I’m assuming he went to a top school based on his drive, which lead to his IB career and subsequent high salary which afforded him the ability to buy real estate.
Right, he stacked up his money and said fukk those cacs and got out of corporate America
Great story. But this is really all it comes down too. It takes money to make money. His bonuses at goldman sachs were large enough for him to buy his 1st 3 or 4 properties cash. That's the key to everything. That means instant equity and leverage. Goldman bonuses are known to start well over 100k a year can be even over 200k. He was on the path of being a millionaire in under 10 years just by saving his bonus money and doing nothing. Investing it in real estate just got him there faster. One might argue simply investing his bonus money all in amazon or tesla stock or even crypto like eth over the past 5 years would have him wealthier than he is now.
