#298: Vetting (and Partnering With) Sponsors, Raising Capital For 20+ Deals, and Transitioning From Single Family To Multifamily with Igor Shaltanov
From professional water polo in Russia to raising capital for over 20 multifamily deals in the U.S., Igor Shaltanov’s story is all about resilience, discipline, and smart investing.
In this episode, Igor shares how he went from renting out his mom’s spare apartment in Moscow to building a U.S. real estate business, starting with single-family homes before scaling into multifamily. He explains why he became an LP in 10 deals before actively investing, the lessons learned from both successful and failed partnerships, and how he approaches co-GP relationships today.
We also discuss how Igor evaluates sponsors, what to look for in the capital stack, and why newer-vintage multifamily properties with assumable loans are especially attractive in today’s market.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Igor’s journey from water polo athlete to multifamily investor
- Why starting as an LP in 10 deals was the best education he could buy
- How COVID revealed the importance of landlord-friendly states
- What he learned from losing money in deals—and how to vet sponsors better
- Best practices for structuring co-GP partnerships the right way
- Why loan assumptions and newer vintages (2000s+) are his current focus
- How to think about timing the market when “nobody wants multifamily”
