Get rich quick starting with buying a house with zero down payment

"Renting a place," Lei Guoliang said, his gaze sweeping across her desk, catching glimpses of monthly costs and revenue shortfalls on the spreadsheet.

"We're looking to rent a few decent apartments near Zhongguancun and the Asian Games Village for our company's senior executives. We need to be selective and act quickly."

"How many units?" The woman's eyes lit up; this was a big client. "What specific requirements do you have regarding the size, decoration, and budget? My surname is Han, Han Mei, and I'm the store manager here."

"Manager Han." Lei Guoliang sat down in the chair opposite her: "70 to 100 square meters, two or three bedrooms are both acceptable."

It must be fully furnished, with brand-name appliances, a good neighborhood environment, and strict security. Price... market price is fine, but service must be excellent, preferably with regular cleaning and maintenance support. How many apartments like this can you find?

Han Mei quickly calculated in her mind: "There are about twenty or thirty properties in Zhongguancun and Asian Games Village that meet your requirements that have been listed in our system for a long time."

But they are scattered across various neighborhoods; if they were concentrated in one neighborhood…”

"If I had a residential complex with 120 apartments like these, all fully furnished and brand new, located near the North Fourth Ring Road, in two buildings, B and C, I would let you manage, rent, maintain, and collect rent."

"How long can you rent them all out? What rent level can you get?" Lei Guoliang interrupted her, dropping a bombshell.

Han Mei froze, her mouth slightly agape, staring at Lei Guoliang in disbelief: "120 units? In the same complex? Brand new? You...you're the developer?"

"I am the landlord," Lei Guoliang corrected. "Or rather, I will soon be. I have already negotiated the leases for 120 units, each 70-100 square meters, fully furnished."

Now, I need someone to help me build a team to manage these houses, rent them out quickly, manage the tenants well, ensure that the rent is paid on time, and maintain the houses.

Are you interested in doing this? Not as a store manager here, but for me—fully responsible for the asset management of these 120 properties.

Han Mei's heart pounded. 120 high-end properties! Complete control! What did this mean?

This means she can break free from the constraints of a franchise store, no longer have to be at the mercy of the headquarters, no longer have to worry about the meager commission and management fees, and can truly build a team, set standards, and create a business according to her own ideas!

Moreover, someone who can produce 120 houses at once must have an unfathomable background and strength.

"Why...why are you looking for me?" Han Mei tried to calm herself down, her voice a little dry.

"I've been observing you for five minutes. You're doing the math, you're worried. Is the store's performance bad? Or is the headquarters taking too much commission, leaving no profit?" Lei Guoliang said incisively.

"You want to do something on your own, but you lack funds, housing resources, and a platform that allows you to unleash your potential."

As for me, I have properties and money, but I lack someone knowledgeable, hardworking, and capable of handling things independently. We each get what we need.

These words struck a chord with Han Mei. She had been the store manager of this franchise for three years, working herself to the bone, with the lion's share going to the headquarters and the franchisees, leaving her with very little. She also had to deal with all sorts of unrealistic targets and tedious procedures from the headquarters.

She had long wanted to start her own business, but the start-up capital and stable housing supply were the biggest hurdles.

"...I need to know the specific treatment and my authority." Han Mei took a deep breath, her eyes sharpening again.

Compensation: Base salary of 5,000, bonuses, commissions and profit sharing are calculated separately. You build your own team, and I will approve the salary budget.

Aside from these 120 apartments, I hereby appoint you as the General Manager of Beijing Anjia Tianxia Real Estate Company, responsible for managing all affairs of the company in Beijing.

Lei Guoliang offered a straightforward price: "Authorization: You have full authority to decide on all matters related to the leasing, operation, and maintenance of these 120 apartments."

This includes the management of Anjia Tianxia Beijing Company's formal operation in the future, and regular reports to me on cash flow and major events.

I'm giving you two months to achieve an occupancy rate of over 90% and an average rent no lower than the market price. Can you do that?

Five thousand base salary! 10% net profit bonus! Full responsibility! Han Mei's breathing quickened. This was the opportunity she had been dreaming of!

