CO-FOUNDER

ABOUT MICHAEL

Michael Napper is the Co-Founder of For Real, LLC and Owner / Principal Broker of LIV Michigan Realty, LLC, a Michigan real estate brokerage. Michael is also the Managing Broker of Shift Property Management, based out of Grand Rapids, MI.

Michael is married to his wife Tara, who together, have 3 children and reside in West Michigan.

Michael has dedicated his life to real estate investing for almost 2 decades.

Out of high school, Michael found his gift was connecting with people and working with his hands. He worked for large commercial developer learning the trades of building, teamwork, and hard work.  

Taking a leap of faith, Michael dedicated his time to learning how to invest in residential real estate. At the age of 21, Michael purchased his first four unit residential property which kickstarted his entrepreneurial career.

Michael led a team of contractors from 2008-2013 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, turning several properties and building his own portfolio of income properties.  

Michael quickly crossed paths with Jorie who was the leader in REO listings at that time.

In 2011, Michael co-founded Shift Property Management — who is now one of the Top Rated management companies in Grand Rapids — housing over 200 properties.

Beginning in 2014 and running through 2018, Michael flipped condos off the Gulf Coast of Florida. He became a licensed realtor in Florida — where Jorie was his Managing Broker under the Aulston Group, LLC. Their relationship grew over the years with their constant communication and shared vision for the space.  

Jorie’s expertise in creative financing caught Michael’s attention — and in 2018, they began wholesaling off-market deals in Michigan. In 2019, together, they formed NA Capital Group, LLC, which today is For Real Financing, LLC.

For Real focuses on acquiring distressed assets — rehabbing properties and then selling them at prices that are affordable for the communities they serve.

For Real uses many creative financing techniques to acquire and sell properties in several states throughout the US and Puerto Rico. They have done 100+ transactions annually over the last three years and have accumulated a substantial portfolio of rental units and owner originated mortgage notes over the last three years.

For Real’s motto is, “Home ownership for everyone.” They live by the mantra of “Fast, Fair, For Real” and have leveraged Michael and Jorie’s extensive knowledge of creative financing to help create thousands of new homeowners.
