We had a fantastic time talking to Jeffrey Donis in today’s episode, and we’re very excited to share it with you. Jeffrey is one of the three brothers that run a very successful investment company; they went from growing up with an immigrant single mother to buying apartment complexes in their 20s. We talked about his humble beginnings, what made him leave school and attend conferences instead, his passion for helping others, and so much more. He aims to enable full-time professionals and investors to receive passive income and replace their active income through real estate. Through passive income, our investors can free up their time through a hands-off role in apartment syndication.

The Donis Brothers

Kenneth, Jeffrey, and Kerwin Donis are real estate investors and syndicators. The Donis brothers built a portfolio of cash-flowing rentals and a six-figure business as former single-family investors.

They aim to empower others to achieve their financial goals through apartment investing. The Donis Brother’s passion for helping people began early and has bonded them as brothers and business partners.

The Donis Brothers are also hosts the Real Estate Monopoly Podcast, a show where they interview investors who are dominating the real estate industry.

As Managing Partners of Donis Investment Group, the Donis Brothers divide and conquer. Jeffrey is responsible for investor relations, Kenneth for acquisitions, and Kerwin for marketing.

Transparency, exceptional communication, and delivering results are central to every decision they make.

When the Donis Brothers aren’t underwriting deals, touring properties, or creating educational content, you can find them spending quality time with friends and family.

Join us today as we talk with Kristina Xie; she is a multi-family investor and a manager at Cash Flow Portal. She shared her journey in the real estate business and how her family (her dad) has always been involved in this industry. We get to talk about syndication and why it’s the go-to for average people or those who can’t afford to buy their own properties, the processes behind commercial real estate, the people involved, and so much more. Find out how an average person can become part of the industry and how you can start building a passive income for your future.

Who is Kristina?

She is a real estate enthusiast born and raised in New York City. She aspired to become a corporate employee working in the glamorous office buildings of Manhattan, only to realize that path wasn't for her. Real estate has always been in her life - her father brought his first property in China at 28. Then a few years later, he got his first rental property in Elmhurst and then, later, in Astoria (both neighborhoods in Queens). She has seen the sweat, love, and dedication her father put into his investments to plant the seeds for the next generation. She has always thought - there must be a faster way!

She learned about real estate syndications only a year ago after attending her first conference, where she met like-minded, humble, and ambitious people. They reminded her that everyone starts from a small rental portfolio, and it is only through steady work that they can grow it to become hundreds or even thousands of units.

Her "why" is to prove to my peers that anyone can own commercial real estate - you just have to take a chance on yourself and trust in the sponsorship team. While she may not be the biggest sponsor on the block, she takes each opportunity to learn from others to accelerate her syndication journey and will remain as humble as her dad, who has always said, "you can't go wrong with real estate!"
