Mike Butler
While working his full time job as an undercover police detective in Louisville, Ky, Mike Butler began his real estate investing career by buying fixer uppers and renting them to make extra money vs. working “off duty” jobs like most of his police buddies. Mike discovered very quickly how powerful investing in real estate could be for his family and quickly exploded his real estate business by buying 2 rental properties every week while working his full time job! Mike knuckled down and developed his amazingly simple and safe “push button ”Investor Books Pro" as the rock solid foundation to build his empire and to deliver true financial freedom for his family. His proven, simple and safe system allowed Mike to safely catapult his real estate business. In fact, he owned and operated over 75 properties before making a huge decision to hire a “part time” office help to work 5 hours per week.
Mike Butler has NEVER gone to a bank to buy an investment property nor has he used a private lender or hard money lender! He started investing with less than a thousand bucks!
Now Mike Butler works when he wants to – as a Dad, an investor, speaker, author, lender, coach and trainer. His investing success has been featured in Money magazine, "Can Real Estate Make You Rich?" The Wall Street Journal Radio network and numerous radio shows, and his book “Landlording on Autopilot” made the #1 Best Seller Book on business on Amazon and has become the training manual for thousands of landlords and property managers.
Mike Butler enjoys training millionaires and future millionaires and is a highly sought after featured speaker and trainer at real estate seminars all across

"I have been on many investor cruises with Pete and his wife Barbara. These two dynamic duos are genuiine, sincere, "the Real McCoys" about helping investors avoid getting ripped off and scammed. On top of this, Pete Youngs will show you some jaw dropping short cuts leaving other so-called experts CLUELESS. He’s like the Energizer Bunny as he encourages "no-holds barred" late evening sessions. Even if you have no intention of ever picking up a hammer, Pete’s information and training will cause you to show contractors back home how to do things the right and do it for a lot less time, money, and effort."
