#20: Focusing On Acquisitions and Building a Robust Pipeline of Off-Market Multifamily Deals (In Your Early 20s!) with Adrian Salazar

I really enjoyed this interview with Adrian Salazar - we talk about how you can transition from wholesaling or single-family investing to multifamily, how he has been able to build his business at such a young age, and most importantly, how to find off-market multifamily deals. We thoroughly discuss the importance of "staying top of mind" and why it is so critical to do so in real estate - be sure to give this one a listen!

Adrian is the Founder of Optimum Buyers, a real estate firm that focuses solely on providing above-average returns to our investors through investing in multifamily properties.
