Tommy moved to the US in the early 80´s without any cash under the name Pierre. He pops up in San Francisco in the 1987 still broke but under Thomas or Tommy. By 1988, Tommy owns at least one commercial property in San Francisco, near Fisherman’s Wharf. In Oakland he managed to secure a few real estate deals with producer Drew Caffrey (1931–1999) Drew Caffrey paid to "The Room" full production , $6 mill but AFTER his death.
By 1996, Tommy owns several residential buildings and a restaurant.
He made the bulk of his cash selling and buying real estate.

Drew Caffrey was a real estate mogul but also a gay man. His prime interests later in life was young boys 18+. After the divorce from his wife and 3 x children in 1979 he moved from LA to SF to be closer to the gay scene there.
How he met Tommy Wiseau is anyone guess but they did partner up in one way or another there. Drew Caffrey had agreed to finance his film and ended up doing so posthumously.
Drew Caffrey even put him in his will and testament. How much Tommy Wiseau ended up with is also anyone guess….
Drew Caffrey was a know figure in LA at the time also. This was early 1990s. He was very active in 1996/97. Helping out young struggling actors with money in trade for sex. Young tan blond kids in their late teens or early 20s.
This is JUST me, its NOT confirmed but I suspect he died from AIDS in 1999. I vaguely remember hearing about this at one point.
