Mike has been investing in real estate for almost 20 years throughout Arkansas and Missouri while balancing a family and a full-time career in the Medical Device Industry. He has built a $6M+ personal portfolio across multiple asset classes, consisting of Single Family, Small Multifamily, Apartments & Commercial properties. Having worked in the family construction business, he gained experience in both doing the work and in project management. These skills served him well as he has completed many flips, rehabs and even a heavy lift, $7k per door apartment complex renovation over the last several years. In 2017, after years of informally helping people through advice, mentoring and sharing his knowledge of the business, he decided to formalize and scale those efforts to help other busy professionals realize the security and freedom that can be attained through real estate investing. He is achieving those goals through apartment syndication and has since been involved in the purchase of approximately 1000 units in Kansas, Oklahoma and DFW valued in excess of $60M. Besides educating and helping busy professionals work their way towards financial freedom, Mike enjoys being involved in local, national, and international mission work and believes “We are blessed, to be a blessing”.

Michael Green is a successful house flipper and the host of The Flip Factor, but at one point in time this success was just a teenage boy's dream. At the age of fifteen, prompted by late-night infomercials, Michael bought the book No Money Down by Carlton Sheets, which planted the seed of eventually becoming a house flipper. But the road to success wasn't always easy. Growing up next to the projects in Baltimore, Michael found himself getting into trouble, and his relationship with his dad was built on breaking the law. At 17, Michael found himself thrown into a paddy wagon with handcuffs around his wrists. Faced with a four-year jail sentence and a cold, uncomfortable prison cell, with terrible food, scratchy blankets and no freedom, Michael had a lot of time to think. He thought about how if his life up to that point were a house, it would be a broken-down, boarded-up house. His negative patterns and limiting beliefs had eaten away at his foundation like hungry termites. Michael could either continue these patterns and let his life crumble around him, or he could step up and fix it. So he got to work on his first flip – himself. Key PointsLessons from turning a 4-year jail sentence into a successful house flipping business Shifting your mindset to that of success and abundance Scaling down, rather than up, to grow your business Building a business that does 170+ flips per year Applying the 80/20 rule to find the best deals Lightning QuestionsWhat was your biggest hurdle getting started in real estate investing, and how did you overcome it? Analysis paralysis. Michael learned just enough to get started, and then learned as he went. Do you have a personal habit that contributes to your success? Michael plans out his next day, every evening. He finds that he is most productive in the mornings, so he plans out his next morning the evening before.

Cliff Hayden is a real estate investor, broker-owner of Altec Properties, and founder of https://showmetherental.com/ (ShowMeTheRental.com), a unique online service that automates the most difficult part of property management: finding and screening qualified tenants. Cliff knows the importance of finding the right balance of priorities in life, especially as a business owner. This quest for a more abundant life inspired Cliff to walk away from his fruitful career and into the often-chaotic world of real estate investing. After quitting his day job to pursue real estate investing as a career, Cliff found himself overwhelmed by the responsibilities of managing multiple properties, keeping the business running smoothly, and finding time for his family. As someone who's personally struggled with this juggling act, Cliff knows the emotional, mental, and physical toll it can take on real estate investors, property managers, or landlords — whether it's their full-time career or side hustle. This struggle was Cliff's impetus to develop ShowMeTheRental.com, which screened all his leads so he didn't have to. ShowMeTheRental.com takes all leads (phone, email, or text) and pre-screens them with customized questions, then arrange for qualified leads to see the home, follows up with these leads, and even takes care of the application process — leaving more time for property managers to work on the things that matter most, like spending quality time with their loved ones or growing their business.

Joe is a real estate investor, owner and consultant at Business Papers Inc., and the Founder of The Play Louder, finance, business and real estate consulting. He was a former executive producer/owner of an Emmy Award-winning production and post-production company, managing artist's careers, working on the world's biggest brands and investing millions of dollars in real estate. Currently, help others navigate their own personal and business adventures, and help maximize their financial potential. Also, Joe provides educational resources via his blog. Joe DiSanto spent his childhood riding BMX bikes, breakdancing, and tagging abandoned buildings, but the carefree days of youth wouldn't last long. By 13 he was working as a busboy, helping his recently-divorced mom put food on the table. A valuable lesson was learned: If you don't deal with your money, your money will deal with you. From that point on, he made it his mission to learn everything he could about making smart money moves. It paid off. By age 30, Joe had wiped out $70k in student loans, married the love of his life, bought his first house, and started his own post-production company in Los Angeles. During this time, he and his wife also transacted on over a dozen residential and commercial real estate properties. But nothing had more life-changing impact than the birth of their son. Joe's efforts are now focused on his educational blog Play Louder, where he uses the fiscal know-how amassed over his lifetime to help individuals and business owners navigate their finances, increase their net worth, and plan better for their future.

Life is a journey of self-improvement for some and self-sabotage for others. If you are listening to this show, you are obviously on a journey of self-improvement. This journey is one of constant improvement, with the goal of being better than you were yesterday – not better than your neighbor, not better than that internet personality, just better than you were yesterday. The basic tools you have in life are your body and mind. When talking about improving your body, we all generally understand the obvious need for good health through diet, exercise, rest, etc. Our bodies are a product of what we put them through, and what we put through them. We understand that fueling our body with good foods and exercising regularly are important to our health and longevity. But rarely do we give the same consideration to our minds. If comparing mind and body, the mind is a much more powerful tool. The average adult brain weighs 3 lbs, is capable of producing 23 watts of power, and is made up of over 100 billion neurons, and over 100,000 miles of blood vessels. All of that, and we watch cat videos on social media, gossip about celebrities we don't know and watch reality TV. Our minds are much like our bodies. They are a product of what we put into them, and how we use them, kind of like diet and exercise. What You Put In Is What You Get OutOur minds are like a sponge. What we put in them gets absorbed and stored. If you are constantly fueling your mind with good and positive information, then those are the things that make up your thoughts. If you are constantly feeding your mind with junk, limiting beliefs, and negative content, then those are the things that make up your thoughts. When you realize this, you begin to guard your mind against that bad input, and instead consume as much good content as possible. Here are just a few resources and ways I've found helpful to consume interesting and positive content. Podcasts. Of course, I had to put this at the top of the list. But you already know that podcasts can be a great source of information since you're listening to this podcast at this very moment. Podcasts have become the audio version of Google, with almost any topic imaginable being available at the touch of a button. Audiobooks. Audiobooks are a great source of knowledge and entertainment, and a convenient alternative to reading. Like podcasts, you can listen to audiobooks on the go – in your car, on your commute, while exercising, or just around your house. http://m/gp/product/B00NB86OYE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=jacob0ee-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00NB86OYE&linkId=100a9d2905599266aa7088bba0a33d55 (Audible) is a great audiobook resource that I personally use. If you've never heard of audible, and are interested in trying it out, there is a link in the show notes that will give you a free trial. I highly recommend it. Youtube. Youtube is the second largest search engine and the third most trafficked website on the internet with over 1 billion hours of content watched each day! Anything you can imagine is on Youtube. TED Talks. TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment, and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues. You can find TED talks on all kinds of interesting subjects, and these short talks are usually 15-20 minutes in length. While there are many studies that back up the power of positive thinking, that's not the point I'm trying to make here. You don't have to spend your days watching motivational videos and staring at your vision board. What I am saying is fuel your mind with new and interesting ideas, concepts, thoughts, and visions. Learn new things. Explore new ideas. Spend some time just thinking. When is the last time you sat down to just think? I don't mean sitting down and worrying about all the things you have to do, the bill you need to pay, etc. Rather, take...
