One of the most repeatable, scalable ways to build a real estate portfolio is using “The Stack” method. This investing strategy allows you to slowly scale your real estate using low-money-down loans, turning one down payment into multiple properties. It’s one of the smartest, safest ways to build wealth, but it’s almost been forgotten. Today, we’re talking to an investor reviving “The Stack,” using it to build an eight-rental real estate portfolio starting with just $15,000.
Like most investors, Connor Anderson had barely enough money to close on his first house, a condo. He scrounged together just $15,000 to buy his first property and immediately began to rent out the other rooms. But this was just the beginning for Connor.

And today we’re speaking with an investor who is living proof that all of these strategies can be huge winners in today’s investing climate. Connor Anderson used to work here at BiggerPockets and has since left to build an impressive portfolio in Michigan using the Stack method. He’s progressed from a condo to a single family home and he’s now onto multi-unit properties and is finding both…
