E214: Give Value First and The Abundance Follows with Sterling Chapman

Today, let’s talk about leverage!

Sterling Chapman is a father, husband, regional sales director, real estate investor, and podcast host of “The Rent Roll Radio Show”. From the middle of 2018 when he bought his first rental  through the end of 2019, Sterling had managed 26 rental units.

But once he mustered up the courage to turn it over to property management, his number of units quadrupled in just six months! It freed up so much of his bandwidth so he could keep building and growing.

Sterling started his real estate journey doing single-family business, flipping houses, and BRRRRing for rentals. Since then, Sterling syndicated to apartment complexes, managing 70 residential units, flipping 14 houses, and doing two syndications.
