Brad is excited to have Mike Schraepfer on this episode of Property Management Mastermind. Mike is the President of Heirloom Property Management in Duluth, MN. He enjoys sharing his experience to help new investors find properties, solve financing, and work through renovations. 

 

Mike started his career as an investor eighteen years ago and built up a portfolio of 126 single-family homes and duplexes. He renovated the properties to lease, and his property management career began. Six years ago, he began managing properties for other individuals, but he is still his biggest client.

 

He manages properties that he owns, which makes him the property manager everyone wants to be. His business of management is running his assets, which puts him in the top tier, probably the top 1% of property managers in the country. His company doesn’t have a 401K for its employees. He decided to go a different way and teach them how to invest and manage properties, and as of right now, his staff owns about 25 units.

 

Mike is one of the speakers at the Property Management Mastermind Conference in March 2020. Listen as he reveals the topic of his presentation and a sneak peek of some of his key talking points. He will discuss how your company can benefit from bringing your maintenance in house and the best software to bring it all together and so much more.

 

Have you purchased your tickets yet? Don’t hesitate; Mike is just one of the many high-level speakers that will be at the event. Listen in for a small taste of what you can expect when a group of elite property managers get together in one place. If you already have your tickets, great!
