Global Investors: Investing in U.S. Real Estate

Real Estate Investing for Beginners with Marco Pfeiffer is a deep-dive masterclass into how an everyday W2 earner can build a profitable rental portfolio, scale across multiple states, and eventually achieve financial independence through smart, long-term real estate investing.

Marco shares his complete journey, from immigrating to the U.S. with no network and working his way up to CFO, to losing his job in 2016 and realizing he needed cash-flowing assets to build security. In this episode, he breaks down exactly how he built a single-family rental portfolio, used the BRRRR method, transitioned to multifamily, and now helps investors secure DSCR loans and commercial financing for rental properties.

If you're searching for practical, beginner-friendly steps to scale your first 1–10 rentals, manage properties remotely, or understand DSCR loans and build-to-rent strategies, this episode delivers the frameworks and real-world lessons you won’t find in theory-based content.

What is RUBS in real estate, and how does the Ratio Utility Billing System actually work in multifamily properties? In this video, we break down RUBS utilities explained in simple terms and show how landlords split utilities when a property is not submetered. If you invest in rental property utilities, multifamily property management, or real estate operating expenses, understanding RUBS is essential.

RUBS is a utility billing method that allocates water and sewer costs across tenants using factors such as number of occupants, square footage, bedrooms, or bathrooms. We explain why many older multifamily properties use RUBS, how landlords calculate tenant charges, and why submetering vs RUBS has become a major decision point for owners.

You’ll also learn why RUBS is often viewed as a rent increase, the challenges of fair allocation, and how water rate changes impact flat-fee billing. This episode is a complete landlord guide to utility billing systems, including when to implement RUBS, when to consider submetering installation for apartments, and how to reduce utility costs in multifamily buildings.

If you're looking for the best way to bill tenants for water and sewer or want clarity on how landlords split utilities, this walkthrough will help you make a confident and informed decision.
