In this explosive Dropping Bombs episode, Larry Carpenter III drops a straight-up masterclass on scaling rentals fast — creative financing, the 1% rule, cash-out refinances, and why "hard work alone" keeps you poor.

From buying his first house at 18 to now owning 400+ doors with Carpenter Realty — Larry reveals exactly how he did it: sourcing off-market deals nobody wants, knowing when to never sell, Section 8 realities, property management at scale, the math to decide in minutes, and partnerships + seller financing that 10x'd his portfolio. If you're ready for your first door or your next hundred, this is your green light.
