Become a (Small) Multifamily Millionaire in 7 Steps

Small multifamily investing is what allowed Brandon Turner to reach financial freedom. This is why investing in duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, and even 24-unit apartment buildings can be a fantastic learning experience and money maker for new landlords. But how do you get started if you’ve never bought a property before?

Brandon and his co-author of The Multifamily Millionaire, Brian Murray, walk through the seven steps to go from real estate onlooker to small multifamily master. We talk about everything from defining your criteria, financing, management, lead generation, and more. If you’re looking to build a portfolio of small multifamily properties that will allow you to break out of the rat race and do more of what you love (which may be large multifamily), make sure you not only listen to this whole episode but get Brandon and Brian’s new book!
