Guest Bio-\\xa0

Mike DeHaan is a real estate investor and host of the Collecting Keys Podcast. He started out his career as an electrical engineer wearing a pair of golden handcuffs. Upon realizing he was deeply depressed and that the job, 6-figure salary, and perks that came with it didn\\u2019t make him happy, Mike walked away from the job with no real plan.\\xa0

After a short bout teaching himself to code and getting a job at a startup, it was clear that wasn\\u2019t going to work for him either. Mike started researching passive income and found REI. He liquidated his corporate 401k (paying the massive fees and all) and bought his first 2 properties in June 2018. By the end of the year he had bought another property, a duplex, and had caught the REI bug.

Today, Mike has hired staff and improved his systems to be able to handle consistently doing 3-5 deals per month. Their business model now is to keep the best properties they find and wholesale/flip the properties they don\\u2019t want for the long term. As of now he owns 28 doors, and he has completed 48 deals in his 3 years and now generates more passive rental income than he used to make in his 6 figure salary.
