info_outlineAs the CEO of Real Estate Done 4 U, Michael Drew has helped hundreds of investors worldwide achieve their retirement goals through strategic investments in rental real estate, utilizing Cash, IRAs, Mortgages, and 1031 Exchanges helping investors replace their W2 / earned income with RENTAL INCOME. With experience that includes over 1000 real estate transactions and extensive stock option expertise, he focuses on developing sustainable passive income strategies.
Michael's journey into real estate investment was driven by a critical insight: traditional savings and retirement accounts often fail to deliver the necessary growth to secure financial futures. After purchasing his first few rental homes, he recognized the unparalleled benefits of real estate investments. The steady stream of rental income not only provides financial security but also preserves the principal investment – the property itself. As living costs rise, so do rents, ensuring that real estate investments remain a robust hedge against inflation.
In his personal time, Michael enjoys traveling with his family of four kids, adventure racing, pickleball, skiing, and speaking at conferences. His passion for real estate and dedication to helping others achieve financial independence continue to drive his professional and personal endeavors.
As Michael often says, "Don't wait to buy real estate; buy real estate and wait."
