About Mike Lathigee

Mike Lathigee has spent the last ten years rebuilding his reputation after the collapse of his last company.

Mr. Lathigee has transactional and business development experience in Canada, China, and the United States. While still attending college, Mr. Lathigee created his first company: Student Rentals, in 1989. Student Rentals was engaged in the business of importing container loads of appliances direct from the manufacturer in Korea and renting them to university students.

Years later, in 1998, Mr. Lathigee co-founded of Bargain Castle, a chain of ‘big box’ discount retail stores with several hundred employees. From 1999 to 2003 he served on the Board of Advisors for l-800 Got Junk. This company grew from a single outlet in Vancouver to an international franchise operation with hundreds of operators worldwide and is now the world’s largest rubbish removal pick-up Service Company. From 2000 to 2001 he served as Director of Olympic Resources, a TSX listed oil exploration company. 

From 2006 to 2008 Michael Lathigee served on the Young Entrepreneurs Organization Board in Vancouver as Membership Director and under his leadership the Vancouver Chapter increased its membership to the most members in its history. YEO is located in over 300 Chapters in more than 50 countries worldwide.

From 2009 to 2015, Lathigee served as Chairman and CEO of Highmark Realty Partners where he acquired sixty-eight properties which are all sold profitably with investors receiving strong yields. He is also the Chairman of Adventure Combat Ops, a Las Vegas Entertainment Facility offering virtual combat activities to Las Vegas Tourists and locals. Investors involved in this project receive back all monies invested plus a steady flow of cash flow payments.

Mr. Lathigee eventually decided that others might benefit from his business experiences. Over the years he has developed as a dynamic speaker and educator who has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people — either “one on one” or from the stage to hundreds, and sometimes thousands, at a time. Mike has also spent a considerable amount of time working within and analyzing opportunities in high yield investments. Mike has considerable knowledge and experience with two major online payday lenders, Mogo and New World Lenders. Both have created opportunities for steady returns for Mike and his investors. In Mr. Lathigee’s personal life, his passion lies with an animal rescue foundation he founded and oversaw from 2004-2009. He was the Chairman of the United Animal Resource Foundation from 2005 to 2008.

The Foundation focused on the humane treatment, and sometimes rescue, of captive animals. Though he terminated the Foundation when he moved to Nevada, he looks forward to rebuilding a charity focused on the protection of animals. Since 2009, Mike Lathigee founded and oversees the Investment Club of America as principal operator and educator.
