Took awhile but we got it done! This is our second MF building after partnering on a 6 plex earlier this year. Excited to get working on the improvements!

Huge milestone today — we officially locked up a property under contract! 🙌This is exactly what happens when you stick to the strategy, stay persistent, and keep putting in the reps. More details coming soon — but for now, celebrating the win and gearing up for due diligence, operations planning, and investor communication.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you super grateful to get to be a part of this community and get to share the real estate adventure with everyone here! Also, Mentees: there is no Mentorship today. I'll see all of you on Monday!

I joined Multifamily Strategy in Q3 of 2022. Prior to year's end I purchased my first 14 units with 2 other partners, owner financed. In Dec of 2024 I bought a single family and empty lot, intending to flip. When the sell didn't go through, I pivoted to turn it into a rental and easily cash flowed. In January, I went full time self employed. I run my own engineering company and real estate. In March I bought a 6 plex. As of yesterday, I closed on a 5 plex with no money out of pocket. Currently buying a 38 unit Motel to convert into efficiency units. I've got another 25 unit apartment complex the owner is ready to sell to me, but I'm running out of capacity and liquid cash. Lessons Learned 1) Real Estate has easy concepts, but it's hard work. "Passive Income" is more like front-loading all the work. One day it may be fairly passive, but it takes a bunch of work to get there. 2) Take time to review. We know the why must be strong, but sometimes the day to day can obfuscate the why. I always appreciated the intentionality in this mentorship to choose a strong enough why. Mine is to own my time so that I can spend more time with family/friends/church. But what good is my time if I burn all the friendships as I try to pursue this goal? Going out on my own gave me a large chunk of my time back to me so that I can ensure I'm meeting the needs of those around me. 3)Double everything! Everything takes more money and time than what's expected. Bring more reserves than you think are needed so that you don't have to sweat as much when things don't go right. I'm in OKC, if you are close by, I'd love to grab a coffee.

Closed on another 12 units today!!! Started MFS 1 year ago with only one small single family house, bought my first 9 unit in March and now this latest acquisition brings the total to 22 doors (soon to be 23 once we finish adding a 10th unit to the 9 unit building). Thank you Christian for your mentorship and friendship. Could not have got here without this great MFS community!
