Michael Owen
Michael Owen is a licensed real estate agent in Texas. He owns and operates R8 Investment Homes. Together with his wife, they purchase houses that are distressed and at auction. Since they are able to obtain houses at a steep discount, they are able to sell them to their clients at a price much lower than market value.
In 2016, Michael and Thomas Detert also found Flip University which offers free content and training on how to do deals in real estate. Flip University provides detailed information on how to do FLIPS, wholesales, short sales, assignments and rentals. Some of the materials include webinars, online seminars, one-on-one coaching, and e-books. Their goal is to help people who want to escape the daily grind attaining financial freedom through real estate investing.
