Christian Osgood grew his portfolio from 4 to 225 multifamily units by abandoning rigid strategies like BRRRR and instead matching deals to his available capital. He closed a 38-plex without upfront cash using creative financing, and argues that fixating on one deal type blinds you to better opportunities.

Count as many red items as you can behind me. You got 5 seconds. I'm going to scroll through, scroll through, scroll through. Count the reds. Hold that number in your head. Now, if you can tell me how many items behind me were blue, that would be absolutely amazing. I'm betting you can't do it. This is how it works in real estate. Now, I had 4 units. I was stuck here for a while because I fell in love with a few strategies— the BRRRR method, the house hack. And so I was only looking for small multifamily deals. They moved me forward slowly. It was really hard to find deals. I felt like I never found anything. Well, fast forward a few years later, I have 225 units. What changed? I stopped trying to look at the money I had and the strategies I was seeing online and just going like, oh, I gotta find this type of deal. I looked at all the opportunities. I found a few that I loved. Started with a 38-plex. Didn't have the money for it, but loved the opportunity. Figured out how to close it. Learned more about creative finance. Closed that deal. Next deal had a totally different structure. If you want to move forward faster, stop looking for specific deals. Look for opportunities matched to capital there. Follow for more.
