How does an individual gather 5, 10, 20, 50+ units of real estate?

These people tend to tell that the key is to use capital that’s not your own – like from a bank. I understand how it works with common mortgage. But let’s say I already have a mortgage, thus own one property/real estate. Now I’m in debt towards the bank and they’re not giving me another loan to buy another flat since I need to be repaying the first one (?).

So, how does it work? Where do these people get the needed money to buy the second property? The third one?

The trick, when it was legal, was to
put a down payment on one
take a loan out using the first as collateral
Buy a couple more
Take a loan out using those as collateral
Buy. …..

And if you keep renters paying your mortgages to sell at a profit it works.
If you slip or are unlucky it all falls apart,
you owe a bazillion dollars,
you declare bankruptcy
and the people who gave you the loans are screwed
