His passion for Finance started back in University, realizing halfway through his English degree he loved business and wanted to help people make money and get out of the "rate race". A quick shift in direction lead him to his double Major (Eng. Lit & Econ). Upon graduation he began his career as a Financial Advisor completing his CFP designation and CSC course to facilitate Trading on the Financial Market. After a couple years he moved over to one of the Big 5 Banks were he worked as a Small Business Advisor and Commercial Banker for years which made him fall in love with the Lending side of Finances and all the opportunity it created people.
Seeing a huge miss in advice around mortgages and proper guidance, he got his Mortgage Broker License over 8.5 years ago to help as many people as he possible could.
With two daughters running around the house, a dog, a cat, and his amazing partner Sarah Boechler...life is crazy and oh so wonderful!
Mike is excited to talk on all things Real Estate, Lending, Economics, and try to make those topics WAY more fun then they sound!

Episode 25: Today we learn how Taylor Atkinson just made $1,675,000 in 7 years with a multifamily project.
Today we do a deep dive on one of Taylor’s multifamily projects. He purchased in Creston BC for $1,575,000 and sold in 2023 for $3,250,000. If you want to dip your toe in multifamily investing or make a giant splash… you need to listen to this episode.
Special note * Revised episode due to strategy changed to refinanced instead of selling. The equity take out was $2,050,000. So a great capital take out than the original purchase price just 7 years earlier.
