Real Estate Expert Explains How He Built a $800m Portfolio over 30 Years

MB Digital Team — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 06:42:42 -0400

Recently I had the opportunity to interview Brian Burke, a real estate investor who has acquired over $800 million in real estate including over 4,000 multifamily units and more than 700 single-family homes, with proprietary software that he wrote himself.

In our interview (click here to watch on YouTube), he told me how he scaled his real estate from zero to an $800+ million portfolio over 30 years and I want to relay that information to you in this article.

The first thing he told me, which I’ll use as the starting point for this article, is that real estate is a team sport. Scaling a business is challenging, and many investors struggle with this because they don't understand how crucial a good team is.

Without the right people, scaling becomes almost impossible. If you try to do everything yourself, you'll hit a ceiling very quickly. You won't grow, and you might even burn out.

Here are some key things I’ve learned and Brian agrees with to scale successfully:

1. Start Small, Then Grow

You don't have to begin with a massive deal.

My first apartment deal was 12 units in D.C. Brian’s was a small property with no money down, which was tough but possible when he was 20 years old. He used creative financing methods – credit cards, personal lines of credit, even convincing sellers to carry back loans – to purchase more properties.

The biggest thing is to start building your track record in the field that you’re interested in. In our case, we’re talking about multifamily real estate. If you want to do your first apartment deal, you wouldn’t start by buying a single-family home.

Investors will trust you more if you've done several successful smaller deals than if you have no track record and want millions for your first big deal.

2. Build the Right Team

You simply can't scale without a team. Real estate investing needs different skills and expertise:

Contractors: You need reliable people who can fix up properties efficiently.
Brokers and agents: They help you find great deals and understand the local market.
Property managers: Essential for managing larger properties effectively.
Lenders and insurance agents: Key to financing deals and protecting your investments.

A team isn't just about hiring people. It's about partnering with those who have different strengths and experiences than you do.

If everyone thinks and acts like you, your team won't grow stronger—it'll just be more of the same. Partner with people who complement your weaknesses, and you'll scale faster.

3. Leverage Your Network

When entering a new market, start by asking brokers who the top property managers are. Then, ask property managers about the best contractors and insurance providers. Each person you talk to can lead you to another valuable team member. Your network grows your network – leverage it.

This approach helps you quickly establish yourself even in unfamiliar markets, saving time and reducing risks.

4. Use Technology

When Brian started investing, there was barely an internet – just dial-up connections. Today you have access to tools like Google Maps, online investor forums, online listings, podcasts, virtual meetups, and even AI.

You can use all of those things and more to:

Analyze neighborhoods remotely using online tools.
Connect with investors around the world instantly.
Learn from successful investors through podcasts and forums.
Use AI for property management and deal analysis.

Leveraging these tools means you can scale faster than I ever could. Don't underestimate the power of technology.

5. Embrace Failure as Learning

Success isn’t final and failure isn’t fatal. I've learned more from my failures than my successes. Lots of my students say the moments they learned the most were during a setback.

Each misstep taught me something valuable about investing and business. If you're afraid of failing, you might never start or scale effectively.

Understand this clearly: failure is part of the journey. Don't fear it; learn from it. Every successful investor has made mistakes. The key is using them as stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks.

Your Next Steps

So, how do you start scaling your business today?

Build your team early: Don't wait until you're overwhelmed.
Start with smaller deals: Prove your skills and reliability.
Network proactively: Leverage your contacts to find trustworthy team members.
Embrace technology: Use digital tools to boost your efficiency.
Learn from mistakes: Treat failures as opportunities to improve.

If you're serious about scaling your real estate business and want more practical insights, watch the full interview with Brian Burke where we dive deeper into each one of these steps.

MB463: The Different Ways to Become Financially Free – With Michael Blank

MB Digital Team — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 11:43:41 -0400

SHOW NOTES

In this episode, Michael Blank breaks down the four biggest paths to financial freedom—and helps you decide which one is right for you. If you’re stuck in a 9-to-5 job, spinning your wheels with side gigs, or wondering how to escape the rat race, this episode is a must-listen.

Michael walks through the pros and cons of digital marketing, franchising, business ownership, and real estate investing, revealing which strategy actually creates true financial independence—without burning you out.

