How did you build your portfolio?
Hi everyone!
I recently bought a two family and plan on acquiring another property (3-4 unit) no later than February 2021.
My question to everyone is, how did you build your portfolio? How big is it? How many did you acquire a year? How did you obtain the capital to keep buying properties?
I listen to a lot of podcast and do a lot of reading, but all I read/listen to is people who went from 1 to 100 units in 2 years or stories about how someone randomly met a mentor who gave them/ loaned them money. To me that is not realistic to the average person.
Thank you!
