Why Playing Small with Single Rentals Is Killing Your Wealth—Here’s the Portfolio Hack Top Investors Swear By
Ever wonder why most folks settle for buying one rental property at a time, inching their way toward financial freedom like it’s some marathon they didn’t train for? What if I told you there’s a fast lane—and it’s all about snatching up entire rental portfolios instead of single units? Meet Jose Martinez, a game-changer who flipped the real estate script by securing 10+ unit portfolios in a single deal and reaching financial freedom way quicker than the average investor stuck in the slow lane. No crazy gimmicks, no sketchy financing schemes—just smart moves, the right mentorship, and a killer financing strategy that lets him leverage equity with less than 5% down. If a newcomer who didn’t even speak English could pull this off in just four years, what’s stopping you from speeding up your path to wealth? Ready to stop playing catch-up and start dominating?

If you want financial freedom faster, you need to stop buying rentals and start buying rental portfolios.
Most people have never thought about it. Instead, they slowly build their rental portfolio to 10 or (at the most) 20 units. And while we love the slow-and-steady approach, Jose Martinez is doing something much more—buying 10+ unit portfolios in a single transaction. He only needed a few “deals” to reach financial freedom.
No risky creative financing or buying a bunch of $50K houses in the middle of nowhere. Jose’s portfolio rakes in steady rent, and now he’s a full-time real estate investor. And he did it all in just four years—starting in 2022.
Two secrets helped him do this so quickly: the right mentor and the right financing. A lucky run-in at the gym changed Jose’s entire life forever, but you don’t need luck to use his financing strategy. This often-overlooked strategy has allowed Jose to use equity from other properties to buy bigger deals, often putting down less than 5%!
If Jose could do it, starting with no experience, speaking no English, and being new to the U.S., why can’t you?
