In this episode, Jonathan Farber interviews Neal Bawa on his journey from discovering the benefits of real estate investing to building a business holding over $265 million. Neal is a technologist turned real estate syndicator operating from the Bay Area, running over 2,000 units. In this episode, we break down topics like choosing a market, deciding when you know enough, getting boots on the ground, and more!


Top Takeaways:

Rely on tangible metrics to choose your market

How to know when you know enough - 34:00 - 38:30

Once you know what metrics you need, it should only take 15 minutes to know

If a property is a good investment, the numbers will make it clear

If you can’t find the information, ask around the market

How to get boots on the ground - 39:10 - 43:30

If you can’t go there yourself, get on Craigslist

Draw out a route around the property

Post a job to video the route
