More about Mike:

Mike Seidl has been a successful private money lender since 2017 when he started partnering with and lending his personal capital on projects to experienced residential fix-and-flip real estate operators. In 2021, Mike was approached by a good friend and fellow business owner about deploying his money for him. He was looking for a safe, reliable return on his capital. Since then, the company has placed investor capital in loans as small as $15,000 and as large as $2,400,000.

Mike's first job after studying economics at New York University was at a residential facility for sexually and physically abused kids. He has also managed a group home for adults with Intellectual Disabilities. As well as serving as a mental health worker at a psychiatric hospital. This experience helped him gain a good understanding of human behavior. That, in turn, helped him start, with a partner, grow and build his first company, providing medical alert systems, which they sold to a public company ten years later.

After taking five years off, Mike started his second business in the construction industry, focusing on property damage repair. This company was sold in 2017 after being built into one that completed 300 +/- yearly jobs. Mike's goal is to start and self-fund a nonprofit focused on kids who "age out" of foster care and government facilities. The emphasis will be on experience-based training in mindset and how the brain works physically and psychologically, as well as hands-on training in finance, banking, nutrition, exercise, and entrepreneurship.
