Dwan Bent-Twyford: How Do You Earn Six Figures in Six Months?

Описание: Dwan Bent-Twyford is one of America’s most recognized real estate investors and educators, known for turning a $75 setback into a multimillion-dollar career. We spoke about how losing her home and car as a single mother became the catalyst for a 35-year journey and over 2,000 completed property deals.


Her approach begins with empathy, not transactions. “People before profits,” she said, describing how she focuses on homeowners in distress—those facing foreclosure, divorce, or loss—rather than chasing market trends. Dwan teaches students to “stop thinking about the deal and think about the person,” offering free options first, such as loan modifications or short sales, to build trust and long-term opportunity.


She warns newcomers against “shiny object syndrome” and stresses finding mentors whose “moral compass aligns with yours.” For beginners, she suggests wholesaling—“the path of least resistance”—as the simplest way to earn while learning. Financial freedom, she reminds us, “is not just about money—it’s about being able to take time for your family.”


This episode offers a grounded, no-fluff look at building lasting wealth by leading with compassion and practical action.
