My first year investing in apartments, from 0 to 633 doors!

My wife and I have saved and invested in the stock market for 15 years. Tired of the up and down anxiety that the market was giving and is still giving me, I decided to make a goal to find out how to get in at least 300 doors. I joined a local apartment education and networking group here in DFW, and was able to meet a bunch of like minded investors, became a passive investor in 5 complexes across three states, and a key partner in a class A in Ohio, and am currently making offers of my own that I will syndicate to other investors. Currently invested in 633 doors, and want to be over 1000 doors by the end of the year. I am doing this full time and trying to retire my wife in the next few years. It is an exciting business, and provides passive income, and a better lifestyle, giving me the flexibility to spend more time coaching my girls soccer teams, and doing fun things as a family. Bigger Pockets has been a great source of motivation over the last couple of years as well. I listen to every podcast. It is all about the team that you surround yourself with. I'm always looking to add strategic potential partners to my team. Connect with me! Cheers!
