In this episode, I share why developing specialized skills, rather than becoming a generalist,  allows you to scale and grow your multifamily portfolio more effectively. I discuss why determining whether you are going to become someone who's excellent at finding deals, raising debt/equity, or operating deals is key to removing the ambiguity around your business.

This makes it easier for others to invest in your deals, connect you with people who can bring value to your business, and potentially partner with you, as well.

I also use an analogy where I talk about Stringer Bell and The Wire... so this will be a fun episode for all of you out there who are fans of the show, like myself.
