Cheyenne, WY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE From Foster Care to Financial Freedom: Thurman Robinson Marks Birthday with Paperback Memoir Release, Spotlighting AI, Real Estate Triumphs, and Philanthropic EmpireAtlanta, GA – August 27, 2025 – Today, on his 37th birthday, Thurman Malik Robinson, M.S.—acclaimed real estate investor, Chief Financial Officer of APPS, LLC, certified life coach, and professional tax preparer—unveils the paperback edition of his groundbreaking memoir, From Foster Care to Financial Freedom: My Journey with AI as My Guide - Empowering Personal Transformation, Real Estate Investing, and Smart Financial Decisions. This release builds on the book’s digital debut in July 2025 across Amazon Kindle (https://www.amazon.com/Foster-Care-Financial-Freedom-Transformation/dp/B0D9YJ5V3H), Apple Books (https://books.apple.com/us/book/from-foster-care-to-financial-freedom/id1758962947), Lulu (https://www.lulu.com/shop/thurman-robinson/from-foster-care-to-financial-freedom/paperback/product-5z7n2g.html), Barnes & Noble (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/from-foster-care-to-financial-freedom-thurman-robinson/1147649665), and other stores, where it entered pre-sale mode. The memoir remains on pre-order for its third format, offering readers an inspiring blueprint for overcoming adversity through AI-assisted financial strategies, credit mastery, and real estate ventures.Born August 27, 1988, Robinson’s story is one of resilience, from foster care in Los Angeles to earning a Master’s from Virginia State University and honing skills at Walt Disney World and Haus of Basquiat. Over a decade, he mastered fix-and-flip projects in Atlanta, managing budgets, contractor negotiations, and unforeseen challenges like cost overruns. Dubbed a “Renovation Rockstar” by Think Realty Magazine in its September/October 2019 issue (https://online.flippingbook.com/view/586359/80-81/), Robinson’s innovative use of AI for generating precise credit dispute letters, negotiating 0% APR periods, and building business credit profiles sets him apart. His methods include establishing installment loans, lines of credit, hard money loans, net 30 trade accounts with Dun & Bradstreet, and securing consistent limit increases—transforming financial hurdles into tax-efficient growth opportunities.Robinson’s credit expertise empowers investors to bypass traditional funding barriers, optimizing returns in volatile markets. His portfolio diversifies into cryptocurrency trading, memecoins, and an innovative Oklahoma investment: a dispensary doubling as an art lounge, club, and restaurant. As CEO of Assertively Promoting Philanthropic Services (APPS, LLC), he drives initiatives in financial education, health & wellness, and social entrepreneurship. Expanding his vision, Robinson leads APPS HOLDINGS WY, INC., an innovative tech solutions firm announcing a next-generation AI platform for business efficiency and customer engagement, slated for fall launch. The nonprofit APPS Corporation and NAPPS (National APPS Philanthropic Services) further his mission, providing transitional housing, supportive services, and community outreach inspired by programs like Section 8, Public Housing, and Permanent Supportive Housing—addressing income limits tied to Area Median Income (AMI) for low-income families, veterans, and those with disabilities.Central to Robinson’s success is mentor Lorraine Beato, a trusted “shark” in real estate and author of Flip the Switch: From Real Estate Agent to Real Estate Investor (Paperback, $19.99 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Flip-Switch-Estate-Agent-Investor/dp/B086FW87TC). Featured in Think Realty’s “Renovation Rock Stars: Portugal” (https://thinkrealty.com/renovation-rock-stars-portugal/), Beato renovated her inherited historic property, blending legacy with innovative designs. Their partnership began at a 2016 Think Realty event, leading to Robinson’s first flip: a 3-bed, 1-bath Atlanta home bought for $57,000, renovated for $53,000, and sold for $162,500—yielding a 52% net ROI in under six months, as chronicled in “Renovation Rockstar: Atlanta Flip” (https://thinkrealty.com/renovation-rockstar/). “Lorraine saved me from losing thousands,” Robinson recalls. Beato, Atlanta WREN chapter leader and Lifetime Million Dollar Club member of North Atlanta Metro Association of REALTORS®, adds: “This project exemplifies a ‘Renovation Rockstar’—helping a new investor kill it on ROI.”Beyond investing, Robinson’s GoFundMe sales funnel (https://www.gofundme.com/f/foster-care-to-financial-freedom) supports publishing and outreach. His Medium blog (https://medium.com/@masterkingmalik) and AI Journal on WordPress (https://thurmanmalikrobinsonaijournal.news.blog/2025/07/26/demystifying-ai-beginners-guide/) share insights on AI, housing equity, and corporate power.

Think Realty Magazine featuring Lorraine Beato and Thurman Robinson – Renovation Rockstars | Editorial Staff | 14 Aug 2019

When real estate entrepreneur Lorraine Beato spoke on a panel at Think Realty’s 2016

#Youtube

When real estate entrepreneur Lorraine Beato spoke on a panel at Think Realty’s 2016 event in Atlanta, GA, little did she know that the young gentleman wearing a red cardigan asking to apprentice with one of the panelists would turn out to be one of her first flipping mentees. Thurman Robinson took an affinity to Beato at the Think Realty event, and he has stayed in touch with her since. In summer 2018, Robinson wanted to be part of a renovation project and before he invested $25,000 into someone else’s project, he turned to his trusted advisor who he affectionately calls his “shark.”

“Lorraine has saved me from losing thousands of dollars,” Robinson said.

Determined to start on his real estate investing path, Robinson brought a potential deal to Beato. She reviewed the details and told him she didn’t feel the numbers lined up nor were necessary questions answered. Beato told Robinson she would help him acquire his own deal and she would mentor him through his first flip.

“This project is a prime example of a “Renovation Rockstar” because I took a young, new investor and successfully helped him flip his first home! Plus, we killed it on the ROI,” Beato said.

After their profit split, Robinson walked away with a 52 percent net return on his out-of-pocket investment in less than six months. Not bad for a newbie — or any investor!

“The next time you attend a Think Realty event, you never know who you are going to run into or what you can learn. Had Thurman not stood up in the front of that room and asked to intern, he may still be looking for his first project or sunk his $25k into someone else’s project and possibly not made any money,” Beato said.

Come to Think Realty’s Atlanta event this month to meet Lorraine Beato and others as they share their experience and knowledge in everything real estate! Get your ticket here.
