His late night infomercials featured Vu surrounded by luxury items: mansions, yachts, expensive cars and most visibly, collections of young bikini clad women. He promoted his free 90-minute seminar to learn the same secrets he used to make millions. As a Vietnamese immigrant, he presented himself as the classical ‘rags to riches’ story.
Vu’s investment theory involved finding “distressed” properties: foreclosures, bankruptcies, divorces, tax liens, and selling them at a profit.
Vu’s somewhat loose grasp of the English language and his use of beautiful models as backdrops made him one of the more humorous personalities of the infomercial genre.
Formerly of Longwood, Florida and later, California resident, Vu has retired from real estate and lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Wow, time flies, it was almost 20 years since I last saw this commercial on TV over and over again, so many times a day, and it lasted one hour every time. It’s good to see it again. Back then Tom Vu was great, businessmen rushed to hear his advices. Thank you for posting.

Hindsight here? …
Hindsight here? Real estate died long ago now with a surplus of homes not selling. Most who did not get involved in the real estate hype did not want to be the middleman who does a crappy job fixing up a home and jacks up the price way up. Real estate died and you’d be extremely lucky to make $70,000/yr. Seems to me someone wants the land price beyond affordable for the most amount of people since the days of Vu in order to keep competition out except for labor competition
