Rob Van Winkle might be best known for his cheesy 90s rap songs, but the former music star has a new passion – real estate. It is now known if ‘Vanilla Ice’ is a license real estate agent, but he believes that he has what it takes to instruct novices to success in the property market. In all actuality, Van Winkle has actually made more money by selling multi-million dollar properties than he has by selling records. Not only was he able to score a TV show on a popular home and garden channel, he has also been able to survive drug abuse and a tumultuous temper, all things to the real estate industry.
Van Winkle might be an unlikely candidate for a real estate mogul, however, he has two things to his advantage. First, Van Winkle made the bulk of his fortune in the early 1990s when real estate prices were low. Secondly, Rob had genius financial advisers. Instead of spending his money on lavish parties and a huge wardrobe, he saved and planned for the future.
Many years have passed since Van Winkle first got into the real estate business, and the fact that he still is holding onto properties is a good sign for his future students. His online portal will features hints, tips and even full fledged classes for anyone that wants to make money by buying and selling real estate. He may not be Donald Trump, but there are certainly a few things that Van Winkle can teach to real estate newbies.
