Decades of EXTENSIVE EXPERTISE IN FINANCE AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Executive Leadership Team
Lee Arnold is a real estate investor, developer, trainer, international speaker, and best-selling author, who has spent years perfecting the real estate investing and private money lending process.
As CEO of several multi-million-dollar enterprises and the chairman of several private equity funds, Lee has facilitated billions of dollars in real estate transactions across the country as a buyer, a lender, and a consultant.
His current success is the result of rebuilding after he lost everything in the real estate market crash of 2008. Prompted by that experience, he and his wife founded He’s The Solution Ministries, a global nonprofit that helps entrepreneurs live out the truth that God is the CEO of all—and to host the annual Be Bold For Jesus conference. The conference provides discipleship training to Christians from all around the world to Be Bold For Jesus. #BB4J
