First, a huge thank you to this community 🙏. The strategies, insights, and advice shared here on multifamily investing are invaluable for anyone serious about building wealth in this space. A bit about my journey: I was stuck in a 9–5 job, trying to figure out how to create financial freedom. I started a YouTube channel as a side hustle, sharing content and uploading consistently—but growth was slow, and I wasn’t seeing results. Everything changed when I connected with a YouTube growth specialist. Within a few months, my channel grew from 400 subscribers to 4,000, and today it has over 400,000 subscribers, generating passive income every month. The real game-changer? I used YouTube as a platform to scale my multifamily investments. By treating it like a business, I could: 🏢 Share content that reached potential partners and investors 🏢 Fund new deals with passive income from the channel 🏢 Avoid costly mistakes by learning from the audience and experts 🏢 Build systems that made investing and operations more efficient The biggest lesson: multifamily investing, like YouTube, is a business. Treat it strategically, implement systems, and leverage the right guidance—and your growth multiplies. For anyone here: combining online platforms with smart multifamily strategies can accelerate your path to financial freedom while minimizing risks.

Hey! Just joined the community and wanted to introduce myself. I'm Garret, originally from the east coast but now living in Southern California with my wife, 4 kids and a zoo of pets. Excited to connect with others here who are raising capital and scaling in real estate. A little about me... I've always had an interest in real estate. At 16, I worked for a gold buyer in Philly (who also owned real estate) and learned the precious metals business. Around the same time, I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and realized owning assets, real estate and businesses was the path to freedom, however at the time it felt like it was out of reach. So I wound up going into the fitness industry. Built my own fitness business, ran it for over a decade and grew it to 6-figures. Between the pressure of always staying in tip top shape, missing out on family time, and realizing my kids weren't going to take over the business, I knew I needed to pivot into something that would outlast me and leave a legacy. That shift led me into multifamily syndications. Today I run a multifamily syndication company with a couple of partners. Together we manage $200M+ AUM< over 1100 doors, and nearly 3 decades of combined experience in acquisitions and operations. Excited to be here and always open to connected with motivated people. Let's connect!
