Global Investors: Investing in U.S. Real Estate

Building a multifamily investment team is one of the most important steps in growing a successful real estate portfolio.

In this Strategy Saturday episode, Charles Carillo explains how to build a multifamily investment team, which professionals you need at each stage, and when it makes sense to expand your operation.

Whether you are self-managing your first apartment property or building a full-scale real estate investment firm, the right team can help you manage daily operations, evaluate deals, raise capital, and acquire more properties.

In this episode, Charles discusses:

• The foundational team every multifamily investor needs

Multifamily investing is a team sport. As your portfolio grows, surrounding yourself with experienced professionals allows you to scale without becoming an expert in every area of the business.

How does tax lien investing work—and is it really a way to acquire real estate for pennies on the dollar?

In this episode of the Global Investors Podcast, Charles Carillo interviews Stephen Morel, a title attorney with 20 years of property-law experience and the founder and CEO of JurisDeed.

Stephen explains how tax lien investing works, why local governments sell delinquent property-tax liens, how investors earn returns during the redemption period, and what happens when a property owner fails to repay the outstanding taxes.

You’ll also learn why tax lien investing is primarily an interest-income strategy, not necessarily a shortcut to owning discounted real estate. Stephen breaks down the important differences between tax liens and tax deeds, how foreclosure works, and why legal notices, title research, due diligence, and state-specific regulations matter.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What tax lien investing is and how investors make money

Stephen also shares how Hurricane Katrina changed the direction of his legal career and eventually led him to develop title solutions for tax-sale properties. Today, JurisDeed is working to make the traditionally complex tax lien investment process more accessible to individual investors.

Most new passive investors focus mainly on projected returns, but experienced passive investors know that the real question is: how much downside risk is built into the deal?

In this Strategy Saturday episode, Charles Carillo breaks down what passive investors actually look for when reviewing apartment deals and multifamily syndications. After investing passively since 2018, investing in over 30 properties, and speaking with hundreds of passive investors, Charles shares the key factors that matter most before investing.

You’ll learn how passive investors evaluate the sponsor team, conservative underwriting, downside protection, market strength, reserves, business plans, tax benefits, and projected returns.

In this episode, Charles discusses:

• Why smart passive investors do not only chase high returns

The strongest apartment deals are not always the ones with the flashiest projections. They are the ones backed by a solid plan, realistic assumptions, strong communication, and proper downside protection.

Dr. Chirag Chaudhari  is an emergency medicine physician turned real estate syndicator, and the son of Indian immigrants.

What began as a few rental properties with his wife has grown into a portfolio spanning nearly 800 units through hotel-to-multifamily conversions, land syndications, ground-up construction, short-term rentals, and even oil & gas funds.

Most real estate deals don’t fail because of the market. They fail because of bad underwriting. In this Strategy Saturday episode, Charles Carillo breaks down the common underwriting mistakes that can quietly destroy investor returns, including overestimated rent growth, underestimated expenses, property tax surprises, unrealistic renovation premiums, and inaccurate repair budgets.

If you are buying multifamily properties, apartment buildings, or any income-producing real estate, your underwriting needs to be realistic, not overly optimistic.

You’ll learn how to protect your downside, verify key numbers, and avoid assumptions that can kill cash flow after closing.

Fernando also breaks down the risks of self-storage investing, including rising competition, institutional capital entering the market, and why a cheap self-storage facility is not always a good deal.
