Three First Buildings, Three Different Starting Points

How Tanya bought12 units on her days off

A 12-Unit Bought Between Hospital Shifts

Tanya Brooks works three 12-hour shifts a week as an ER nurse. She mailed 300 owners on her days off, took 14 owner calls in six weeks and made three offers on the bank’s terms. Two owners said no and that was the end of it. The third said no, told her he wanted income once he retired, and agreed to carry a second note behind her bank loan. She closed on the 12-unit in Dayton with $27,000 down. “I kept waiting to feel ready. The first no is what made it real.”

4 Houses → 38 Doors

From Four Houses To 38 Doors In 14 Months

Luis Ortega owned four single-family rentals and was about to buy a fifth. Instead he made normal offers to two tired landlords in Indianapolis. The owner of the 14-unit took the bank-terms offer, and a partner put up half the down payment. The owner of the 24-unit said no, then agreed to carry 20% once Luis asked what she planned to live on. The two buildings now net $6,900 a month after debt service. “I was buying houses one at a time like it was the only way. It isn’t.”

“I thought you needed $100K to start.”

$4,200 Of His Own Money Into A 6-Unit

Derek Fields had $4,200 saved and a full-time job in logistics. He found a retiring owner in Memphis through a county records list and offered the bank’s way. The owner turned down a cash sale, agreed to carry 30% as a second note, and a former coworker lent Derek the rest of the down payment. “Every investor I knew said start with a duplex. I’m glad I didn’t listen.”

You’ve Run The Numbers On A Dozen Buildings. You Haven’t Made An Offer.

Most people who want their first apartment building are stuck in the same spot.

The bank wants 25% down on a $900K building, and you have $30K saved
You keep buying single-family houses because that’s the only deal you know how to finance
You’ve watched hours of seller-finance videos, but none of them say what to say when an owner says no
The buildings on Zillow and LoopNet are already picked over by investors with more cash than you

None of that means you’re not ready. It means nobody showed you the order to do it in.

The Normal-Offer-First Method

Three steps, in this order. Skip one and the owner never tells you what they really want.

01

Find the long-time owners

County records, not listing sites. Owners who have held a 5 to 30 unit for 15+ years and own it free and clear.

02

Offer on the bank’s math first

A plain offer the building can carry. It earns you a real conversation instead of a hard sell.

03

Turn the no into terms

When they say no, ask what they plan to live on. That answer is where the seller carry comes from.

Why Listen To Me

I bought my first building, a tired fourplex in Columbus, in 2019. I had $11,000 saved from a sales job, so I offered the only way I knew, on the bank’s terms.

The owner said no. When I asked why, he told me he and his wife lived on that rent, and a lump sum would run out. So I asked whether he’d carry most of the price and take a check every month instead. He said yes.

Since then my partners and I have bought 212 units across 11 buildings in Ohio and Indiana, and our students have closed on more than 140 buildings in 23 states.

On the call we look at your savings, your market and the first building that fits them. If the program would help, we’ll tell you. If it won’t, you still leave with the plan.
