Mitch Stephen has been in the real estate game since 1996 with over 1500 deals under his belt. He specializes in strategies regarding owner financing where he buys houses with other people’s money. He’s the author of My Life & 1,000 Houses: Failing Forward To Financial Freedom where he tells his origin story, his struggles and failures, and how he eventually came out on top in the end. He also offers classes to help them get to the same level he’s at or better, having experienced going out on his own the first time and having his butt kicked.

Today, Mitch tells us all about his different strategies on raising private money and finding deals, the many technologies that helped him propel his business to new heights, and his genius tips for those who want to get started in real estate.
