From Broke to Buildings: How Marcus Turner Built Real Estate Wealth from the Ground Up
Marcus Turner grew up in a low-income neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. With no silver spoon, he worked two jobs out of high school just to make ends meet. But one thing kept pulling at him—real estate. He saw landlords collecting rent every month and thought, “Why can’t that be me?”
At 24, Marcus saved $8,000 by cutting expenses and picking up extra shifts. He bought his first property—an old duplex in need of repairs. He lived in one unit and rented out the other, using the rental income to cover his mortgage. That one move changed everything.
Over the next 10 years, Marcus used the BRRRR strategy—Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. He reinvested every dollar. No flashy cars, no vacations—just bricks, beams, and blueprints. He learned how to work with contractors, analyze deals, and negotiate with lenders.
Today, Marcus owns over 60 rental units, a property management company, and a portfolio worth over $10 million. He teaches others in his community how to invest, proving that with discipline, knowledge, and grit, real estate can be a tool to build generational wealth.
His advice:
“Start small. Learn the game. Don’t try to get rich quick—get rich smart.”
