Mike Acord
Michael Acord is considered by many as one of the greatest real estate information trainers in the country. He is a real estate investor, licensed real estate agent, mortgage debt buyer, and the former “mobile home king” of Utah.
In 1989, Michael began his real estate career the hard way: after buying a real estate home study course from a late night infomercial. Over the years, he’s learned the ins and outs of successful investing. His philosophy: “Don’t take a square peg and jam it into a round hole; let the market dictate your investing style, don’t force it. That’s how investors get hurt.” During his trainings, Michael refers to himself as the “House Whisperer”. He believes that if you listen to the problems of the property, the property will tell you the “right way to buy it.”
In November of 2009, Michael celebrated his 20-year anniversary as a real estate investor. In his 20 years, he has seen markets climb and fall and he knows how to make money in both. He has bought, fixed, flipped and sold homes; bought rentals; bought and sold seller financed homes; bought and fixed mobile homes; taken property “subject to”; bought real estate and mobile home notes; lease optioned homes; optioned real estate; and has been involved as a principle or partner in mixed use and commercial real estate. He isn’t afraid to discuss his failures because he knows his failures have helped thousands of students avoid his same mistakes.
Michael understands that real estate is a business and it needs to be treated like a business. He has started several real-estate-related and investment companies, some he’s kept and others he’s sold along the way.
Michael is considered one of the “Grandfathers” of real estate coaching. In 1995, he was one of the founding real estate coaches for what is now called PEI. Over the course of his career, Michael has successfully coached several thousand students through the process of investing in real estate and helped many realize their dreams.
Today Michael enjoys spending time with his wife, two children and three dogs.
