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?

Think of real estate investing like a game of Monopoly. You start with one house, then leverage its equity for another mortgage. Some investors also partner with others or use private loans. Once you have a few properties generating rental income, it gets easier to finance more. It’s all about using the value in your current properties to fund new ones. It’s a cycle of buying, renting, and refinancing.
