Summary
John Chapman shares his real estate investing journey, starting in 1989 in the Pullman area. He began investing in rental properties to secure his family's financial future and has since grown his portfolio to over 85 units. John emphasizes the importance of property management and customer service, as well as staying current with technology to streamline operations. He also discusses the learning curve involved in building rental properties, including zoning and financing considerations. John's key advice for new investors is to start with a duplex and live in one unit while renting out the other (house hacking). He also highlights the benefits of networking and finding off-market deals. Looking ahead, John plans to continue managing his properties and eventually pass them on to his children.
