🎥 DESCRIPTION
On this episode, we sit down with Andrew Cushman to talk about what it really takes to thrive in real estate - especially multifamily - given today’s unique market. Andrew shares how he went from a chemical engineer making cold calls on a flip phone to owning thousands of units, and we unpack the mindset, systems, and long-term strategy that fueled that journey. We dive into lessons from the last cycle, how to build a portfolio when deals are scarce, why the next upcycle could be massive, and how hiring the right people and building partnerships changed everything for his business... and his life!
Specifically, we talk about:
• why multifamily prices could be down 20–30%, but long-term outlook is strong
• how he survived a nightmare first deal in Georgia
• how to build investor trust through honesty, not hype
• the importance of hiring early
• and so much more!
