My Lessons from $145 Million of Apartments with John Casmon, Ep. 700

For this special 700th episode of Multifamily Insights, we’re doing something a little different! Instead of me interviewing a guest, I’m sharing an episode where I was the guest on The Mark Faris Experience. In this conversation, I dive into my journey into multifamily investing, how I built my platform, and the key lessons I’ve learned along the way. Tune in to hear my thoughts on mindset, scaling a business, and finding success in real estate investing.
