As I was interested in starting my SFH business, I actually interviewed this guy (a couple of years before his empire crumbled) to find out how he was able to build what seemed like a nice empire. 

Hello from the Inland Empire!  

I have the capacity and passion to help you build your empire!

And before the entire spectatorship of his death—all obstructing walls have been torn down and the great figures of the empire stand in a ring upon the broad, soaring exterior stairways—before all these he dispatched the messenger.

I know it's hard to be patient, especially amid so many thrilling stories of other people's real estate empires and success.

New to this want at least a 12% return a year on money 1% rule and to cash flow 900+ a month duplex. Those oops are there but is student housing a better opp? What markets? Looking to make the best real estate invest...

Did the successful person build an empire with a million in  yearly revenue?

It is easier to manage multi-units at the same address vs. single-families all over the world.Many people have been successful by re-financing properties, but I don't play that game because when things go bad your empire falls like dominoes.

Having a partner who is there to back you up thru thick and thin, and likewise you are there for them ultimately makes more people happier than real estate empires. 

This is definitely a game changer in growing my multifamily empire.
