543: 100+ Rentals, $40M Portfolio (Here's How He Did It)
Description
Blake Yarborough started acquiring rentals in 2009 when everyone else was running from the market, and built his way to 100+ properties and $40 million in real estate. In this episode, he breaks down the leveraged financing strategy he used to scale fast, how he structured 15-year notes to protect himself against rate resets, and why he self-manages instead of handing things off to third-party property managers. He also shares a hard lesson about embezzlement that cost him $5 million and what he missed on the balance sheet that let it happen. If you're building a rental portfolio or thinking about getting back into acquisitions, this one is worth your time.
