•
Biographies as mentors — Turner studied every multifamily investor he could find before making the jump
Turner: before buying his first apartment building, he read every biography and case study of multifamily investors he could find. Sam Zell, Grant Cardone, Robert Kiyosaki's early deals. Pattern recognition from others' experience gave him confidence to act.

Highlights

•
Multifamily real estate is valued on income, not comparables — you control the value
Turner: single-family homes are valued by comparable sales (you can't control this). Apartment buildings are valued by net operating income (you can control this). Increasing income or reducing expenses directly increases the property value.
