Melvin Landry shows us how to reach financial freedom twice by first buying 62 rental homes while working full-time, only to lose 80% of them to a failed franchise effort. He and his wife survived, taking the high road by paying back a $1M+ loan (by selling off properties) and starting again. Melvin is a dedicated teacher, former athlete and passionate family man. Listen as he relates the need for a strong, positive mindset to weather the storms life can throw at you.
Melvin Landry started investing in real estate in 2005 and built up a portfolio to 62 rentals while working a W-2 job. I was doing this passively. Ended up selling 80% of the portfolio due to a failed business venture. Afterward, I decided to diversify and get into multifamily and, within 18 months, invested actively and passively in 12 apartment investing opportunities.
