In this episode, I'm actually reposting a call that I did in the Deal Room community, which is run by Gabe Bowling. It's a high-ticket mastermind group focused on helping multifamily investors, multifamily entrepreneurs. I appreciate Gabe's invitation to head in there and share my story and talk a little bit about direct-to-seller marketing, how we brought property management in-house and the benefits of doing so. I spent a lot of time talking about why most investors shouldn't be syndicating deals. I actually start sharing some economical examples of the money that you can make in a deal where you are not raising capital versus where you are. Specifically, I share how just doing a five-unit deal with your own money is actually much easier and similarly as profitable as doing a 50-unit deal where you're syndicating equity and raising capital. We get into some Q&A at the end of the call as well with some of the group attendees, which I think a lot of the folks listening are going to find valuable as well. Here are some of the key topics we cover: - How I got started in real estate and grew my portfolio from just a few units to over 500 - The importance of focusing on off-market deals and building relationships to source great opportunities - Why bringing property management in-house was a game-changer - My take on why most investors shouldn't start out by syndicating large deals - A real-world example comparing the economics of doing a small deal yourself vs. syndicating a larger one Are you a new multifamily investor looking to grow your portfolio but don't know where to start?
