Multimillionaire Real Estate Investor Shares How To Buy Your First Apartment Building With Creative Financing - Burt Mulwitz and Lily Patrascu Burt Mulwitz is a veteran real estate investor, California broker, mentor, and creative financing expert who has participated in more than $1 billion in income property transactions over a 50-year career. He has bought and sold more than 100 apartment buildings across seven states using creative financing strategies and unconventional deal structures. Burt shared how he purchased his first apartment building at age 24 for $90,000 with only about $4,500 out of pocket, then quickly turned it into a $25,000 profit through a creative property exchange. He attributes his success to confidence, persistence, cold-calling property owners, and seeing opportunities where others see obstacles.

Over the years, he completed increasingly larger transactions, including acquiring a Texas apartment building with no money down and negotiating its purchase price from $5 million to under $3 million.
