This is part 1 of my conversation with Vessi Kapoulian. She has 18 years of business experience, which includes 14 years of commercial lending and 4 years of business management/sales/marketing. Vessi started her real estate journey in 2017. Today, Vessi controls a portfolio of investment real estate properties in Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia (161 doors, 6 properties). Her lending experience has served her well in developing a conservative and analytical approach to assessing risk and investing prudently in real estate in order to maximize returns. Her business experience has helped develop a solutions-oriented and execution-focused approach, which has served well in the asset managing her real estate portfolio.

In this episode, Vessi discusses how she found her first deals and how she channels her energy to find JVs and syndicated deals. She shares her advice for new and seasoned investors. She emphasizes the importance of having similar values, goals, and risk tolerance when partnering with others. She notes that you don’t know whether or not you’ll be able to succeed until you’re actually in a deal, which is why it’s important to join a team.
