The Multifamily Wealth Podcast #38: Finding Stale Deals on Loopnet, Effective Property Management, and How a Physical Therapist Bought 4 Deals in 4 Months with Lee Yoder
Great show this week with Lee Yoder for investors both large and small - we learn how Lee was able to transition from a career in physical therapy to replace his income in a short period of time with multifamily real estate. Lee talks about how he found great deals on Loopnet (most people say you can’t!) and what he learned in the turnaround process, such as managing the rehab, implementing better management, and much more. Lee also talks about why the syndication model may not make sense for a lot of investors… so if you’re someone who wants to grow your portfolio but doesn’t want to focus on raising capital, you’ll want to listen.
