#76: Moving To Your Target Market and Growing a Vertically Integrated Multifamily RE Firm with Chris Grenzig

In this episode, I bring back the first guest I ever had on the podcast, Chris Grenzig! A lot of things have changed in Chris’ life and business since he was first on the podcast… he moved to Jacksonville, founded his company (JAG Communities), and has bought numerous mid-sized multifamily properties. In this episode, Chris talks about why he struck out on his own, moved to FL, and how he began putting together deals.. He also discusses some motivating factors and some of the challenges that he has encountered thus far - this is a great episode for those looking to learn more about how you can begin acquiring 20+ unit multifamily properties, especially if you are looking to build a vertically integrated business.
