"Sensei" Sean Gilliland of Southern California, founder of Gilliland Real Estate Network began his investing endeavors in 1995. Since that time, Sensei has created cash through wholesale real estate, obtained wealth through rental properties and continues to teach his methods through workshops, seminars and club meetings helping people to achieve their financial dreams.

 As a young karate student, he became heavily involved in martial arts competition during his high school and college years.  Before long, Sensei received the honor of being ranked one of the top three martial artists in the United States for six years straight.  His first year out of high school Sensei opened the doors to his own martial arts school, and to this day owns and operates several schools from which he continues to teach actively. 

Through martial arts Sensei has learned the discipline it takes to channel his energy toward achieving personal goals.  He has taken the qualities to become a top ranking black belt and funneled them into becoming a successful real estate entrepreneur.

After purchasing his first home, Sensei quickly realized the benefits and potential profit that could be made by purchasing more properties, so he began his real estate training.  Sensei now had a new passion, and quickly became educated in the real estate investing world.  With all of the new knowledge he acquired, he started flipping properties (buy and sell) to create cash and transferring that cash over to long term investment properties (buy and hold) to create wealth. But Sensei had found himself like all other investors using the same techniques and tools to create deals. So like an athlete in a competitive sport, he trained and pushed himself to a higher level using cutting edge techniques to stand out from the other investors. Sensei has now mastered the art of buy, sell and hold techniques making him the “Black Belt of Real Estate”.  After attaining his first goal of making one million dollars in real estate, he decided to begin teaching others using his simple, yet effective methods.  For years now, Sensei has been helping people create cash and obtain wealth by passing on his wisdom of real estate investing.
