His portfolio grew from a single property to a 7-figure portfolio within a few years while working full-time. Andrew achieved this growth by leveraging other people's money and employing a blend of strategies, including purchasing single-unit BRRRs and tenanted stock, both in individual properties and larger portfolios.
