We were lucky to catch up with Deven Wohlwend recently and have shared our conversation below.

Deven, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Parents can play a significant role in affecting how our lives and careers turn out – and so we think it’s important to look back and have conversations about what our parents did that affected us positive (or negatively) so that we can learn from the billions of experiences in each generation. What’s something you feel your parents did right that impacted you positively.

My parents integrated me into their business. They were constantly teaching me about business, and the importance of being creative and taking action. Eventually, I just gained a natural interest in business and investing. In fact, at 5 years old, I bought my first investment. I bought my first house at 7, and published my first book at 11. All of this was possible because they helped encourage me, teach me, and inspire me to do more.

Deven, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Deven found a way to invest in what he knew when he was only 5 years old. By the time he was 7, he started purchasing real estate. At 11 years old, he published his first book about his successes and setbacks: If I Can Do It, So Can You! How I Started Buying Real Estate at Age 7! At 15 years old he published his second book, The Garage with Mark Victor Hansen. He achieved the #1 best-selling author the 2nd day it was available. He continues to buy more properties and currently controls over 40 units. He became an accredited investor before he could drive. At 16 years old he published his second bestselling book, The Fall and Rise of Atlas Gold. He currently Co-Hosts the Real Power Family Radio Show. For more information visit www.RealPowerFamily.com

Can you talk to us about your experience with buying businesses?

My most creative deal was where I bought 20% of a 60 unit complex for $20. I found someone that wanted to get rid of their half of a large complex, and yet he wanted to keep the depreciation write-offs (tax benefits). We worked out a deal where he could keep those benefits, and I could get the building.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

Always doing what I say. If I say I will do something, it will get done. If I promise something, I always follow through. If I sign a contract, I never back out. If something goes wrong, I take full responsibility and find a way to fix it.

That has been a major contributing factor to how I have built my reputation in business.
