    <p><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/2014-09-14-build-real-estate-empire-ground"><strong>Building a rental property empire</strong></a> isn’t easy. Whether you dream of owning five, ten, or two hundred rental units, there is a way to get there—you just need to know what it is. It took <strong>Sam Primm </strong>seven years to figure out<strong> the smartest way to </strong><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides/ultimate-real-estate-investing-guide"><strong>invest in real estate</strong></a>, and now he’s here to share it with you! Sam, like many people, didn’t hate his nine-to-five job but knew that <strong>being on some else's schedule </strong>wasn’t bearable for the rest of his life.</p><p>Sam partnered up <strong>flipping a few houses</strong> here, <strong>buying a few rental units </strong>there, and wholesaling for some extra cash. Three years into his real estate side business, Sam took the leap and <strong>went full-time into investing</strong>. Since then, he’s been able to buy over<strong> $20M in real estate</strong>, totaling his portfolio to a whopping $40M. This may seem unachievable to the average real estate investor, but Sam makes it clear that he isn’t special and is just a regular guy buying rentals.</p><p>Through his real estate tenure, he’s been able to define exactly <strong>what the average investor needs to do to scale their real estate portfolio</strong>. His “SCALE” system isn’t complex, but it will help you <strong>double, triple, or quadruple the amount of real estate you own</strong> in a very short amount of time.
