Manuj Aggarwal and Michael Green discuss on how to flip your mind to become a successful entrepreneur.

What are you waiting for? Tune In Now!

About Michael Green

Michael Green is a successful house flipper and the host of The Flip Factor, but at one point in time, this success was just a teenage boy's dream. At the age of fifteen, prompted by late-night infomercials, Michael bought the book No Money Down by Carlton Sheets, which planted the seed of eventually becoming a house flipper. However, the road to success was not always easy. Growing up next to the projects in Baltimore, Michael found himself getting into trouble, and his relationship with his dad was built on breaking the law. He started as a flooring installer, and in 2008, he was doing a job for a gentleman flipping houses named Jason Shara. Sensing his curiosity and interest in the industry, he invited Michael to a free meeting for house flippers. At this meeting, Michael was introduced to his first mentor. After just a few months of studying under his mentor, he made his first deal flipping a house for $16,000 without a single penny of his money. For the next year, he continued doing flips and made a total of $106,459, and in 2009 he was able to leave his full-time job and has been flipping houses ever since.