Key Takeaways

Why Most Strategies Fail to Create Financial Freedom

Many people jump from one side hustle to another without achieving real wealth.
A true financial freedom strategy must be scalable, passive, and low-risk.

The Pros and Cons of Different Wealth Strategies

Flipping Houses & Rentals: Hard to scale, requires constant work, and isn’t truly passive.
Short-Term Rentals (AirBnBs): Declining profits, oversaturated market, and unpredictable regulations.
Buying a Business or Franchise: Can be lucrative, but still requires you to run it.

Why Multifamily Real Estate is the Best Path to Freedom

One deal can generate massive passive income without working harder.
You can raise capital from investors and scale quickly.
Multifamily investing has built-in tax advantages to help you keep more of your money.

How to Use Inflation to Your Advantage in Real Estate Investing

MB Digital Team — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 06:41:34 -0400

Inflation has been making headlines for the past couple of years, and if you're a real estate investor (or thinking about becoming one), you’re probably wondering—how does this impact me and my investments?

Is it good? Is it bad? And most importantly, what should I be doing right now to make the most of it?

The truth is, inflation isn’t all bad. In fact, if you know how to use it to your advantage, inflation in real estate can let you keep more of your money and grow your wealth while the dollar loses value. But there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about it.

Today, I want to show you why real estate values rise with inflation and how to structure deals to maximize cash flow.

Let’s do this.

Inflation Drives Up Property Values and Rents

Inflation has been running hot for over two years now, and we’ve all felt the impact—higher prices on gas, groceries, and just about everything else. For real estate investors, inflation affects both the cost of doing business and the value of the assets we own.

Here are 2 things you need to know about the relationship between real estate and inflation before we move on:

Inflation can drive up property values and rents, which is great for owners.
But it also increases expenses—insurance, labor, maintenance, and property taxes.

So, is inflation good or bad for real estate? Well, it depends on how you approach it. If you’re in the right kind of real estate—multifamily, for example—it can actually work in your favor. But if you’re relying on strategies like flipping houses or single-family rentals, you might run into problems.

Why? Because single-family real estate is more tied to market fluctuations. If inflation pushes interest rates up (like it has in the past two years), home prices can drop, making flips riskier and less profitable.

So what’s my solution for this? How do I leverage inflation?

2 Reasons That Multifamily Real Estate Wins in an Inflationary Market

1. Multifamily Real Estate Is Naturally Hedged Against Inflation

One of the biggest reasons I love multifamily real estate is that it actually benefits from inflation over time.

When inflation goes up, so do rents. And since rental income is the biggest factor in a property's value, higher rents lead to higher property values. That means if you own a multifamily property, you’re positioned to ride the inflation wave instead of getting crushed by it.

Additionally, expenses in multifamily don’t rise as fast as rental income does. Sure, costs go up, but as long as rents outpace those expenses, your net operating income (NOI) increases—driving up the value of your asset.

2. Interest Rates and Inflation Are Creating Buying Opportunities

From 2020 to 2022, investors were overleveraging—taking on too much debt and paying too much for properties. Now, many of those deals are struggling because their financing costs have skyrocketed.

That means opportunities are opening up for smart investors who understand the market. Right now, we’re seeing:

Lower leverage deals (65-75% loan-to-value), which means less risk.
Fixed-rate financing, so you’re protected from future interest rate hikes.
Higher cap rates, meaning you can buy properties at a discount compared to two years ago.

This is why I believe 2025 is a prime time to get into multifamily investing. We’re seeing deals at 30% discounts compared to what they were just a couple of years ago.

How to Take Advantage of This Opportunity

If you’re serious about investing in real estate but haven’t made the jump yet, here’s what you should do next:

1️⃣ Start Learning the Fundamentals – The best way to get started is to educate yourself. That’s why I created the Apartments 101 Masterclass, which walks you through everything step by step.

2️⃣ Build Your Team – You don’t have to do this alone. Multifamily is a team sport, and when you have the right people on your side—brokers, property managers, lenders, and investors—you can scale much faster.

3️⃣ Look at Deals Now – The best way to learn is by taking action. Even if you’re not ready to pull the trigger today, start analyzing deals and talking to brokers so you’re prepared when the right opportunity comes along.

