My First Multifamily Deal

Consider the first deal I did in multi-family..... 

I invested $350,000 to buy a $1.95 million, 48 unit complex. I can't lose my money as it is invested in the property. Because of leverage, I was able to buy a $1.95 million asset that produced $40,000 of positive cash flow a year while I waited for appreciation. 

39 months later, I sold the property $5.2 million resulting in a total profit before taxes of $3.7 million. That's a 10X return.

$350,000 Down     $1,950,000

Sold                         $5,200,000

Payoff Debt            $1,600,000

Remaining              $3,600,000

Cash Flow               $130,000

__________________________

$350,000 turned into $3,730,000

Today I oversee 7,068 units with a total of $1.5 Billion AUM.

Moral of the story......

To create wealth you can't just score once, you must be able to repeat it (this is the power of scaling).

Wow!  What an incredible return on your money. I love to hear stories like that and wish I was brave enough to tackle 48 units in one shot.  

Congratulations and thank you for sharing!
