Yes, that AMA is Anton. The Yahoo article is a little misleading, and he does address that in his AMA. At the time written, it states he only owned 2 properties (He now owns 35).
He also wrote dealcheck.io – which I suggest checking out.
Anyway, it’s not just Anton who has been successful with real estate and particularly investment properties. His story sounds very similar to other stories I’ve read, and I am convinced my goal is feasible with hard work.
It certainly isn’t easy, and having initial capital helps (as he did).
Anyway, I spoke with my lender today and was pre-approved. I should clarify that I am looking at 2-4 unit properties, which I have learned means conventional financing works. I misspoke earlier and said 4-6 unit.
My lender informed me he has many clients that have gone down this path.
