Five years later, he scaled to over 800 doors...\nChad is the founder of Focused Capital, an Indianapolis firm that owns about 800 apartment units and expects to cross 1,000 in October. He spent almost 20 years selling credit card processing before he ever looked at a rental. He got into real estate for one reason, and it was the tax bill.\nThe part investors will want is how he wins deals now. Last year he made around 55 offers and two stuck. He is almost never the highest bidder. More than two-thirds of what Focused Capital owns came from being second in line, still sitting on the broker's list when the first buyer could not close.\nRESOURCES\nChad spent three years reading before he made his first offer.
