Chad Carson’s 2 Deals/Year Strategy That Makes You a Rental Millionaire

Chad 'Coach' Carson joins BiggerPockets to share his 'small and mighty' approach to real estate investing in 2026. He argues that buying just one or two carefully handpicked rental properties per year—rather than scaling fast—can lead to financial independence. Carson explains why new investors have a superpower in finding off-market deals, why a high cash-on-cash return is less crucial in today's market, and outlines his 3-2-1 strategy using new construction homes. He also emphasizes the importance of defining 'enough' to avoid the treadmill of endless scaling.
