Hey, I’m Steve Mills. I help real estate operators build freedom, not just portfolios.
For nearly two decades I was deep in the trenches of real estate.
Flipped 500+ properties. Managed general contractors. Negotiated deals.
Put out fires.
On paper it looked like success. Inside, it felt like a trap. I wasn’t chasing “sales.” I was chasing breathing room.
Freedom. Time. Options.
So I rebuilt the way I worked.
I stopped being the hamster on the wheel and started building a model that compounds deals without consuming your life.
It’s not theory. It’s the same lean framework I used to shift from single-family flips to $35M+ in commercial and multifamily deals — while getting my health, energy, and schedule back.
That framework is now FreedomStack OS.
And this newsletter is where I hand you the playbook and share my experience.
What You’ll Get Here
This isn’t another “10X” newsletter.
It’s a weekly briefing for real operators who want to grow from scarcity to abundance with a simple, proven model. The shift from operator to orchestrator.
Every issue gives you:
- How to jump from flipping to holding $2–$8M assets — without a big team
- Systems and partnerships that free up your time and increase your deal size
- Ways to protect your health, focus, and bandwidth so you’re not the bottleneck
- Real examples, numbers, and lessons from someone who’s actually done it
No fluff. No guru playacting. Just field-tested strategies and stories you can use right away.
Who I am off the clock
I live in a private little lake house on Lake St. Clair.
I work from home. I mountain bike. Lift weights. Boating.
Travel the country meeting other growth-minded entrepreneurs.I’m not interested in looking rich. I’m interested in being free.
That’s what I want for you, too.
