After years of having one investment property he decided to ramp up his portfolio in 2016 buying into multi-unit residential housing, flips and RTOs. He grew his portfolio from 1 investment property to 10 properties in one year. He identified that strategically investing in duplexes in the Durham area, was the best and safest way to create positive cash-flow and passive wealth.
