Main Points:

  • Started in small multifamily, then discovered syndication
  • Overcame three critical limiting beliefs: (1) I have to invest locally (2) I have to go it alone and (3) real estate returns are similar in all markets
  • Invested in Texas from California (before moving to Texas)
  • Learned how to invest at a distance
  • Learned that not all markets are like California (low cash flow, need appreciation to make money)
  • Discovered the power of partnerships to scale up
  • It’s a relationship business!
