How Multifamily Real Estate Helps Investors Build Wealth Beyond Stocks
What does it really look like to go from a corporate job to building a multifamily investing business?
In this episode, I sit down with Paula Nichols, co-founder of Apogee Capital, to share how we made the transition from corporate careers into real estate investing. What started as a side project quickly turned into something much bigger, and in this conversation, we walk through how that journey unfolded and what it actually took to build it into a business.
We go beyond the surface of real estate investing and talk about what really happens behind the scenes, from asset management and executing business plans to working with investors and making decisions that directly impact performance. We also share the parts most people do not see, the discipline, tradeoffs, and level of involvement required to actually deliver results. If you are looking to understand how multifamily investing actually works and what it takes to do it well, this episode will give you a clear starting point.
