If this is your first time finding me, welcome!…Here’s a quick outline of how I got here and what this channel is about.

14 yrs old: My mother abruptly left our home, we filed chapter 7 bankruptcy, and had a few years of very hard times. 

18 yrs old: I lost my mother. My dad taught me fitness as an outlet to manage the stress. I wanted to help others dealing with trauma or stress via fitness, so I became a certified personal trainer and made $6/session.

23 yrs old: I graduated from Wayne State with a degree in Dietetics and became a Registered Dietitian, I took a 100% commission job at Lifetime Fitness. 

26 yrs old: I quit that job, charged up my credit card to hire a mentor, and started an online coaching business.

27 yrs old: I broke even on the year and had massive struggles. 

28 yrs old: I made my first $1m profit. 

29 yrs old: I grew that business to 1000’s of customers in 21 different countries and made multiple 7 figures at 90% margins. 

30 yrs old: We bought our first rental property, a single family rental in Royal Oak MI.

31 yrs old: We bought our first 7 unit apartment for $660k. 1 year later it was worth $1m. The game completely changed. Watch the case study here: I Paid $660k For A 7 Unit Apartment And In 1 Year It Was Worth $1M!

32 yrs old: We launched The Stephan Group brokerage to help other people discover the power of small multifamily 

33 yrs old: We completed 5, 100% cash out refinances on small multifamily deals. We decide to go ALL in on multifamily and build to 1000 units. That’s when I started this YouTube channel to help YOU buy your first small multifamily apartment deal. 

Today: We currently own and operate 377 units of multifamily real estate on the road to 1000 units. This channel is about sharing our journey and helping YOU get in the game. Never quit and

NEVER compromise on your dreams and goals.
