With less than $10,000 in the bank – credit card debt up to his eyeballs, credit scores in the toilet, and his wife pregnant with their first child, Caleb Walsh thought this was the perfect time to buy an $800,000 multi-unit property! This could have been another 99 Homes story (where huge numbers of people got underwater on their mortgage) but Caleb turned it into a story of going from zero to 500 doors.
