635: How an "Average Joe" Can Build a Multimillion Dollar Rental Portfolio

Building a rental property empire isn’t easy. Whether you dream of owning five, ten, or two hundred rental units, there is a way to get there—you just need to know what it is. It took Sam Primm seven years to figure out the smartest way to invest in real estate, and now he’s here to share it with you! Sam, like many people, didn’t hate his nine-to-five job but knew that being on some else's schedule wasn’t bearable for the rest of his life. Sam partnered up flipping a few houses here, buying a few rental units there, and wholesaling for some extra cash. Three years into his real estate side business, Sam took the leap and went full-time into investing. Since then, he’s been able to buy over $20M in real estate, totaling his portfolio to a whopping $40M. This may seem unachievable to the average real estate investor, but Sam makes it clear that he isn’t special and is just a regular guy buying rentals. Through his real estate tenure, he’s been able to define exactly what the average investor needs to do to scale their real estate portfolio. His “SCALE” system isn’t complex, but it will help you double, triple, or quadruple the amount of real estate you own in a very short amount of time.
