Andrew CordleAndrew Cordle, the founder of Financial Momentum began in Real Estate just over ten years ago. His first rehab was the spark that ignited Andrew’s passion for flipping.

His average profit was around $55,000 per home, and his record profit was just over $272,000 on ONE house!! During this time, Andrew was offered a Nationwide Reality TV show in 2006. His multi-million dollar company had grown to over 30 full time employees. Read More→

Albert Lowry

Dr. Albert LowryEpitomizing the saga of “rags to riches”, Dr. Albert Lowry has risen to become America’s premiere authority on real estate investing. Starting with no money, a desire to succeed, and a great amount of common sense, he pursued his dream. Within a very short time, he mastered the real estate market and began creating concepts and techniques that are the backbone of the “Lowry Formula”.

Al spent his childhood in orphanages and foster homes. Working in a variety of jobs from sheet metal laborer to butcher, Dr. Lowry realized how much he wanted financial independence.

He obtained his real estate license and began to sell property. He soon came to realize that the properties could be purchased with no money down. He bought duplexes and triples and did the routine maintenance himself.

Dr. Lowry bought more property and expanded his method to include leveraging, rehabilitating and exchanging his investments. Read More→
