21 years old and bought 7 units in 5 months
Hello I’m Cody Blackburn out of Columbus,Indiana I own and run my own painting company and have recently starting acquiring rentals... I bought a lot downtown Columbus to build a SPEC and before I even finshed building the house, it was sold.... then our personal house sold so we used some cash we had and bought 2 duplex’s and are currently living in one unit and renting the others. Then I had another local investor call me and tell me they were starting to sell some properties. A week ago today we singed the PA on a 3 unit building form that investor.... I am really really enjoying real estate way more than my painting business, there is so much less stress. So with that being said is there anyone that’s been in my shoes and when did you just make the switch from running 2 different business and focus 100% on the rentals. Thanks in advance everyone!!
