This might be the smartest small real estate portfolio strategy we’ve ever heard.

Today’s guest has done the seemingly impossible—gotten rental properties for one dollar, used dirt to cover his down payments, and achieved the (to many investors, extinct) “infinite BRRRR” strategy. He did it all out of necessity—starting with a $30,000-per-year salary and a 90-hour-per-week job. Joe Meehan didn’t have the resources to build a real estate portfolio—but he did it anyway.

Seven years ago, Joe was coaching basketball on a grueling schedule, making a low income. He saved up all he could, bought his first house, and it all clicked—this is how he would get ahead. Just four years later, he quit his job. Seven years later, he has a cash-flowing rental portfolio of 11 units, and he works for himself.

Joe shares the ingeniously simple strategies he’s used to turn very little money into a safe, scalable, profitable rental property portfolio. No off-market deals, no sketchy financing—he even did it with eight and nine-percent interest rates. The cards were stacked against him, but he came out (strongly) on top. The best part? You can use the same strategies in 2026.
