From Duplex to $10 Million Portfolio: Bob Biggins' Path to 500 Doors

From Duplex to $10 Million Portfolio: Bob Biggins' Path to 500 Doors

What does it take to grow from a single duplex to managing 85 units worth nearly $10 million—and then set your sights on 500 doors?

In this episode, Brian Hamrick talks with Bob Biggins, a Michigan-based investor, licensed realtor, and YouTube creator who has been in real estate for nearly 30 years. Starting with a house-hack duplex in the 1990s, Bob slowly built his portfolio while working a corporate job. Today, after exiting that career, he's fully focused on multifamily investing and scaling up.

You'll learn:

  • How Bob used education and persistence to build a solid foundation in real estate.

  • Why his mindset shift from "thinking small" to "thinking big" is fueling his current growth.

  • The challenges of managing and rehabbing older housing stock common in Michigan.

  • Why self-managing has allowed him to reinvest, increase property values, and build cash flow.

  • The role of mentorship, networking, and platforms like YouTube in sharing knowledge and attracting opportunities.

  • How Bob plans to make the leap from 85 to 500 units over the next five years.

This is a story of patience, persistence, and bold goals—perfect inspiration for anyone looking to scale their own real estate business.
