Lamontis Gardner: 我从2020年开始接触房地产投资，当时由于疫情影响，我失去了工作，这促使我寻找新的收入来源。我阅读了《富爸爸穷爸爸》，这激发了我对房地产投资的兴趣。2021年，我与合作伙伴合作，购买了我的第一套房产，这套房产的成功让我获得了可观的利润，并为我后来的投资奠定了基础。此后，我不断学习新的投资策略，例如直邮营销，并与高利贷者合作，这使得我能够快速扩大我的投资规模。我主要进行房产翻新和出租，并专注于为单亲家庭提供优质住房。我目前拥有19套出租房，去年完成了5次房产翻新，我的月租金收入已经超过了我的全职工作收入。我计划在未来继续保持每年约20笔交易的规模，并专注于业务稳定和系统建设。我的动力来源是我的家人和为租户提供优质住房。 Henry Washington: Lamontis Gardner 的故事非常励志，他通过兼职房地产投资在四年内积累了19套出租房，并取代了他的全职工作收入。他并没有使用花哨的方法、高风险的策略或持续的冷电话营销。他从大约3万美元起家，仅仅四年时间就拥有了19套出租房，并且还在不断增长！在疫情封锁期间，Lamontis 有了更多的时间和较少的工作，他知道他需要停止仅仅依靠他的 W2 收入来维持生计。当然，《富爸爸穷爸爸》这本书也落到了他的手中，房地产投资的兴趣就此开始。从那时起，Lamontis 把一笔失败的交易变成了一个机会，从一位业主那里购买了三套双联住宅。问题是？他只有三分之一的钱。是时候合作了！在第一笔房地产交易中获得了六位数的股权收益后，Lamontis 知道这就是他的方向。从那以后，他一直在购买出租房、翻新房屋，并尽其所能将资金再投资于房地产，同时还在做他的 W2 工作。现在，他已经取代了他的 W2 收入，但即使在 2025 年高利率、“艰难”的房地产市场中，他仍在继续扩大他的投资组合。想要做同样的事情吗？复制 Lamontis 的策略！
