In this episode, I interview John Casmon of Casmon Capital Group and the host of the Multifamily Insights podcast. John shares his journey from working in corporate America to becoming a major player in real estate investing. His initial step into the world was through a two-unit building, which set the foundation for scaling up to larger investments, eventually leading to a 192-unit deal in San Antonio, Texas.
John emphasizes the importance of understanding one's goals in real estate investing, highlighting the shift from smaller deals to larger syndications not as a chase for more units, but as a strategic move to offer better opportunities for investors. He shares critical advice for those looking to make similar leaps, stressing the need to clear on objectives and the value of partnership and networking. The episode also explores the transition from hands-on property management to a more strategic role of asset management, offering listeners valuable lessons on growth, scale, and the significance of building a team and systems for success.
