In this episode, Jonathan Farber interviews Matt Whitermore and partner Dan Odabashian on their journey from their separate but similar starts as small time investors to creating a high-equity portfolio of over 75 properties. Matt and Dan are a multifamily investor group based in Albany, New York. In this episode, we dig into topics like: when to get started in multifamily, creating a foundation for rapid growth, keeping investors interested after first contact, and more!


Top Takeaways:


How early you should start into multifamily - 14:30 - 17:30

Think bigger earlier and grow as fast as you can

The scale of multifamily operations is the single biggest gain you can make

You don’t have to jump straight in, though - you can establish a track record first

Laying out your strategy for rapid growth - 18:30 - 23:00

If you set a goal it becomes clear what path you need to take to meet that

Even in the beginning, marketing and systems infrastructure can get started that will keep helping

Always be telling people about your business, no one will invest if they don’t know you’re investing

Keeping potential investors on the hook after they’ve shown interest - 26:45 - 29:30

Quite literally anyone you encounter could become an investor with you

Anything you can do to help solve someone’s problem or show your expertise is great

Once you have the record for it, you can get soft commits for any deal you may find
