The Paper Trail

Just because you are rich doesn’t mean you are wealthy. If you look deeper, wealth goes beyond earning more money. Our guest in this episode is a testament to that. Chris Seveney welcomes Justin Moy from Realm Investors who tells us his background in real estate and how he got started in the industry. Justin shares his early experiences working in commercial real estate and his transition into real estate sales, touching on the challenges he faced and the sacrifices he made in pursuit of financial success. Eventually, he realized that he needed to shift his focus from transactional wealth to building long-term wealth through passive income. Justin takes us across his pivots from multifamily investments and syndication to the short-term rental market. He discusses the advantages of short-term rentals and the operational efficiencies he and his team were able to achieve. Justin also touches on the challenges faced by newcomers in the multifamily market and the importance of timing and education in real estate investment. Tune in to this conversation to gain more valuable insights from Justin's real estate journey and the decision-making process behind his investment strategies.

It is possible to build a substantial portfolio of rental properties while keeping your W-2 job. But that doesn’t mean everything is easy, especially if you’re going through the syndication route. To keep your investors interested, you have to have a solid grasp on your market and numbers. That is essentially what Sterling Chapman has been through in his real estate journey. In the space of five years, he went from zero to having a portfolio of about 50 single family rental properties and tens of duplexes and fourplexes. It’s hard to believe that he started in his backyard market with one to four units, and in a market like South Louisiana. Tune in to this conversation and learn how Sterling was able to build his impressive portfolio and the lessons he has learned over the years.
