His career started in 2011 with just $10,000 in capital saved from his college bartending job.

Since then, Ryan has directly transacted on over $300m across the United States, actively owns a diversified portfolio across four states, and is currently in development on over $120m in Colorado, where his company focuses on forward-thinking, thoughtfully designed real estate that serves as best-in-class spaces to live, work, and play. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:How Ryan got started.How he acquired 1100 units with just one partnerThe #1 move he made that exploded his portfolioHow his business is structured today andWhat type of deals he is focusing on.We discuss a 71-unit deal he found off-market.His outlook on the market and economy moving forward and what he sees as the biggest opportunity.CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST:Email ryan@renegadecapital.coSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS: Canovo Capital - Hassle-Free Commercial Real Estate InvestingFREE RESOURCES:Join Our Passive Investor NetworkDownload Our Passive Investor Guide to Multifamily SyndicationsCONNECT WITH US!YouTube  |  Linkedin  |  Instagram  |  Website  |  Facebook  |  TwitterLOVE THE SHOW?
