About Mike Butler:

Mike Butler began his real estate investing career while working his full time job as an undercover police detective in Louisville, Ky. Mike Butler began buying fixer uppers and renting them to make extra money vs. working “off duty” moon light jobs like many of his fellow police officers.

Mike discovered very quickly how powerful investing in real estate could be for his family and exploded his real estate business by buying an average of 2.5 rental properties every week while working his full time job! Mike did this for several years over and over!
Mike Butler knew he must have a brain dead simple system for his booming business and developed his amazingly simple Investor Books Pro System™ with Tenant Tracking and Loan Customer Tracking (the only complete system for investors using QuickBooks Pro®) to deliver true financial freedom for his family.

His unique and proven system allowed Mike to safely catapult wealth for his family by investing in real estate. In fact, he owned and operated over 75 properties while working his full time job! Finally he made a huge decision to hire a “part time” office person to work 5 hours per week in his office in his basement.
Mike Butler has never gone to a bank to buy an investment property nor has he used a private lender or hard money lender. Mike started investing with less than a thousand bucks!
Now Mike Butler works when he wants to – as a Dad, a newly married hubby again, an investor, speaker, author, coach and trainer.
Mike’s investing success has been featured in Money magazine, The Wall Street Journal Radio network and numerous radio shows. He has authored the book “Landlording on Autopilot,” #1 Best Seller Business Books on Amazon. His book has become the “go-to-training-manual” reference for thousands of landlords and property managers around the world.
Mike Butler enjoys training millionaires and future millionaires and is a featured speaker and trainer at real estate seminars all across America.