4️⃣ Leverage the Right Financing – In today’s market, fixed-rate loans and conservative leverage are key to reducing risk and ensuring long-term success.

Inflation isn’t going away, and if you’re sitting on the sidelines, you’re missing out on one of the best wealth-building opportunities in real estate. Multifamily investing is scalable, stable, and a proven hedge against inflation—but you have to take action.

Comparing Different Real Estate Asset Classes

MB Digital Team — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:57:59 -0500

Let's talk about different real estate asset classes. This is a topic that’s often accompanied by the question, “What’s the best real estate asset to invest in?” It isn’t an easy question to answer because there are so many strategies.

There are fix-and-flips, short- and long-term rentals, co-living, PadSplits (these are single-family), multifamily apartments, duplexes, self-storage, mobile home parks, and even parking lots.

Generally, my answer leans towards multifamily apartments, but “the best” really depends on the market and the person. In today’s article, I’m going to compare and contrast some of these assets to help you understand the fundamentals of each.

Let’s do this.

Comparing Real Estate Asset Classes

There are 6 assets I’ll talk about in this article. They are:

Renting out single-family homes
Short-term rentals (like Airbnb)
Self-storage and mobile home parks
Industrial and warehouse spaces
Hospitality assets (hotels, resorts, etc)
Multifamily apartments

Single-Family Homes

The first on the list that we’ll talk about is renting out single-family homes. This is typically where most investors start out after reading books like Rich Dad Poor Dad and catch the “real estate fever.”

In the long run, they’re difficult to scale – meaning that the amount of work and effort put into the investment increases in proportion to the size of the portfolio. In other words, if one house takes 3 hours a month to manage, then two houses would need 6 hours, 4 horses would need 12 hours, and so on.

Single-family homes are relatively easy to finance and this strategy has one of the lowest barriers of entry. Other things to note: Acquiring additional mortgages can be a challenge.

Short-Term Rentals

The second strategy on the list is short-term rentals. These are normally single-family houses but are rented out on platforms like Airbnb. These “vacation rentals” can generate strong cash flow and similar to single-family rentals (SFR), have a low barrier to entry.

The biggest problems with Airbnb right now are regulations are constantly (look at New York) changing and demand is highly seasonal. In the right location, a well-maintained property can kill, but it requires hands-on management.

Self-Storage and Mobile Home Parks

Third on the list are self-storage and mobile home parks. This asset class has been slowly increasing in popularity for investors due to their growing demand (affordable housing) and lower maintenance costs.

However, since they are more “niche” strategies, they require specific industry knowledge to operate effectively. Many investors shy away from them simply because they don’t understand the nuances of managing these properties.

Industrial and Warehouse Spaces

Next are industrial and warehouse spaces. Both of these assets have seen high growth driven mostly by the rise of e-commerce – online shops need places to store their products. More specifically, the demand for distribution centers is stronger than ever.

However, similarly to self-storage, entering this space requires significant capital and market expertise. It’s a high-barrier-to-entry asset class that isn’t easily accessible to most investors.

Hospitality Assets (Hotels and Resorts)

Fourth on our list today are hospitality assets, such as hotels and resorts. These can also be highly profitable but are also extremely cyclical. During economic booms, they flourish.

People have the money to travel and need a place to stay. But during downturns – like ones with government-mandated quarantine – like the COVID-19 pandemic, can decimate the industry overnight. Hotels require strong operational teams and intensive management, making them riskier than other real estate investments.

Multifamily Apartments

The last asset on the list that we’ll talk about today is multifamily properties. Like I said at the beginning of this article, this is my personal favorite. Real estate should meet real needs, which apartments do well. They provide an affordable option for housing which is in high demand right now.

People always need a place to live, making apartments one of the most recession-resistant asset classes available. With the ability to force appreciation through better management and increased rental income, multifamily properties offer an accessible yet powerful way for investors to scale their portfolios efficiently. Unlike other multimillion-dollar assets (like storage or hotels), multifamily has a low barrier of entry similar to single-family housing.

