About Bill Ham:
In 2005, Bill quit his job as a corporate pilot and went into real estate full time. He closed only one deal. A duplex. It was cash flowing about $300 a month. He started his entire real estate career with this one duplex and a life savings of $10,000. For Bill, it wasn’t much.
Bill’s first 402 units were completed with some form of creative financings such as seller financing and master lease options. Over the years, he built a large portfolio of real estate consisting mostly of apartments. Bill built a management company that operated the portfolio. At the peak, that company was comprised of 16 employees and managed over 1000 units.
Over the years, he had many successes and many failures. Some small and some big. Bill has made a lot of money and has also lost a lot of it. He has seen all phases of the market. The upcycles and the down. The good times and the bad. He has survived them all. Knowledge and skills are only passed on by those who survive.
