About Michael Breedlove:
Michael Breedlove is the owner of Good Shepherd Home Buyers and has been investing in real estate since 2017. After nearly 20 years in pastoral ministry, he transitioned into full-time real estate investing in 2024.

His investing experience includes fix-and-flips, the BRRRR strategy, long-term rentals, and short-term rentals. He currently owns and self-manages a portfolio of long-term rentals and a short-term rental in Destin, Florida, with a particular focus on sourcing off-market properties.
A husband of 14 years and father of five, Michael has built his business around relationships, creative deal sourcing, and recognizing opportunities others might overlook.

Of his last 21 deals, 12 came from leads generated with $0 in marketing spend. In fact, he completed his first seven deals after transitioning to full-time investing before spending a single dollar on marketing.
Michael will be sharing practical strategies for finding off-market opportunities, leveraging relationships, and sourcing deals without relying on a large marketing budget.

If you've ever felt like you need to spend thousands of dollars every month on direct mail, PPC, cold calling, or paid leads just to find deals, this meeting is for you.

Come learn practical strategies you can start using to find more opportunities while keeping your marketing costs low.
