This was the beginning of Chase\u2019s roll up strategy. This approach of acquiring multiple assets in the same industry and consolidating them into a large company proved to be advantageous.

It took plenty of trial and error, deploying the right contractors, and gaining tangible skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Chase enjoys the passive nature of his portfolio as it allows him to spend more quality time with his kids. These days you can find him focused on maintaining his business, enjoying the fruits of financial flexibility, and keeping an eye out on businesses on Flippa that piques his interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The best part about Flippa is the newsletter, and it dials in pretty close to exactly what I&#8217;m looking for,&#8221; says Chase. &#8220;I love the newsletter.
