This is when he started networking more, employed a different strategy and watched the calls start rolling in. Today, Mike has hired staff and improved his systems to be able to handle consistently doing 3-5 deals per month. As of now he owns 28 doors, and has completed 48 deals in his 3 years investing and now generates more passive rental income than he used to make with his 6 figure salary by taking on deals that others won't.

Listen in as we dig deep into what takes to survive and to thrive even after dealing with the toughest challenges in life.
