In this episode, Sam Kwak shares his incredible journey of going from 0 units to managing 75 rental units within the first year. As a coach, author, entrepreneur, and ½ of the famous Kwak Brothers, Sam is passionate about helping others get a head start in their real estate journey. With his fair share of bootstrapping and figuring out things along the way, Sam’s story is a testament to the power of staying curious, finding mentors, and taking action rather than waiting around.

Learn more about why diversifying your portfolio and experimenting with different forms of investments might just land you exactly where you need to be.
