In this live YouTube celebration, Christian Osgood fulfills a long‑standing bet by shaving his head after reaching 100,000 channel subscribers, coinciding with the milestone of 1,000 students in his Multifamily Strategy program. He recounts his personal journey from a 9‑to‑5 job to acquiring his first duplexes, the pivotal moment when his wife’s injury led them to discover seller‑financing, and the rapid acquisition of a 38‑plex, 7‑plex, and 6‑plex in late 2021, scaling to over 200 rental units today. Osgood explains how Multifamily Strategy evolved from one‑on‑one Zoom mentorships to a group‑based mentorship model, highlighting standout students such as Caleb Hommel, Ethan, Vlad, and Logan who have leveraged creative financing to amass dozens or hundreds of units. He announces a limited‑time invitation for viewers to join the private Multifamily Strategy Facebook community for free, celebrating the growth of the channel, the mentorship, and the broader community.
Chapters
Diving straight in, we are shaving my head because I made a bet a long time ago. I'll do this if we reach 100,000 subs on this channel. Well, we have recently done that and I had a botched haircut, so it was a good time to do this. But yes, I am shaving my head and talking real estate because Multifamily Strategies is now at 100,000 subscribers and officially at, let's see, 100,000 subs and on the same week as a coincidence, we passed our 1,000 student. So we're shaving it back down. We're reorganizing the, the old noggin here. And yeah, we said we'd do this live. And so I'm good for my word. So for the 1 or 2 people who actually watch this, welcome to Multifamily Strategy. Interesting story though, because I'm going to tell the story through this. Started a 9 to 5 like a decade ago now, trying to save up to buy real estate. And ended up getting 4 rental units. So I got first duplex, second duplex, I got my house, and then I was out of money again. Could not move forward, didn't know how, stuck. So I was like, man, I don't really want to keep earning. And around the same time, my wife, who is a teacher, or was a teacher at the time, she got injured on the job. And they did a horrible job, horrible, horrible, horrible job of taking care of her through that time. As she went through that fun time and I was trying to get out of my 9-to-5 job, we ended up, we ended up learning seller financing. We bought a— man, sorry, this is so distracting doing two things at the same time, cutting your hair and talking. Harder than I thought. But yeah, we bought a 38-plex, a 7-plex, and a 6-plex all within the same two months. November, or no, End of October through December of 2021, scaled up rapidly to over 100 units. Today, over 200 rentals. And we started this little company called Multifamily Strategy. We were a YouTube channel, a course, a mentorship. And, uh, originally we were just doing one-on-ones with people. So I was meeting with people over Zoom, talking about their issues, where they're stuck in real estate, applying and learning seller financing. It was absolutely wild. We got what, 15? I think 15 people joined the mentorship in the first few months and, uh, one of them bought a ton of real estate. His name's Caleb Hommel. You guys may have, uh, may have seen him on this channel before. Well, after that we had many more students and we switched to this model of group mentorship where we actually got together as a group mentored people, uh, and started learning together. And what we saw is we got guys like Ethan, Vlad, Logan start buying tens, some of them hundreds of rental properties using seller financing, using creative finance, hard money, uh, private capital, partners, equity partners. It was crazy where it is today. We have had 1,000 students take the course, and the mentorship, we've had about just about 300 people go through the mentorship. We have community online. What we have built has been really cool and this year we're taking off. So today, shaving off the hair because I promised I would if we had 100,000 subs and really cool that the same week we got our 1,000th client. Uh, great benchmark. So we're going to go ahead and bring this bad boy down to zero. I just wanted to thank everyone for riding with us on the journey, for being a part of the channel. For joining us on the adventure and continuing to work with us as we expand. This year's going to be huge for community. If you want to get plugged in that community for free, by the way, I got a gift for you. Uh, there's a Facebook page called Multifamily Strategy. If you join that community, right, there's about 700 people. I usually don't— it's usually closed to people who are just in the mentorship. You guys are invited if you're watching this video as a celebration. You guys are invited for the next let's say 24 hours. Next 24 hours, if you go to Multifamily Strategy and you ask to join, we will let you in. So appreciate everyone. Thank you. This is a quick live from Christian. We'll see you guys all on the next episode.
