#68: Quickly Growing a Portfolio in an Expensive Market and Working with Section 8 Programs with Lior Rozhansky

We’ve got a great episode this week with Lior Rozhansky, an investor based in Boston, MA. It’s not often we chat with investors who are investing in expensive markets - Lior has built a sizable portfolio of small to mid-size multifamily properties within Boston, where properties sell for $300k-$500k/door!

In this episode, we break down how he was able to find good deals (and cash flow!) in an expensive market. Lior shares the unique strategies that he employs to find cash-flowing deals and how he successfully works with numerous housing programs throughout the city. Lior also shares numerous tactical tips for listeners who want to implement this strategy into their business. We also touch on topics including managing in-house, developing basic systems, and outsourcing basic management tasks. Lior shares his insights on how he goes about finding off-market deals, such as direct mail, working with wholesalers, and through his network. This is a fantastic episode for those listeners looking to invest in an expensive market!
