I cold called an investor (who owns over $25,000,000 worth of real estate almost all free & clear) to ask for advice.

Here's what he said:

"Real estate is all about satisfying the resident & reducing costs."

Seemingly contradictory statements.

But when executed well:

Crushes.

Here's his advice:

1) Buy units with more bedrooms.

- For him, he buys assets & holds them in perpetuity.
- He found residents stay longer with 2-3 bedrooms.
- This is true for dishwashers & washer/dryers too.
- Here was his point: anticipate their needs.
- Anticipate their growth in life (families).
- & provide them convenience.

As their family grows & they make more money, you have the capacity to support this.

2) Be vertically integrated.

In his opinion:

- The single greatest opportunity to reduce cost.

He wanted to maximize cash flow:

- He had a manager & went in 2 days/week.
- This increased his cash flow, which
- Afforded a better life style.

The conversation was over 40 minutes.

He was very gracious with his time.

(Probably because he afford it).

P.S. Curious to hear your favorite interactions on a cold call?

Helping Accredited Investors Create Passive Income & Wealth In Multifamily Real Estate | Founder of Focused Capital | Experienced Real Estate Investor

Husband. Dad. Real Estate Investor. 

I left a successful financial payments business to build something with real impact — a life of freedom, time for my family, and the opportunity to help others build wealth too. That journey led me to real estate.

Now I run Focused Capital, where we help people grow their wealth through passive multifamily investments. We’ve raised $20M in equity and built a $100M+ portfolio by doing things the right way — buying smart, planning for the unexpected, and putting people first.

But we’re not just here for accredited investors.

We’re here for the people living in our communities too. That means upgrading the properties — and upgrading lives. From safer spaces to better amenities to financial literacy programs, we’re on a mission to help residents not just live better, but grow.

What I’m about:

Cash-flowing, downside-protected deals

Clear, honest communication

Creating real impact — for investors and residents

Empowering families to take control of their financial future

At home, you’ll find me planning special trips with my family, chasing our little kids around, on the lake with water sports, or working on slowing down my speech to lead more clearly and confidently — on video and in life.

I don’t just raise capital.
I build trust, create opportunity, and invest in people.

Hardest part of this business isn't acquistions or equity.  Its property operations.

Those that are in the business can relate.

Hats off to the property management companies operating, especially in this environment. 

Typically the challenges aren't solely a market or property issue.  It can be narrowed down to a "people" issue.

AI isn't the automatic solve here.  It takes talent to lead well and hold them accountable to get the desired outcome.

The operators that can execute in this environment are the ones that will do  very well in the next wave.
