About Michael Ketchen
I didn’t grow up with money. I didn’t have connections. I wasn’t born into real estate.
I was a teacher from a tough neighborhood who lost his father early and decided to bet on himself — and I built a portfolio with over $150 million in assets under management in under a decade.
I operate apartment buildings, multifamily, and luxury short-term rentals across multiple states. I run a property management company with employees. I coach serious investors. I speak across the country.Â
And I live by one belief:
Bet On Yourself.
When you operate like a professional, everything changes.
