0 to 54 units in 12 months

Hey guys,

I am a full-time real estate investor from Montreal, Canada. Almost 3 years ago, I started flipping single-family houses and subdividing land on a part-time basis. One year later, I was able to go at it full-time along with my business partner. To date, we have completed over 20 transactions. 

In September 2016, my partner and I decided to keep flipping, but to focus most of our attention on buying rental properties in order to build sustainable long-term wealth.

Fast forward 12 months later, we went from 0 unit to 54 units with a little over 1.7 million dollars in equity (along with 3 million in mortgage).

The key is simple: You just have to do it. Take action! Nobody else will do it for you. Everything you buy should ideally be off market, and you have to be very careful with your calculations in order to buy properties that will surely yield great returns. If you analyze the right way, you will decrease your risk drastically. 

No we are not rich, and we used OPM (other people's money) to complete all of our purchases.

If we could do it at 28 years old, so can you!

Let's go!!

G

@Guillaume D.

You mentioned the best deals are the ones off the market. I would love to know how you're getting your deals?