"I can do it!" she said without hesitation, her voice firm and resolute. "As long as the property quality is as you say, I guarantee a 90% occupancy rate within three months! And on average, I can offer 5% more rent than the market rate!"

"Very good." Lei Guoliang stood up, took out a card from his business card holder, which only had his name and phone number printed on it.

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, bring your ID card and resume to this place to find me. We will sign an agreement."

At the same time, you need to start recruiting team members. Your first task is to take over these 120 properties, create files, and develop a rental strategy. Any questions?

"No!" Han Mei took the card and clutched it tightly in her hand.

"See you tomorrow, Manager Han." Lei Guoliang nodded and turned to leave.

Stepping out of the store, night had fallen. Lei Guoliang got into his car and breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had found the "chief steward" of Beijing.

He was satisfied with the ambition in Han Mei's eyes and the decisiveness of an executor. The next step was to sharpen her skills and direct them towards the market.

For the next few days, Lei Guoliang stayed at the hotel, remotely controlling the entire operation.

The efficiency on Boss Zhou's side was unexpectedly high.

Perhaps spurred by the nearly 50 million in cash, he used all his connections and in just three days contacted the credit officers of 15 bank branches, as well as two appraisal companies with which he had a good working relationship.

Han Mei acted even faster. On the same day she signed the employment agreement, she took two of her most capable subordinates from the original store: one skilled in property scouting, inspection, and maintenance coordination, and the other skilled in contracts, legal matters, and finance.

They quickly recruited five young employees with good looks and strong communication skills as leasing consultants through recruitment websites and introductions from acquaintances; two of them were fluent in English.

She swiftly rented a small studio apartment near Zhongguancun, a mixed-use commercial and residential space, as a temporary office. She hung up a sign bearing the logo of Anjia Tianxia (Beijing) Real Estate Company, and the team immediately began operating.

Her first task was to follow Boss Zhou's people and spend two days visiting all 120 target apartments in Buildings B and C of "Ruijing New City".

She led her team, armed with checklists and cameras, to inspect each house one by one, recording details such as floor, orientation, view, decoration details, brand and model of home appliances, and even the soundproofing of windows.

Instead of simply recording the information, she quickly scored and categorized each apartment in her mind and drafted preliminary rental prices.

"Mr. Lei, I've finished looking at the house." On the third night, Han Mei came to Lei Guoliang's hotel room to report, carrying a thick folder and a laptop.

"The quality exceeded expectations. The developer used very high-quality materials and the decoration standards are very high, especially the view and lighting."

I have initially divided them into three tiers: Tier A (high-floor, rare unit type, excellent view) 28 units, with a target monthly rent of 3000-4000.

Category B (mid-floor, mainstream unit type, south-facing) 62 units, target monthly rent of 2500-3500.

Category C (lower floors or slightly flawed): 30 units, target monthly rent of 2000-3000. This is a detailed property list and rent calculation table.

Lei Guoliang took the form, glanced at it, and found the data clear, the categories reasonable, and the rental pricing based on surrounding competitors with room for upward adjustment, demonstrating her professionalism and market sensitivity.

"How's the team training going?"

"The basic scripts and procedures have been completed, and mock viewings will begin tomorrow. I have already contacted HR departments and headhunters at several foreign companies and have been sending them information on Category A properties."

"The online portal and offline community GG will launch simultaneously tomorrow." Han Mei answered fluently: "In addition, I have found two professional cleaning and maintenance partners and negotiated package prices and response standards."

Once we receive the first batch of keys, we can immediately begin scheduling viewings.

"Very good." Lei Guoliang nodded: "The bank has approved the first batch of 20 sets and will release the loans next week."

Your task is to rent out all 20 units in the first batch within ten days after the bank releases the loan and we receive the keys, and the average rent cannot be lower than the B-level standard you set.

This is your first test. If you succeed, I will increase the support and resources allocated to you during subsequent team expansions. If you fail, or if something goes wrong…”

"Don't worry, Mr. Lei. If I fail to complete the task, I will resign voluntarily." Han Mei's eyes were firm, without the slightest hesitation.
