Biography

Dwan Bent-Twyford, America’s Most Sought-After Real Estate InvestorTM, started as a broke, single mom who had been fired from Denny’s. Now divorced, having no formal education, and no job skills, she was at a major crossroad in her life.
After licking her wounds, Dwan made one decision that changed her life forever: She decided that she was not going to raise her daughter in the daycare system. She had waited until she was almost 30 to have a child and planned to be a stay-at-home mom. With that dream now shattered, she set out looking for something she could do from home and raise her daughter herself. As fate would have it, she discovered real estate investing!
She began as a naïve rehabber who thought rehabbing and decorating were the same thing. Having cleaned-up and painted her first property she soon realized she possessed no further rehab skills and the property was still a mess: Everything was ugly and outdated. With no money to hire help, Dwan began taking The Home Depot “how to” classes and finished her first rehab herself. She sold that property four days after it was completed, made $22,000 on her first deal, and never looked back!
As she began flipping and rehabbing foreclosures she discovered that some of the properties had no equity. Curious, she started calling banks to see if they would take less than what was owed on some of the foreclosures she was finding and to her surprise the banks said YES!
Realizing she had uncovered an industry yet to be built, she quickly trademarked the term “Short Sales®”, wrote the very FIRST training program on short sales (way back in the early 90’s) for real estate investors, and helped found this money-making segment of the real estate investing industry. That discovery dubbed her the term “Queen of Short Sales®” and helped her climb to the top of the real estate investing industry.
Having flipped over 2,000 deals and trained countless students, Dwan is well qualified to show you the ropes as well. She has written two best-sellers: Short Sale Pre-Foreclosure Investing and How to Sell a House When It’s Worth Less Than the Mortgage.
She now heads up “The Investors Edge University” – A company that specializes in training new and seasoned investors in a wide range of real estate investing techniques through live workshops, weekly webinars, a membership site, seminars, and much more.
She is a highly sought-after celebrity expert and has been featured on Fox & Friends, MSNBC, Naomi’s Good Morning, Colorado & Company, and hundreds of other TV, radio, and print medias.
She has also spoken on stages with Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, Suze Orman, Tony Robbins, and more! When Steve Forbes discovered what a hidden treasure Dwan was, he could not resist asking her to share her vast knowledge with you!
Her goal never changes – to make a difference in the lives of others! God Bless… For more information on Dwan Bent-Twyford, please visit her site at:
