In this episode of Path of Progress, Alex Kononov sits down with Nicholas Delmonico, Founder and CEO of Iron Focus Investments, a multifamily investment firm with 387 units and over $34 million in assets under management.

Nicholas's journey didn't start in real estate. After working long hours in finance at firms like, he realized the traditional career path wasn't giving him the freedom or impact he wanted. That realization led him into multifamily syndication, where he eventually left his corporate job to pursue real estate full-time.

In this conversation, Nicholas shares how he landed his first 106-unit apartment deal, navigated a devastating property fire, acquired a cash-flowing 126-unit value-add asset in Texas, and expanded into assisted living facilities in Florida. He also reveals how the discipline required to complete five Ironman races has shaped his investing mindset and business philosophy.

Whether you're an aspiring investor, entrepreneur, or someone looking to build wealth through commercial real estate, this episode is packed with practical lessons on scaling, resilience, underwriting, partnerships, and long-term thinking.

📌 Key Takeaways:

✅ How Nicholas transitioned from finance to multifamily investing

✅ Why he skipped duplexes and went straight into large apartment syndications

✅ The power of networking and masterminds in finding deals and partners

✅ Lessons learned from a 106-unit property that suffered a major fire

✅ How loan assumptions created opportunities in a high-rate environment

✅ The strategy behind a successful 126-unit value-add acquisition

✅ Why assisted living offers unique upside for investors

✅ How Nicholas evaluates distressed real estate opportunities

✅ Building investor relationships and raising capital

✅ The Ironman mindset for business growth and resilience

In this episode of Path of Progress, Alex Kononov sits down with Dan Costantino, an operator who scaled from flipping houses on the side to acquiring a 305-unit, $18M multifamily portfolio.

Dan didn’t start in real estate full-time. While working a W2 in logistics and sales, he began flipping houses and slowly building a rental portfolio on the side. Over time, he transitioned into larger deals, eventually taking a massive leap into multifamily.

But this deal didn’t go as planned.

After closing, Dan uncovered serious issues—occupancy wasn’t what it seemed, tenant quality was poor, and income projections quickly fell apart. Within the first year, the property faced a $600K+ deficit, forcing him to pause investor distributions and navigate one of the toughest periods of his career.

This episode is a raw, behind-the-scenes look at what really happens when scaling goes wrong—and what it takes to recover.

From raising millions in capital to rebuilding operations and restoring investor trust, Dan shares lessons that most investors only learn the hard way.

Whether you're just starting out or scaling into larger deals, this episode is packed with real-world insights, hard truths, and valuable strategies.

📌 Key Takeaways:

✅ How Dan scaled from flips to 300+ units
✅ The real story behind the $18M deal
✅ What went wrong after closing the property
✅ The risks of inaccurate occupancy and projections
✅ Losing $600K+ and handling financial pressure
✅ Why he paused investor payments
✅ How he stabilized and turned the deal around
✅ Raising $5M in capital for large deals
✅ The importance of due diligence at scale
✅ Why scaling too fast can backfire

In this episode of Path of Progress, Alex Kononov sits down with William Liu, multifamily investor, operator, and co-founder of GiveRise Capital. Together with his wife Anita, William oversees 160+ units and $37 million+ in assets under management — all while prioritizing family, values-aligned partnerships, and long-term wealth.

William’s journey is anything but traditional: from 4 years in the US Army as a Psychological Operations specialist to a 20-year corporate marketing career that took him from ad tech analyst all the way to Chief Marketing Officer in higher education.

A forced W2 exit right before his daughter was born became the catalyst to go all-in on real estate.

✅ From Army PSYOP to CMO — how 20 years of marketing became the ultimate capital-raising superpower

✅ The “forced exit” moment that made him choose family and assets over corporate stability

✅ First deal: 76-unit Class C in Irving, TX — buying from an upside-down seller and managing concessions in a tough market

✅ Second deal nine months later: 82-unit 2017 Class A in Richardson — value-add office-to-unit conversion + supplemental loan strategy

✅ Why values alignment and spending full days with potential partners beats any LOI

✅ Applying investor funnels, CRM, and content to syndication (exactly like performance marketing)

✅ Property management vs. asset management — the lesson that changed everything

✅ Building community through Subtle Asian Real Estate and targeting Asian-American investors in their 30s–40s
