How This Couple Built a 7-Unit Rental Portfolio in 2026

Darryl and Monica Spruill went from two rental units to seven in less than a year. And they did it while juggling careers, family life, and learning the ins and outs of real estate investing. In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke talks with the couple about how they diversified beyond the stock market and used RealWealth's resources, investment counselors, and vetted property teams to purchase rental properties in three different states. They share how they used a 1031 exchange to turn one investment property into multiple rentals, evaluated new markets, secured favorable financing, and even used AI to accelerate their learning. They also discuss the challenges of buying multiple properties at once and the importance of having the right team in place. Ready to explore your own rental property opportunities?
