Thompson Street Capital Partners’ Post

Sometimes it's hard to believe that my real estate journey started 18 yrs ago 🤯 As I reflect on the valleys and peaks along the path, I feel compelled to share a milestone that reshaped everything for me. Back in 2017, I purchased a 4-unit property in Brooklyn instead of a conventional single-family home, and here's the kicker - it was with ZERO money down! Bought the building for $650K, and today it's valued at over $1.1M, generating over $70K in annual revenue. This isn't just about numbers; it's a testament to the power of the courage to walk an unconventional path. To my friends and colleagues grappling with similar decisions, I'm here to encourage you to take that leap of faith. Consider the long-term implications, not just the immediate hurdles. Think about how your decisions today can pave the way for a more secure and prosperous future for you and your loved ones. Let's embrace the journey of building wealth and making impactful decisions. If you're on the fence about your next big move in real estate, I hope my story motivates you to take action. Here's to making choices today that will echo through generations! Lastly, sending a HUGE shoutout to Selena Hill the rest of the Black Enterprise Magazine team for the opportunity to share my insights at the 40 Under 40 Conference 🦾 #RealEstateInvestment #GenerationalWealth #PropertyInvesting #FinancialFreedom
