Frank McKinney - The Maverick Daredevil Real Estate Artist

Frank McKinney: Real Estate "artist"; super hero meets Robin Hood, 2-time international best-selling author (with 3 more books released 2.13.09); philanthropist, 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), McKinney was fortunate to earn 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 higher education, Mr. McKinney 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, Mr. McKinney founded his first real estate investment company and bought his first $50,000 fixer-upper, selling it a few months later for a $7,000 profit.

Now, 23 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, including the creation of the world's first $100+ million spec home.

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.
