## Resource

Christian sits down with Ethan and Eddie to trace their journey from flipping couches and running an airport cleaning business during COVID to breaking into multifamily investing. They share mentorship lessons, partnership dynamics, and the grind that powered their growth.The episode breaks down their signature deal: acquiring an 11-unit with seller financing and bank debt, completing $290k+ in renovations to reach a $1.7M appraisal, cashing out ~$590k, and using that to help buy and reposition a 44-unit—taking their portfolio to 55 units while vertically integrating construction and property management.Key takeaways include cold-calling persistence, the importance of active income alongside appreciation-driven real estate, smart deal structuring, and learning from mistakes to scale responsibly.
