He Almost Quit Before the First Deal with Michael Rebelo

Most aspiring apartment investors quit right before momentum starts.

What looks like failure is often the final friction point before proof of concept.

In this conversation, we unpack what happens between learning and actually closing — and why that gap breaks most people.

If you’re serious about building real momentum instead of collecting education, the conversation doesn’t stop here. Inside the Tribe of Titans multifamily investing community, we work through real deals together — live underwriting, capital raising conversations, and operator-level decision making.
