Breaking into Multifamily real estate is hard. Most people try to find deals first. Big mistake. Here's why: If the best deal in the world fell in your lap... could you close it? If you were able to close it... could you manage it? People say "find a deal, the money will come!" People say " just hire a 3rd party manager!" This is a recipe for disaster. To be a successful investor, you have to: → Know how to raise capital or find JV partners → Know how to operate the deal & execute the business plan So where is the best place to start? The answer is different for everyone, but you won't find success if: You can't raise capital. You don't learn how to asset manage, OR You don't partner with someone experienced. If you were to start all over again, is capital raising where you would start? P.S - Want to chat about capital raising? Send me a DM so we can chat!

You should be greedy when other's are fearful. As a real estate investor, is now the time to be greedy?

"I'll work this job for 6 months and go get a real job..." I told myself at 16 years old at my first job. I was there for 15 years. Became a Shift Manager after 2 years. Got Operations Manager role after 2 more years. 3 years later, I even became the General Manager. And then Operations Advisor, after 3 more years again. I found lots of success in my corporate career: → Top 10 positioning in system sales out of 400+ locations. → Increased sales growth from <$2M in AUV to $5M+ in 10 years. → Directed leadership team (6+ Managers) on all operational objectives. It was an incredible journey. Lots of great people. Big achievements.. But during 2017, things started to change. I discovered my potential for doing more. Doing things that ignite my passion. My wife and I got married. Just bought our first house. And I started investing in real estate. Yes, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” Was a part of that journey, but… Networking with investors Was the bigger influence on me. Not to mention daily reading And consistent networking. And then, in January of 2020, I talked to my wife about The new year, a fresh start. “What do you think about commercial real estate? There's no better time to do it than now, plus We have a little bit of money saved up. And if we were to lose everything, We’ll just go back to 9-5.” We rolled up our sleeves and got to work. And 2020 - It was the year when things shifted pretty hard: I had a path, I had clarity, I began writing a new page in my career... I started small, gradually scaling up, navigating multifamily acquisitions and capital raising from investors I had built relationships with. We’ve achieved a lot… but we’re just getting started. But most importantly… I finally got: → To do things that make me feel excited, → Create more long-term value for myself, → Do great deals with even greater people. What about 2025? It’s all about growing further: → Being a better father → Being a better leader → Being a better husband → Being a better business partner We’ve finished Q1. Closed a good quarter.
