The Best Ever CRE Show JF3763: Midwest Multifamily Cash Flow and ‘Big Trouble’ with Bridge Debt ft. Jeff Berlin
In this episode of the Best Ever CRE Show, Jeff Berlin joins host Joe Cornwell to discuss his journey from dentist to real estate investor. Berlin shares how reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad" led him to start investing in real estate, beginning with single-family homes in the Midwest before scaling to multifamily properties. He discusses his experience buying and selling a 30-unit property in Cincinnati and a challenging venture into assisted living facilities in California that taught him valuable lessons about partnerships and staying focused. Berlin emphasizes the importance of specializing in one area of real estate rather than getting distracted by "shiny object syndrome." He also provides insights on current market conditions, noting how broker expectations and underwriting standards have changed over the years, making it more difficult to find cash-flowing properties even in traditionally stable Midwest markets.
