About Michael Fitzgerald

Michael Fitzgerald planned on importing products from China and selling them in the United States. After his first deal, and a chance meeting, he switched to real estate and has since built a multi-faceted empire.

Michael had no money to invest in real estate, so he had to be creative. His first several deals were all different types:  Subject To, wholesale, even developing farmland with $0 down. Along the way, he has become friends with people all around the world. Currently Michael is involved in city-state partnerships where he actually gets the government to help finance his projects!

Michael’s story is as unique as it is inspirational. He proves that you don’t need money to build a real estate business. You just need to get going. Connect with Michael on Instagram or Facebook. 

Show Notes

Steve asks Michael how he got started in real estate, and they explore many concepts for how people can start. One of Michael’s emphasis is that you don’t need to know how to do everything, or have any money. Just start and learn along the way. 

Top 5 Takeaways from Michael:

5.  Review every potential deal. You don’t need to know how to do a deal to get started. Figure it out, learn what you need to learn, and keep moving forward.

4. Take care of the people you work with. Honesty and commitment, along with fulfilling your obligations even if you could get out of them, will benefit you in the long run.

3. Never stop marketing. Too many people market, get some business, then stop marketing while they work on those deals. Once those deals are done, they have nothing in the pipeline because they stopped marketing. 

2. If something bad happens, don’t let that stop you from doing more deals.
