  • Summary

  • Most new investors believe that you have to start investing with single-family properties, get your feet wet, and then move on to bigger and better properties. But today’s guest argues for starting with multifamily properties to advance your real estate career more quickly. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews Michael Blank, an entrepreneur, investor, teacher, and one of the leading authorities on apartment building investing in the U.S. Michael’s company controls more than $300 million in performing multifamily assets. Michael has helped students purchase over 14,000 units. He is also the author of the bestselling book “Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing” and host of the podcast with the same name. Jonathan and Michael start their discussion by delving into the differences between investing today versus a couple of decades ago and how investors have had to change tactics. Michael shares the biggest problem with single-family house investing, his approach to creating deals, and why it all comes down to relationships. You’ll hear his team approach to investing, how to scale while maintaining your quality of life, and why most deals happen through brokers off the MLS. Finally, Jonathan and Michael explore overcoming your fears of buying into multifamily at the beginning of your investing career and what you can learn from his mentoring program.
