Property is literally one of the only investment vehicles I can think of where you can start, grow, and scale a business using none of your own money. Today, we're going to meet Matt, who tried to build a property portfolio the wrong way. Then he came to Progressive and learned how to do it right. He now uses none of his own money, works with private investors, and in this latest deal, the owner of the property is lending him the money to do the deal.
