Mike Butler – How He Got Started
Mike Butler grew up in Louisville Kentucky. While working as a full time undercover police detective, he acquired enough rental property to retire in only 5 years!
While buying a rental house in 1991, Mike Butler met Ed Melton Sr.. Ed introduced Mike to the Kentuckiana Real Estate Investors Association (KREIA). From KREIA and by also attending workshops and seminars, Mike Butler developed into a focused, aggressive real estate investor. Mike is proud that he is able to buy investment property without borrowing from banks. Mike Butler is still very active in KREIA today.
In order to grow safely and quickly, Mike Butler knew that he would need a good foundation. Mike explored many property management software programs to find one that could give his empire this foundation. Unfortunatly, none of the software programs existing fit the bill. Mike Butler decided to build his own – which he based on Intuit’s Quicken and QuickBooks Pro. The first two modules were called Tenant Tracking and Investor Books.
