You’re Starting Multifamily Backwards

Early-stage multifamily investing feels productive—analyzing deals, studying markets, talking to brokers—but none of that replaces income. In this Multifamily Brief, Brian breaks down the exact path he would follow if he had to start over from zero, including what he would stop doing immediately and where he would focus instead.

If you’re serious about building real momentum—not just consuming content—the deeper conversations happen inside the Tribe of Titans multifamily investing community, where investors work through real deals together with live discussion and direct support.

What You’ll Learn

In this episode, Brian challenges several assumptions that quietly stall aspiring investors, including:

• Why chasing “passive income” early creates false expectations
• The hidden cost of trying to do everything yourself
• What actually replaces income before cash flow ever does
• Why capital is the constraint—even for experienced operators
• How momentum is built before credibility feels earned

Drawing from his own experience replacing his income in three years while working a full-time job—and raising capital across multiple deals—Brian explains why focusing on capital first creates leverage that everything else depends on. He also shares how shifting this focus earlier would have materially changed his trajectory.
