Frank McKinney ~ Daredevil Real Estate Artist & Best Selling Author- Pt. 2 ~ Frank-McKinney.com

Daredevil Real Estate "artist" 5-time international bestselling author (with 3 new books just released!), super hero meets Robin Hood, philanthro'capital'ist, risk-taker and visionary who sees opportunities and creates markets where none existed before. Upon attending his 4th high school in 4 years (he was asked to leave the first 3), Frank earned his high school diploma with a less-than-stellar 1.8 GPA Then, at 18, with $50 in his pocket and without the benefit of further education, Frank left his native Indiana for Florida in search of what he would later refer to as his professional highest calling. In his first Florida job he earned $180 a week, waking at 4:00am, to dig sand traps by hand on a Deerfield Beach golf course.

On May 19, 1986, at 22, Frank McKinney founded his real estate investment company and bought his first $50,000 fixer-upper, selling it a few months later for a $7,000 profit. Now, nearly 25 years later, McKinney creates real estate markets where others dare to tread. He has built spec homes (homes built without a buyer) valued in the tens of millions of dollars. A true maverick with a charming flair, he is without peer in the risky world of speculative high-end real estate, shattering price records with each new project. And his latest? Mr. McKinney just completed "Acqua Liana," the world's largest and most opulent triple certified (USGBC, FGBC & Energy Star) "green" mansion at $24,300,000, and will soon commence another masterpiece, "Crystalina," a $30 million green home reflecting South Pacific influences. Each of the estate homes he creates is a one-of-a-kind work of art, infused with vivid imagination and designed on a canvas of sun-drenched Atlantic ocean.

Due to the overwhelming success of Mr. McKinney's first book, his first publisher, John Wiley & Sons, NY, contracted with him to author his second bestseller in 2006: "Frank McKinney's Maverick Approach To Real Estate Success-How You Can Go from a $50,000 Fixer-Upper to a $100 Million Mansion!" Frank McKinney is also a sought after speaker, is an ultra-marathon runner (footraces of 100+ miles) and an accomplished demolition derby driver. For over 12 years, His Caring House Project Foundation reachers out to promote self-sufficiency to the underserved regions of the world.

The Frank McKinney brand has captivated the media and public for a quarter century. His vision and risk-taking has been the subject of numerous international television, radio and print features. Frank was recently featured on ABC's 20/20 with Martin Bashir, the cover of USA Today, the Oprah Winfrey Show, CBS' The Early Show, CNN, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, HGTV, CBN TV, National Public Radio (NPR), in The Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Bloomberg, Fortune, Barrons, Town and Country, Robb Report, The Nightly Business Report (PBS) and in over 1,500 additional TV and print stories.
