Summary

Do you dream of ditching your nine-to-five and living off rentals full-time? Today’s guests did more than dream—they engineered their exit from corporate America and built a $10,000,000 rental portfolio in just FOUR years. And the best part? They did it without a ton of money and without swinging a single hammer! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Niti Jamdar and Palak Shah spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder before realizing they weren’t really building wealth. So, they set a clear goal—to leave their W2 jobs in just five years with real estate. They ended up crushing that goal, building a multimillion-dollar portfolio in just four years! If you want to scale your real estate portfolio fast, there’s arguably no better investing strategy than the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), which allows you to continuously tap into your equity to buy more rental properties. In this episode, Niti and Palak will share their “SCALE” framework, step by step, which simplifies this strategy so that even the greenest investor can understand it! In This Episode We Cover: How Niti and Palak built a $10,000,000 portfolio in just four years Growing your real estate portfolio faster with the “SCALE” framework How to create time, location, and financial freedom with real estate investing Tips and tricks for managing a successful rehab project from start to finish Leveraging commercial financing to scale faster than you thought possible Boosting rents with high-ROI renovations and tenant-friendly finishes And So Much More!
