In this short, informal monologue, Christian Osgood challenges the common belief that substantial capital is required to start investing in real estate. He recounts his personal journey: saving money to purchase his first two duplexes and a house, repeatedly cycling between saving and buying over a decade to acquire three properties. A pivotal mindset shift allowed him to aim bigger, leading to a partnership with his friend Cody Davis and the purchase of a 38‑unit multifamily building using seller financing, which generated over $1 million in profit. Osgood emphasizes that with the right financing approach—specifically seller financing—anyone can replicate this success without needing massive upfront cash.

I know it sucks, but you need a lot of money to invest. Just kidding, totally don't need that. I used to think that you needed that, and that was a mindset change I needed to make. I bought my first 2 duplexes and house with money that I earned. I saved up, I bought, I saved up, I bought, I saved up, I bought. I burned a full decade getting 3 buildings. Turns out you can just buy bigger. Met my buddy Cody Davis. The next thing I bought when I had $0 left in the bank was a 38-unit building, which made us over $1 million. You can absolutely do this too with the magic of seller financing.
