188: Staying Nimble With Mission-Driven Multifamily Investing with Michael Wagman

  • Summary

  • HGTV has inspired many would-be real estate investors over the years, but it doesn’t usually reveal the difficulties new investors can face. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews Michael Wagman, founder and a Nimble Capital Group managing partner. Nimble Capital holds a multifamily, retail, commercial, and raw land asset portfolio. Michael got his start in real estate after watching a lot of flips on HGTV and deciding he could do it, too. Jonathan and Michael start their conversation by discussing how Michael landed in real estate after watching too much HGTV after he returned to the U.S. from living abroad. You’ll hear about Michael’s first flip, what led him to multifamily properties, and how he overcame the fear of risk and began using other people’s money (OPM) to scale the business. Michael shares how he met his business partner, his biggest change in looking for properties in today’s market, and the questions you should ask when considering a syndication.
