About Mike Morawski

With over 30 years of real estate experience, Michael “Mike” Morawski has controlled over $285,000,000 in real estate transactions. Mike entered the real estate industry as a sales agent, building a team that produced over $20 mm per year in sales production. Following his success, he started a private equity firm, raising $18 mm in private equity, and acquired $60 mm in multi-family apartments, including 4,000 units in five different US markets.

Mike has always believed that transparency and honesty are central to any successful business and personal life. But when the 2008 economic crisis happened, Mike let his guard down and let his transparency slip.

As a result of his poor decisions, his company suffered while Mike faced wire and mail fraud charges, leading to a 10-year federal prison sentence. 

While reflecting on his losses, Mike used his time in prison to make a difference. He and his story positively impacted the lives of others both in and outside the prison walls. Now, after founding My Core Intentions, Mr. Morawski helps real estate owners, operators, and other industry professionals make wise, responsible decisions while continuing to grow their businesses and create a profit. He is also the host of the Insider Secrets Podcast and the co-host of Multi-family Unplugged Vidcast.
