Mike Makredes’s Bio
Mike Makredes is from Fresno, California. He has been in sales all his professional life, and currently working in the Ag industry for the largest melon, broccoli, and corn grower in the US. He handles sales for over 12 million cases ($150 million) of produce per year. What brought him to Chris and the Smart Real Estate Coach team was the thought of getting out of the rat race and into a business that he can control on his terms.

The obstacle Mike had to overcome in order to embrace his path as a real estate investor. How Mike and Brian were able to learn the real estate industry fairly quickly and how the Wicked Smart Community was pivotal in learning how to be the experts they are today. How Mike and Brian would compare starting a real estate business to other conventional businesses. Brian and Mike explain how there is no ceiling when it comes to having a real estate business compared to having a full-time job. Brian’s Resources:
