Rob
Bonahoom |
Mortgage
Coach Rob Bonahoom offers a unique approach to lending.
His goal is to help build real wealth for every client
he has the pleasure of serving. His mission statement
reads "We help regular people build wealth through real
estate and effective mortgage planning". Through interviewing
thousands of investors, buying and managing 20 investment
properties of his own, and constant study of real estate,
Rob has created his "Blue Print for Wealth Building
Model" and teaches every client the "8 stages of wealth."
Rob also offers monthly seminars designed to showcase
his proven techniques for growing wealth through real
estate and mortgage practices.
Ten years ago and fresh
out of St. Cloud State University with an accounting
degree, Rob became intrigued with real estate. Working
as a controller for a large local restaurant, Rob started
planning his vision to invest in real estate and decided
that the best way to learn would be to become a full-time
real estate agent. Much to the surprise of family and
friends, in 1995 Rob left the security of his salaried
position to pursue his dream. After cutting his teeth
as a real estate sales agent for two years working seven
days a week, Rob was exposed to the mortgage side of
the business. The beauty of the mortgage business to
Rob was that it allowed him to focus on his love of
numbers, but unlike his accounting job, the mortgage
industry gave him unlimited potential to control his
own destiny both financially and personally.
With a quest to deliver
unsurpassed service, in September of 1997, Rob and his
wife Michelle started their own mortgage company. For
seven years, they served thousands of families. Capital
Investment Mortgage Inc, taught them the key principles
required to run a successful mortgage practice. Two
years ago, they were blessed with their first child.
At that time, they decided that Michelle would stay
home to raise him. Since then, they have had a second
son. With Michelle having a lot on her plate on the
home front, Rob decided he needed a new partner. Cornerstone
became the perfect fit. Cornerstone offered Rob things
that a small company could never have. Ability to lend
in all 50 states, FHA approval and access to hundreds
of lenders. They also fund and underwrite their own
loans! Never again would Rob have to wait on anyone
but his own company to a get loan closed. It was like
going from driving a Ford Escort to a Ferrari! Rob is
very excited about how this new partnership will combine
his core values for running a successful mortgage business
with Cornerstone's powerful tools that will allow him
access to the best loan programs on the market today. |
