Bill Ham

In 2005 I quit my job as a corporate pilot and went into real estate full time. I had closed only one deal. A duplex. It was cash flowing about $300 a month. I started my entire real estate carrier with this one duplex and a life savings of $10,000. Not much.

My first 402 units were completed with some form of creative financing such as seller financing and master lease options. Over the years I built a large portfolio of real estate consisting mostly of apartments. I built a management company that operated the portfolio. At the peak that company was comprised of 16 employees and managed over 1000 units.

Over the years I had many successes and many failures. Some small and some big. I have made a lot of money and I have lost a lot of money.
