How many properties do you own?

I own 20 properties equaling 95 units. All done in 3 years. Purchased my first investment property on December 2020!

@Anthony Freeman Hey Tones, would you paint a sign on your back for identity thieves in order to impress strangers? This is a Google-searchable open forum.So the only people who brag about how rich they are on BP are gauche AF and/or trying to make money off you one way or another. Stick around, read between the lines, and you'll figure things out soon enough. I don't even have a car, by the way. Just put me down as a broke-a$$-broke wannabe. I won't get offended.

@Steve Garcia - HELOCs and housing hacking combined with a strong W2. Also, partnering on larger stuff to get over the DTI hump since I acquired so quickly. If you send me your email, I'll send you a slide deck that I presented at a local meetup going over the strategies I used to scale so quickly.

Clearly no one has ever tried to steal your identity yet.

@Jim K. - I disagree, you can live in a mindset that everyone is out to screw you or that everyone has the best intentions. I choose to live my life thinking the best of people. Yes, it may screw me from time to time but it's a better way of living than thinking the worst of people. Just my two cents.

@Joe S. - I own 95 units across 20 properties. I syndicated 65 units or 12 properties as a GP recently and the remaining 30 units or 8 properties, I own by myself or with partners. I own about 100% of 25 units.

@Andrew Freed that is awesome and definitely a position I want to be in. Is there any particular strategy used for obtaining financing as you scaled?

@Andrew Freed do you mind sharing your slide deck with me? Thanks

This. The number of properties is irrelevant anyway, since 100 crappy houses in the Midwest can be worth less than 1 house in LA.......
