The Cost of Doing Real Estate Alone with Josh Green

In this conversation, Brian sits down with an investor who spent years evaluating other people’s deals before deciding to build his own. The transition wasn’t clean or obvious—and it didn’t happen because he lacked skill. It happened because knowing the numbers eventually stopped being enough.

They unpack what actually changes when you leave an institutional role, why going independent is harder than most investors admit, and how betting on overlooked markets can work—if you understand the tradeoffs.

This episode is for investors who feel stuck between “ready” and “exposed,” and are trying to figure out what the next real step looks like.

If you’re serious about building a real multifamily investing business, the conversation doesn’t end here.
