that stability begins at home. Without the most basic needs being met, there is little hope. “When you strip it all down,” says McKinney, “I am in the housing business. For the past 8 years, we have not only provided the ultra-wealthy with the finest oceanfront estate homes in the world, but have provided the world's poorest with the most basic of human needs: shelter.” The Caring House Project’s current focus is in the countries of Haiti (poorest in the Western hemisphere), Nicaragua (2nd poorest), Indonesia, Honduras and here at home. In January 2003, the CHPF finished a village for 150 families in Nicaragua. In July 2003, the CHPF finished a village for 200 in Haiti.

Also at the end of his presentation McKinney will be autographing his books:

How You Can Go From a $50,000 Fixer-Upper to a $100 Million Mansion

With the business acumen of Donald Trump, the philanthropic nature of Bill Gates, and the energetic flamboyance of a rock star, Frank McKinney is no ordinary real estate baron. And that’s exactly his point. McKinney relishes his reputation as a maverick and his determination, vision, and risk-taking made him the leader in the luxury speculative real estate market. Now, in his second book, FRANK MCKINNEY’S MAVERICK APPROACH TO REAL ESTATE SUCCESS: How You Can Go From a $50,000 Fixer-Upper to a $100 Million Mansion (Wiley; January 2006; $19.95; Paper), the man whom USA Today called the “king of ready made dream homes,” shares the wisdom of his extraordinary twenty years of creating real estate markets where they had not existed before. McKinney offers his readers the knowledge, skills, and the you-can’t-stop-me now confidence they need to become the next maverick real estate success story.

Using examples from his remarkable real estate success, McKinney illustrates how to:

• Don’t just learn your market – create it!
• Locate (Location, Location, Location…or is it?)
• Negotiate/Buy (You make your money the day you sell, or do you?)
• Improve (Solid gold or gold plated?)
• Market and Sell, Sell, Sell!
• Build alliances. (Early in his career, McKinney took out a $2,500 personal loan that he didn’t need. He repaid exactly on schedule solely for the purpose of proving his credit worthiness.)
