In this episode, Jonathan Farber interviews David Toupin on his path from reading Rich Dad Poor Dad in college to syndicating over 1000 apartments in five years. David is a multifamily syndicator and educator based in Austin, Texas. In this episode, we delve into topics like: balancing education and execution, moving outside your home market, avoiding common pitfalls, and more!


Top Takeaways:


Balancing education and execution - 10:00 - 11:00

Most people that end up successful have adopted the 80/20 rule - 80% work, 20% learn
Fundamentally, there’s no point in learning if you never apply it
Also realize that essential learning comes through the successes and failures of practice

Getting comfortable outside your home market - 14:45 - 15:30

While it’s fine to get started nearby, it’s likely that better deals exist elsewhere
Remember that your deals have to make money, not be somewhere you want to live
Creating relationships in whatever market you pick is the key to setting up a successful operation

Rookie mistakes and how to avoid them - 15:45 - 17:00

Too many people never get to the first step and make an offer on a deal
For multifamily, underwriting is a critical skill, so make sure you’re practicing often
As much as possible, learn what you need to do by practicing it with real deals
