/

Nicole and Greg recently closed on a 272 unit building in Indianapolis. They have been corporate folks in Detroit for 20+ years. After surviving a few corporate layoffs (did I mention- they both worked in the auto manufacturing business) they looked for a better way to retire. They purchased a few single family homes and then invested in a few apartments; as a passive investor. They learned a lot from their multifamily mentoring and education group and decided to buy their own apartment building. After successfully navigating a smaller deal…they decided to purchase a 272 unit building- 4 hours from their home in Detroit. Nicole and Greg share their CHALLENGES they found before AND after they closed. Today, Nicole has retired from the RAT RACE and is now a full-time apartment investor. Great story!

Boris, Oshi, Albert and Leo are friends. These friends have purchased over 1400 apartment units over the last 5 years.

Recently, these EX-ENGINEERS are now full time apartment investors. WOW! Can you do that?
It was just a few years, while living in California, they wanted to invest in real estate but didn’t like their local rental climate (not landlord friendly) and discovered Texas. They started the traditional route of real estate investing by buying single family homes…and then transitioned into apartments for scalability. The guys go into detail on some of the challenges they came across (a failing two-pipe chiller, hot tenants & city inspectors) on a couple of acquisitions. They have had many successes in owning apartments. Listen to how they systematically purchase, operate and sell apartments to benefit their investors.
