Mikey Taylor leads Commune Capital, where he primarily invests in storage units and multifamily properties. However, his path into real estate started in the skate parks. When he was 16 years old, his parents told him to get a job. He learned how to get sponsors to pay for his travel to skate competitions around the world and he was starting to earn an income. His mother introduced him to someone to help him build a financial plan. After his skating career was coming to a close, he and some friends built a successful craft brewery, Saint Archer, which they sold to MillerCoors in 2015. He then invested in some storage units and multifamily properties in what became Commune Capital. His success is built on his skills of courage, resilience, engagement, the ability to spot talent, and the magic of following up.
