Michael Drew: How to Invest in Single Family Homes WITHOUT the Hassle

Today, I welcome Michael Drew to The Gould Mine. Michael is the CEO of Real Estate Done For You, a full-service real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition, renovation, and management of distressed single-family assets in the Indianapolis market. His firm offers a completely hands-off real estate investment solution, allowing investors to own income-generating properties without the headaches of day-to-day management.

In this episode, Michael and I dive into some of the tax-advantaged strategies that allow investors to deploy their 401(k) and IRA funds into real estate instead of keeping them locked up in traditional stocks and bonds. He breaks down how self-directed IRAs work, the key differences between traditional and alternative retirement investment strategies, and how investors can maximize returns while minimizing tax liability.

We also take a deep dive into why Indianapolis is the ideal market for his investment model, discussing the macro and micro demand drivers that make it a stronghold for cash-flowing properties. Michael shares his insights on property selection, tenant retention, and how his vertically integrated business model ensures quality renovations, reliable property management, and long-term stability for investors.

Finally, we run the numbers - covering projected returns, cap rates, and the real financial picture for investors looking to participate in his system. Michael’s strategy fills a critical gap for those who want to invest in real estate but don’t have the time or expertise to manage properties themselves.

Welcome, Michael, to The Gould Mine.

Looking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments? You’re in the right place.

If you’re new here, my name is Danny Gould. I’m the founder and CEO of Gould Capital, a private equity firm specializing in exclusive commercial real estate and other alternative investments. We connect investors with elite opportunities - investments that aren’t public, aren’t cookie-cutter, and most importantly, aren’t what your financial advisor is pitching.

Here’s how I got here…

1) Started as a pre-med student at Stanford University, but a lifelong dream of building the biggest hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip ignited my passion for real estate.
2) Transitioned to residential real estate, driving over a quarter billion dollars in sales, and became an industry leader in one of the most competitive markets in the world.
3) Decided to finally pursue my Hotel dreams and founded GMS Ventures alongside two experienced Hoteliers, with a total Hotel Portfolio Size of over $300M
4) Leveraged my expertise and relationships to build Gould Capital - which empowers investors to access transformative commercial real estate deals and alternative investments.
