Walked AWAY from corporate job after 1 year of investing

Last year, I created my first deal and purchased a four unit. My fiance and I house hacked a duplex, where the tenant pays the majority of our mortgage. And during this difficult time we were able to use an unique strategy to acquire an eight unit cash flowing 3x the debt service. Each of these properties were found on the local MLS, and two of the deals the properties were under contract and the deal fell through.

I am so pumped that I stayed true to my goals and analyzed properties everyday. It allowed me to be ready to jump on a deal when it one presented itself. Now, I am able to look over deals everyday and manage a portfolio of units. Yes, I am still working, but now I am completely working for myself. And, that feels good. This post is not to brag, but to share and maybe inspire the next person. A lot of stories on here have kept me going, so I wanted to pass it along. 

Obrigado (Thank you),

Charles Anthony
