Mike Callaghan

Co-Founder of The Four Leaf Companies

Mike Callaghan is a co-founder and Managing Partner of The Four Leaf Companies, a national portfolio owner and operator of manufactured housing communities. Achieving double-digit organic occupancy growth every year since its 2010 inception, Four Leaf’s real estate portfolio includes over $300M in assets, over 1300 manufactured homes, and a $20M loan portfolio.

Callaghan founded Four Leaf Companies along with longtime business partner, Kevin Shaughnessy. Their manufacturing housing portfolio now includes over 7000 units and 24+ properties across four states. In 2014, the partnership grew to include Matt Nelson, an industry expert, focused on acquisitions.

The partners rapidly expanded, forming a separate manufactured housing mortgage loan company (First Choice), an insurance servicer for manufactured housing (Smart Choice), and an asset management company supporting property portfolio growth (Asset Management Partners).

With his focus exclusively on the manufactured housing sector, Callaghan is making Four Leaf Properties one of the most forward-thinking and fastest growing manufactured housing companies in the industry. The collective companies (loans, insurance and asset management), operating under The Four Leaf Companies banner, earn them a strong reputation in portfolio acquisitions while still demonstrating superior operational capabilities.

Prior to founding The Four Leaf Companies, Mike Callaghan was CEO of Opus Group, a consulting firm he co-founded. The group sold to Verint Systems (NASDAQ:VRNT) in 2005. Prior to that, he managed new store build-out and development for Tiffany & Company.

Mr. Callaghan started his career as a Supply Corps Officer in the U.S. Navy. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Marketing degree. He attended the Naval Post-Graduate School in Athens, Georgia.
