Have you considered investing in real estate, but don't know where to start?


I have three great options for you…

house stacking, small multi-family, and large multi-family!


Today I'll touch on what I call "House Stacking."  Just like it sounds, you'll buy one house after another, and stack them up into a nice portfolio.  But how do you accomplish this?

Most people can't just go out and start buying up homes.  Even if they could buy one or two, that's it - and that's a small stack.

What's the secret here?

While most people can't buy up extra houses, they *can* buy one house to live in.  Then, after a year or two of living in that house, they can sign up a tenant to lease it, and buy another house to live in.  A year or two later, repeat the process again, and you have 3 houses in 2-4 years...

Depending on your life situation, you could easily build up a portfolio of 5 homes in 8 years - or less.  And once you have that kind of equity under your belt, you could start to scale up to buildings of 4, 8, even 20+ units.

Sounds pretty simple?  It is fairly simple, but the effort and obstacles are in the details.  Because of this, we are developing a step-by-step, self-paced course to help you through the house-stacking process.  If you are interested in being an early tester, let me know!

Or, if you're ready to go right now, as a few of our clients are, just reach out and I'll walk you through the process personally - I am very happy to help our clients on their wealth building journey!

Next time, we'll get into small multi-family properties.  Stay tuned!
