The Secrets to Building a Million-Dollar Real Estate Portfolio (ft. Matt Cox)

A rental portfolio doesn’t scale on grit alone. Matt Cox joins us to map the leap from single family BRRRRs to 10–40 unit apartments—all while living in Manhattan and buying in Oregon.

We dive deep into the small-multifamily sweet spot where mom-and-pop owners leave money on the table. Think stale insurance, unchecked utilities, no RUBS, and rent rolls with big gaps across identical units. Standardize operations, right-size expenses, and even a $100 rent delta at a six cap becomes meaningful value.

On the build side, feeding AI your cost library turns blueprints into accurate material and labor takeoffs in minutes. We close on policy and affordability: tenant-friendly markets can be hard to operate in, yet scarcity often props returns—if you respect the rules, the risks, and the people whose money you steward.
