In this Owner Meeting Podcast episode, host Christian Osgood interviews real‑estate investor Chris Jordan about his journey from buying a single‑family home in Oklahoma City during the 2008 crash to scaling up to a 6‑unit multifamily acquisition and planning a 14‑unit deal. Chris explains how he sourced the 6‑plex through a partner in a Facebook group, the challenges of closing a conventional loan (seller‑preferred lender, re‑appraisal, and a 75% LTV), and the simple 50/50 capital partnership with a management fee for the on‑site partner. They discuss the renovation scope—$35K budget, a $7K roof replacement, extensive foundation repairs that exceeded the budget, and the need for an $18K‑$20K line of credit or 0% credit‑card financing to finish the work. Chris outlines their exit plan: a five‑year review to decide on sale, refinance, or buy‑out, emphasizing flexibility as the Stockyards area evolves. The conversation shifts to scaling mindset, with Chris now eyeing a 14‑plex, feeling more confident after the 6‑plex experience, and planning his first capital raise of $100K. Both hosts share costly lessons—Chris’s early land development that drained cash flow and Christian’s premature hospitality venture—highlighting the importance of cash‑flow‑first strategies. The episode ends with practical advice on partnership alignment, debt sourcing, and how listeners can contact Chris via email or Instagram.
