Ross takes us through his initial steps in real estate, starting with small multifamily properties in the Midwest. He shares valuable insights into the decision-making process, financing strategies, and the importance of learning from podcasts, books, and audiobooks during the learning phase. We explore the challenges and successes of his early investments, including the decision to invest in the Midwest due to lower entry costs.
As the conversation unfolds, Ross delves into the transition from corporate America to full-time real estate investing. He explains the importance of scaling, leveraging resources like 401(k) loans, and the role of third-party property management. Ross also discusses his foray into house flipping, the lessons learned from the first flip, and how he built a successful flipping business with a reliable crew.
