If you want financial freedom faster, you need to stop buying rentals and start buying rental portfolios.
Most people have never thought about it. Instead, they slowly build their rental portfolio to 10 or (at the most) 20 units. And while we love the slow-and-steady approach, Jose Martinez is doing something much more—buying 10+ unit portfolios in a single transaction. He only needed a few “deals” to reach financial freedom.
No risky creative financing or buying a bunch of $50K houses in the middle of nowhere. Jose’s portfolio rakes in steady rent, and now he’s a full-time real estate investor. And he did it all in just four years—starting in 2022.
Two secrets helped him do this so quickly: the right mentor and the right financing. A lucky run-in at the gym changed Jose’s entire life forever, but you don’t need luck to use his financing strategy. This often-overlooked strategy has allowed Jose to use equity from other properties to buy bigger deals, often putting down less than 5%!
