Lance Edwards is living proof of his mantra that you do not have to “graduate” from single family to multifamily – you can start with multifamily, just like he did. Lance purchased his first deal (a four-plex apartment) in March 2003 with nothing down. Over the next 2 years, he went on to purchase 50 properties with nothing down on a part-time basis, while working his full-time corporate job.  In July 2005, investing in apartments allowed Lance to retire from his 20-year corporate career to start a full-time real estate business that acquires and flips multifamily properties.

In 2007, he added his training business to teach others how to create faster financial freedom by investing in apartments using none of their own money.  Lance has been speaking on how to raise private money and multifamily real estate investing to large and small groups around the country since 2005.  And he continues to aggressively invest in apartments while teaching others to do the same, all with no money down.
