Success story

Kamil Kaczmarczyk

"Get educated, but don't get stuck in analysis paralysis. The only way you get experience is by doing it."

Kamil bought his first property at 23.

Kamil Kaczmarczyk

Kamil works as a software engineer outside of real estate investing. He bought his first property at 23.

The first property

After looking at several multi-unit buildings, Kamil shifted his focus to single-family homes. He bought a well-maintained house in a strong location with solid structural integrity.

Finding tenants

His first tenant was a friend who needed housing when his lease was expiring. He rents rooms to multiple occupants and collects rent by check, cash, or Zelle. He is building a custom app to handle tenant communications.

His philosophy

"Don't get stuck in analysis paralysis. Go see all the houses you can. Ask questions."

The long-term vision

Rather than targeting a specific number of properties, Kamil wants a portfolio that preserves wealth, generates steady cash flow, and benefits future generations, with the option to retire earlier.

His honest take

Real estate investing is harder than he expected. His advice: keep your job while you build your investment business, get creative in finding deals, stay aware of the economy, build a reliable team, and avoid overleveraging.
