It's the People Behind The REAL Wealth Company That Make It So Unique

The 5 owners of The REAL Wealth Company came together as real estate investors in 2005 with a goal of leveraging their skills and unique abilities to create a profitable, values-based real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition of cash-flowing commercial real estate, including office buildings, apartment buildings, mobile home parks, and more!

In 2007, in response to student demand, we held our first live training - the Wealth Breakthrough Weekend - in Denver, CO.  Out of that training the Wealth Advisory Program(TM) was born and The Real Wealth Company followed shortly thereafter.

The goal of The Real Wealth Company is to provide active real estate investors the opportunity to come together with the Grassland Investments, LLC team to exchange ideas, offer encouragement, share best-practices and learn how to build wealth in a positive, ethical, life-affirming way.

Meet the Team

Roger Maupin has lived as an entrepreneur since returning from the Vietnam War to start his own electrical contracting business.  He began investing in REO houses during a market decline in his home town of Denver, CO and retired on his rental income soon thereafter. 

Now Roger has emerged from retirement (he got tired of golfing every day and he can only ski in winter....) to do something bigger with his life!  He's excited about making a positive contribution to his partners, students and the charities he supports, including the orphanages of Juarez, Mexico, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Robert Powell left the fast-paced, on-the-road lifestyle of an MBA Consultant to pursue single family home real estate investing in 2002.  After buying 40 rental homes and still struggling to find the cash flow to support his growing family, he began to look for other ways to invest.

That was when he bought a share in his first commercial property - a shopping center in Texas.  He moved his family to El Paso, TX in order to manage (and profit from) this exciting new investment.   An opportunity to buy a newly-developed mobile home park on a Lease/Option from the existing owner followed shortly thereafter.

Rob and his wife Leta now have property managers in place to oversee their holdings and have moved back home to New Mexico where they home school their 4 children and live off the income from their commercial properties.

Emily Cressey started her real estate investment career right after graduating from college in 2002.  After mastering creative financing and the rent-to-own business, she was hired as a real estate coach by the company that got her started!

Emily started investing in commercial real estate with the Grasslands Team in 2005.  Her first commercial deal was an office building purchased for $600,000 with nothing down, now worth roughly a million dollars.

In 2007, Emily wrote her first book on financial intelligence - Keep the Change - 25 Tips that Make "Cents" For Your Financial Future and began speaking to college students from around the country interested in improving their financial situation.  Emily is committed to using her story and experience to inspire young people around the world to start off on the right foot, financially.

Steve Maxwell left his high-tech corporate position in his early 40's as a self-made millionaire.   From there he got started in real estate investing and financing private notes as a hard money lender.  His first commercial real estate investment was Riverwalk Apartments, in which he invested along with Kelly Fabros.

As a member of the Grassland Investments team, Steve consistently distinguishes himself as a financial analyst and project manager. 

He has also begun consulting for Maximum Achievement - a corporate education company founded by Robert Maxwell, teaching the basics of financial education to the employees of Fortune 500 companies like Wal-Mart.

Kelly Fabros, a former cop from the mean streets of L.A., Kelly and her husband Ruperto are self-made millionaires.  Within a year after leaving her police job, Kelly had began investing in real estate and went after a $6M apartment building - Riverwalk Apartments - in Kansas.

Kelly's can-do attitude is a constant source of positive energy for all who meet her, and she thrives on helping others learn to realize their potential in business and real estate.  In addition to her own real estate investing success, Kelly and Ruperto have built a $20,000+/month cash flow through a direct marketing company.
