In this podcast interview with Andrey Sokurec, we dive into the journey of building a high-volume house-flipping business, offering a candid look at the lessons learned along the way. Our guest reflects on the challenges of managing a labor-intensive, highly leveraged operation, and the differences between conducting business in the Midwest versus the Southeast. He shares insights into the three key compensation strategies that keep employees motivated and the importance of maintaining a strong company culture, which earned his company a spot on the Inc. 5000 list of Best Places to Work.
The conversation also touches on the 2008 financial crisis and its impact, highlighting the significance of education, coaching, and financial freedom. Managing operations across two locations comes with its own set of hurdles, which he navigates with strategies that focus on scalability, creative incentives, and a supportive environment that fosters growth.
As the business transitioned from a rental-focused model to one centered around flipping homes, payroll management and employee incentives played a critical role in keeping the team aligned and motivated. In his reflections on the challenges of house flipping, he emphasizes the importance of adapting to changing market conditions, scalability, and staying innovative to ensure long-term success in a tough industry.

Buying Multifamily 100 Units or Less With Andrew Jarrett & Nic Cooper
3/29/2023
Welcome to the Mario Dattilo Show Podcast!
In this episode of The Mario Dattilo Show, we introduce guests Andrew Jarrett and Nic Cooper from Level Up REI. Nic shares his background as a Navy helicopter pilot and his early years in real estate, while Andrew discusses his experience working in a grocery store and discovering real estate through books and fix & flip opportunities. They explain why they chose apartments over single-family homes for scalability and reveal their strategies for sourcing deals and choosing between self-management and third-party management. The duo also discuss targeting landlord-friendly states, finding the right business partner, the advantages of syndication, and what properties to look for. They delve into fee structures, mobile home park investing, operations, asset management, and acquisitions, emphasizing the importance of focusing on regular actions that lead to key performance indicators. The conversation covers communication with third-party management, acquisition methodology, deal flow changes due to interest rates, and tips for getting brokers' attention. Finally, Andrew and Nic discuss raising capital, building relationships, vetting investors, and offer their last thoughts on entering the multifamily space.
Andrew Jarrett is a native of Western New York, where he was part of numerous profitable redevelopment opportunities on single family homes. He founded a property management company which managed single family and multifamily units. He sold the company and shifted his focus to the acquisition of smaller multifamily and single family investment properties in Western New York. Andrew currently holds several hundred rental units in this market with in-place management and maintenance teams. Andrew is also a #1 Bestselling author and the host of “The Passive Road to Retirement” podcast. He scaled his investments to the acquisition of large Multifamily apartment complexes. In the past two years he has gone “full cycle” on several hundred units, located in Florida and Georgia.
Nic Cooper saw the power of cash-flowing assets with his single-family rentals but was ready to scale. He sold his remaining single-family rentals in San Diego and got his wife, Jamie on board to reinvest in real-estate on a larger scale. Together they purchased a 24 unit apartment complex in Ohio to create passive income. In the first year they optimized systems and as a result, more than doubled the properties value! They saw first-hand the power of multifamily real-estate investing as an opportunity to create passive income and build wealth for their family. Nic brings a pilot’s precision and analytical mind to multifamily real estate with over 22 years as a military helicopter pilot. At present Nic owns 172 units in TX, AL, OH and VA with $11.3MM assets under management.

He started out in construction before serving in the Navy, as a springboard to starting his own business. He then transitioned from single family homes to self-storage to avoid burnout and find something more scalable. Joe discusses his approach to finding deals and working with others, as well as the importance of expanding into new markets. He also talks about the benefits of investing in the self-storage industry and how to assess the risk factors of different markets. Joe shares his experience in building a strong personal brand and offers advice for those looking to get into commercial real estate. He emphasizes the importance of commitment and provides contact information for those interested in working with him.
Once known as “The Flip King”, Joe Evangelisti is now the host of The Legacy Blueprint podcast and a leading expert in real estate investing - specifically in the self storage industry. After experiencing “burn out” from chasing single and multi-family deals, Joe walked away from his wildly successful flipping empire and transitioned to the world of Self-Storage. Today, Joe’s mission is to show others how to tap into the massive opportunities hidden inside the self-storage industry. Opportunities that require far less time, less risk and exponentially more profits than any industry in real estate. In addition to The Storage Syndicate, Joe also serves as the CEO of
three 7 and 8 figure companies. Prior to building his business and real estate empire, Joe served in the military as a Builder in the US Navy Seabees. He holds Letters of Commendation from the US Navy and The White House, a Letter of Appreciation from President Clinton, and numerous service medals. Joe lives with his wife Ashley and their 2 girls in beautiful Haddonfield, New Jersey.
