    Frequently Asked Questions

    What strategy did Ryan Chaw actually use to build wealth in real estate?
    One repeatable niche executed over and over: buying roughly one single-family house a year starting in 2016, near the Stockton, California college where he went to pharmacy school, and renting it out bedroom by bedroom to students while his pharmacist salary covered his living costs.
    How long do you have to hold rental property for this to work?
    Ryan's view is that investors who buy about one property a year and hold for eight or more years almost always end up millionaires — the compounding of rent growth and appreciation does the work, not a clever strategy.
    Do you need to quit your job to invest in real estate?
    No. Ryan bought and self-managed properties while working 40 to 50 hours a week as an infectious disease and pediatric pharmacist, and only left pharmacy at 31, after the portfolio was already producing.
