Though only in her thirties, Natalie Cloutier has built a nine-million dollar real estate portfolio with just eight properties . Her secret to success? The “build-to-rent” strategy that so many real estate investors won’t even consider. Most investors feel that the building process is too complicated, expensive, and requires too much effort to be worth the time. But what if this “build-to-rent” strategy allowed you to create your own profitable deals , make massive amounts of equity, and build wealth even in a highly competitive market ? After her parents shared their secret strategy to build wealth , Natalie realized that building rentals, not buying them, was her ticket to financial freedom . But how could she get started? She was a fresh college graduate with no money to her name.
