Buying a home and then flipping it or renting it isn't the only way to be a real estate investor. What if you could just find incredible deals on homes and then line up a buyer looking for a good deal to flip or buy? That's exactly what Mike DeHaan from the Collecting Keys podcast is doing, and it's the core of what wholesale real estate is. Mike started in real estate by hustling to complete a few flips and using the proceeds to buy his first rental properties. Eventually, he started to feel a bit burnt out though. Instead of flipping the properties himself, Mike decided to sell the right to buy the properties to other investors (aka wholesaling) and the rest is history. As of today, Mike owns over $12 million worth of real estate and has completed 300+ transactions.

Mike DeHaan shares his secrets for getting off-market deals in today's episode. Welcome to Pillars of Wealth Creation, where we talk about building financial freedom with a special focus in business and Real Estate. Follow along as Todd Dexheimer interviews top entrepreneurs, investors, advisers and coaches. Mike DeHaan started his working life in a typical fashion, going to college and by age 26 was making 6 figures at a cushy corporate job, but he was miserable. He jumped ship from the corporate world and gave up all his income with no plan and no concrete direction of where to go or what to do. He spent the next 2 years working side jobs, driving for Uber, and barely scraping by while trying a medley of different businesses. Ultimately this is what led him to becoming an Off Market Real Estate Investor (Wholesaler) beginning January of 2020 by joining a mastermind that gave him the coaching, accountability, and community to commit and take things to the next level. Three years later, Mike has hired staff and improved his systems to now have 11 staff members and is doing 7-10 deals per month on average. Their business model now is to keep the best properties they find and wholesale/flip the properties they don't want for the long term. As of now his rental portfolio consists of 55 doors, with an estimated value of just over $10m. 3 Pillars Marketing to off-market sales Systematization Personal health Book: The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss You can connect with Mike on Instagram @Mike_invests or the Collecting Keys podcast Interested in coaching?
