About the Author - Robert Feol
International speaker, author, and radio personality Robert Feol is considered by many to be one of the youngest, most up-and-coming real estate investors and motivational speakers in the real estate industry today.
Feol’s maverick approach to real estate acquisition and financing and uncompromising attitude towards integrity and full disclosure based method of real estate investing has earned him numerous accolades, including having New York Times best selling real estate author Robert Shemin stating that Robert’s radio program is “the best real estate investing radio program in the United States.”

In 2009, Robert created and trademarked through the United States Patent Office “The Short-Term Retirement Program” (www.ShortTermRetirement.com), a ground-breaking real estate purchase system that allows any investor, regardless of nationality, to take advantage of private financing and aggressive amortizations to build a strong real estate portfolio and have it paid off in as little as five years.
For over nine years, Robert was the host and founder of Pieces of the Puzzle: Journeys in Creative Real Estate Investing, the number-one weekend talk radio show on 990 KWAM—“The New Voice of Memphis” with listeners around the world. Its main focus is real estate education and understanding how to meet one’s goals of financial freedom.
Robert has also distinguished himself with high accolades and awards across a variety of disciplines, including graduating as a triple major from Syracuse University; obtaining a master’s degree from one of two all-deaf colleges in the United States, where all his classes were taught in American Sign Language; having five black belts in various martial arts systems, and currently holds a blue belt in Brazilian Jujitsu.

Destiny isn’t a chance, it’s a choice. — Robert Feol
Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all-time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
