One of the questions I ask my Mentees each session is--"What was your biggest problem this week?".

The number one answer by far is--"TIME". Life does not operate in a vacuum. When you add a new project--like real estate investing--it takes up your time. That time had been being used in other areas of your life. These new demands on your time may cause some problems unless you have a good system for handling your projects.

In order to achieve the things you want to do in life, it is important that you know how to effectively manage your time and projects wisely.

Mark your calendar and come and join the AREA Elite for the June meeting "Managing Projects".


What you will learn:

=> How to know you are always working on your most important projects

=> How to take better control of your time

=> How to stay ahead of deadlines

=> How to move several major projects along at once

=> To reduce stress

=> To have the freedom to do the things that are important to you

=> How to becoming and staying motivated

=> And much much more…

Mike literally “blew the doors off” with his “buying machine.” Mike was buying over 50 investment properties every year for years! But this is not the amazing part. Mike Butler bought dozens and dozens of investment properties every year while working his full time job. He started off with less than $1,000 and now his rental income EXCEEDS 1 MILLION Dollars every year!
Mike has NEVER gone to a bank to buy an investment property, nor has he used a private lender or hard money lender to buy with. Now what's really amazing is, Mike frequently gets ZERO % interest loans when buying investment property and gets them approved in less than 15 minutes!
Mike has been featured on “Money Magazine”, “The Wall Street Journal radio network” and newspapers. Mike has authored a #1 Best Seller Book “Land lording on Autopilot”.
What You Will Learn
--> Investing the right way
--> How to buy dozens of investment properties every year while working a full time job

About the Speaker
Mike Butler began his real estate investing career while working his full time job as an Undercover Police Detective in Louisville, Ky. Mike and his wife Tammy started their real estate business with about a thousand bucks and in a few short months, Mike was buying 2 investment properties per week while working his job and he owned and operated 75 properties while working his full time job.

Mike takes pride in he has never gone to a bank to buy an investment property and has never used a private lender either.

After discovering the powerful life changing benefits resulting from investing the right way, Mike knuckled down and developed his amazingly simple and safe “push button” 5M Wealth Autopilot System to deliver true financial freedom for his family. This system does it all! From wholesaling, flips, rehabs, land lording, buying discounted notes and mortgages, seller financing, subject to, IRA deals, brokerage with agents, and more and more!
Real Estate Wealth Auto Pilot System!
