Listen Later

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.