Getting Started with Multifamily Investing

How is it possible that apartments have a low barrier of entry? It sounds like an advanced strategy, not to mention expensive. I used to think the same thing. That was until I realized that the only “barrier” was that I didn’t understand the fundamentals. Those fundamentals are:

People need an affordable place to live. That’s demand.
Investors need a safer alternative to the stock market that creates passive income

Obviously there’s a little more to it. You need to know a little more about apartments themselves, how to build a team (you don’t have to be an expert in everything), how to find deals, and how to raise money.

If you’re interested in building a strong foundation in each of these areas so that you can buy your first apartment building, then watch my free 1-hour apartment training on demand here.

I hope this helps.

To your success,

MB461: The 4th Pillar of Apartment Investing Success: Deal Capital – With Michael Blank

MB Digital Team — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:35:09 -0500

SHOW NOTES

In this episode of the Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing podcast, Michael Blank wraps up the powerful 4-part series on the “4 Pillars of Apartment Investing Success” – a framework to get your first or next deal under contract in as little as 6 to 18 months. Today’s focus is on the final pillar, Deal Capital. In the last three episodes, Michael discussed becoming Deal Ready, establishing Deal Flow, and mastering Deal Analysis. Now, he dives into the importance of Deal Capital, where you’ll learn how to raise the funds you need to act quickly when the right deal comes along.

If you’ve ever felt that raising capital is daunting or worried about making mistakes, Michael breaks down the proven methods that have helped his students raise millions in capital, purchase over 41,000 apartment units, and build wealth using Other People’s Money (OPM).

Key Takeaways

The Basics of Deal Capital

Securing capital is essential to closing multifamily deals, but many investors are unsure how to raise funds effectively, especially before they have a property under contract.
Michael explains that raising capital doesn’t require you to have your own funds; you can leverage Other People’s Money (OPM) to build wealth.
He shares strategies to begin conversations with investors early, so you’re ready to move quickly when a great deal comes your way.

Creating a “Sample Deal Package”

The “Sample Deal Package” is a powerful tool that allows you to present an example of a typical deal to potential investors, even before you have a specific property identified.
This package provides potential investors with a clear picture of the type of opportunities you’re looking for, showcasing your vision and approach.
By educating investors rather than “selling” to them, the Sample Deal Package builds trust and interest, making them more likely to invest when you’re ready to close a deal.

How to Find Investors in Your Network

Raising capital often starts with people you already know, so don’t overlook your network – talk to everyone about what you’re doing.
Michael emphasizes that you’re not selling an investment; you’re educating your network about multifamily opportunities and solving a problem for them by offering passive income.
Approach potential investors as partners in wealth-building, showing them how they can benefit from passive income through real estate.

Approaching Investor Conversations as Education, Not Sales

Many investors are looking for passive income opportunities but may not know how multifamily real estate can work for them.
Instead of a sales pitch, approach conversations as education – show them the potential of multifamily investing without pressuring them.
When you position yourself as a resource, you create authentic relationships where investors feel comfortable asking questions and investing with confidence.

Success Stories Using the Deal Capital Approach

Michael shares how many of his students have used this approach to successfully raise capital, purchasing over 41,000 apartment units valued at $1.5 billion.
By focusing on education, strategic networking, and a clear investment approach, these students have been able to simplify the capital-raising process and close deals more easily.
These stories demonstrate that with the right approach, raising capital becomes an achievable part of multifamily success, even for first-time investors.

Show Notes

Danny shares what’s happened over the last week in his getting back into buying houses. Issues with closing prevented him from getting the deal wrapped up that he put under contract several weeks ago. He also discusses how easy it is to procrastinate and do things within our comfort zone rather than doing the things that are going to move the needle the most. It’s a quick episode but with a powerful message. Enjoy!

In this week’s episode I share a couple stories related to maintaining control over a deal when necessary. I also share what it means to have patience and belief that deals will come. Forcing things to happen rather than allowing things to happen is the opposite of what we want. Make sense of that!

Got my marketing processes in place and ready to start skip tracing and calling probate and driving for dollars prospects that I’ve put into FlipPilot.

This week I got 2 motivated seller leads from my LeadPropeller website. 1 didn’t have enough equity and the other…that one accepted my offer! The numbers work out better to fix and flip this one.
