Zach Haptonstall explains that his first million came from successfully selling his earliest multifamily deals after years of grinding with little to no income, relying on savings and his wife’s support while building his platform. Zach says his last million was also made in multifamily because Zach remains fully invested in his own company and deals rather than the stock market, keeping only what lenders require in liquidity. Looking ahead, Zach expects his next million to come not only from real estate but also from scaling ancillary service businesses such as HVAC, construction, and tax, creating diversified recurring revenue alongside his multifamily portfolio.

Bullet Point Highlights:

• First million came from selling early multifamily deals.
• Years of struggle and persistence before success.
• Investors were paid first through preferred returns.
• Profits were reinvested into property management and construction.
• Last million was again made through multifamily investing.
• Zach keeps most of his capital inside his own company and deals.
• Minimal exposure to the stock market, heavy real estate conviction.
• Next million likely to come from both real estate and service businesses.
• Building in house HVAC, construction, and tax companies.
• Using his own portfolio as a foundation to scale third party services.
• Creating diversified revenue streams to weather downturns.
