Why Attorneys are like Doctors with Real Estate Expert Mike Ayala

TOP3SMALLBIZLEGALISSUES3-2 - The Legalpreneur

Mike Ayala is the co-owner of the private investment firm Four Peaks Capital Partners, the host of the Investing for Freedom podcast, and an all around real-estate ninja. Mike’s career trajectory, which began in plumbing, serves as proof that anyone can access and then thrive within the world of real estate investment. He credits his proactive approach to the legal aspects of his business as one of the keys of his success, and shines a light on how having multiple lawyers of different specialities in your corner will greatly aid your business in the long run. 

In this episode, we’ll cover: 

  • How Mike’s mindset helped him grow from having a career as a plumber to being an active real estate investor 

  • The legal details that Mike prioritized when beginning a partnership with his current business partner 

  • The benefits of having relationships with multiple attorneys

  • Why a full service business attorney is similar to your family practice doctor

  • The benefits of having an attorney draft your company messages instead of a PR firm.
