EP 487 - Discover how Azi Khan raised over $75M and acquired over $150M of real estate, including luxury rentals, industrial flex space, offices, and multifamily

“These are the times when real big fortunes are made.”

Discover how Azi Khan breaks down he's portfolio exceeding $150M and personally raised over $75M by focusing like a laser beam during distressed market cycles.

Azi shares lessons from buying his first duplex at 17, using friends-and-family capital to build trust deal by deal, and why capital preservation, low leverage, and long-term holds created compounding returns. He explains how today’s refinancing wall and oversupply are setting the stage for a generational buying window, why great deals attract capital faster than marketing ever will, and how disciplined underwriting, market demographics, and constant investor communication separate real operators from speculators. For investors and entrepreneurs looking to understand how to scale intelligently in the next 12–24 months, this conversation is a masterclass in patience, focus, and opportunity timing.
