In this episode of the Major League Real Estate Podcast, Thomas Castelli and Nate Sosa sit down with Rob Beardsley, founder and CEO of LSCRE, to break down what it really takes to scale a vertically integrated multifamily business in today’s market. Rob shares how his firm grew to nearly $1 billion in Texas multifamily assets, why vertical integration gives operators more control, and where many investors misunderstand underwriting. He also explains why AI may improve operational efficiency more than underwriting itself, how strong investor relationships are built over time, and why tax strategy remains one of real estate’s biggest advantages. The conversation also covers 1031 exchange structuring, current multifamily market conditions, and what Rob is seeing as the best opportunities moving forward.
