The Repeatable “Stack” Method to Buy Rentals Faster (and with Less Money)

Episode • Feb 3 • 34m

One of the most repeatable, scalable ways to build a real estate portfolio is using “The Stack” method. This investing strategy allows you to slowly scale your real estate using low-money-down loans, turning one down payment into multiple properties. It’s one of the smartest, safest ways to build wealth, but it’s almost been forgotten. Today, we’re talking to an investor reviving “The Stack,” using it to build an eight-rental real estate portfolio starting with just $15,000.

Like most investors, Connor Anderson had barely enough money to close on his first house, a condo. He scrounged together just $15,000 to buy his first property and immediately began to rent out the other rooms. But this was just the beginning for Connor.

Over the next few years, Connor slowly turned the rent savings from that one condo into a single-family house, a duplex, and now a fourplex, which he is still house hacking in. The best part? Those properties he used to live in are now cash-flowing rentals WITH equity, which he has used to buy more properties. This is “The Stack” method done the right way, and if you want to safely, slowly, and steadily grow your rental portfolio without a ton of money, this is how to do it.
