What's up Wealth Matters Today
-
Not Synced
I've actually got somebody from our coaching program
-
Not Synced
Who's doing things that we dont usually teach too much
-
Not Synced
He's actually doing development
-
Not Synced
and he's doing it at 29 years old
-
Not Synced
with over $30 million dollars in apartments developed
-
Not Synced
His family actually built the number 1
-
Not Synced
rated resort in Oregon
-
Not Synced
which actually includes a golf course
-
Not Synced
so, i'm going to pick his brain today.
-
Not Synced
about developing amazing properties
-
Not Synced
because you guys know, I want to one day delevop
-
Not Synced
a golf course.
-
Not Synced
I got Dirk Vandervelde, whats up man
-
Not Synced
Hows it going Ryan, thanks for having me
-
Not Synced
Glad you came dude, this is exciting
-
Not Synced
to have a guy who's built a golf course on the show
-
Not Synced
well your family, youve been a part of it
-
Not Synced
you've seen it firsthand
-
Not Synced
Let's jump right into that
-
Not Synced
Yea, I didnt build it myself
-
Not Synced
but I watched my father and mother do it.
-
Not Synced
My father was a European tour player
-
Not Synced
Mother was a schoolteacher
-
Not Synced
Big dreamers, always big dreamers
-
Not Synced
We grew up in the Netherlands
-
Not Synced
Once my dad retired from the European tour
-
Not Synced
his next dream was to build his own golf course
-
Not Synced
In their fashion, a European player and a school teacher
-
Not Synced
who are big dreamers, they partnered up
-
Not Synced
with one of their best friends
-
Not Synced
and they built what is today actually
-
Not Synced
this year got voted the number 1 resort
-
Not Synced
in the Pacific Northwest
-
Not Synced
and whats that resort called?
-
Not Synced
its called Tetherow Resort
-
Not Synced
so, they built the actual course on there
-
Not Synced
the resort itself, it's mainly just hotels or do people live there?
-
Not Synced
Yea, they live there. Its a beautiful golf course
-
Not Synced
You'd love it. Scottish link style
-
Not Synced
Dave Mclay Kidd, he designed it
-
Not Synced
It's a membership base, people live there
-
Not Synced
it's on a 720 acre piece of property
-
Not Synced
there's members that live there year round
-
Not Synced
and there's 50 hotel rooms
-
Not Synced
boutique beautiful hotels, restaurants, rec center
-
Not Synced
as well as vacation rentals
-
Not Synced
How are the economics of all that
-
Not Synced
because like you said, your dad is a dreamer
-
Not Synced
he grew up like literally playing golf
-
Not Synced
professionally, so he knows what that's all about
-
Not Synced
and Oregon is a beautiful spot
-
Not Synced
How do you decide to just go build a golf course
-
Not Synced
and a hotel along with it?
-
Not Synced
My dad always jokes, hes a developer by default
-
Not Synced
So, when we first moved over from the Netherlands, 2005
-
Not Synced
He finished his European tour playing
-
Not Synced
then he coached for the Netherlands,
-
Not Synced
so he became a coach, coached the Dutch Federation
-
Not Synced
took them to a world cup, they won the world cup in Golf
-
Not Synced
said "okay, that's a big accomplishment what's next?"
-
Not Synced
So he wanted to start a golf course
-
Not Synced
So he came over, we used to vacation
-
Not Synced
From the Netherlands, in central Oregon
-
Not Synced
Its a destination town, beautiful place
