Bill Gatten is a one of the few true “in-the-trenches” creative financing teachers who actually practice what they preach. A highly successful real estate investor and much sought-after national speaker, Bill’s most recent book (of many on the subject) is the very comprehensive, humorous and irreverent: “Making it BIG in Creative Real Estate and Keeping it…This Time,” a 500 page compendium of all aspects of seller-carry, no-down, no-credit-needed, no-payment creative real estate financing, featuring the dynamic “Equity Holding Land Trust(tm) System” — the PACTrust ™ and NEHTrust(tm).
Educated at the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Bill’s 45 years of work experience are in sales training, real estate investing and institutional banking (former co-owner and founder, Westlake Bancorp; and the former president and CEO of Gatten Financial Services, Inc. and Markay Equipment Leasing, Inc., Thousand Oaks, Ca.).
