226: How Whitney Sewell Scaled to Over 1,000 Doors in Only 4 Years!

In my latest podcast interview, I’m speaking with Whitney Sewell, who went from no experience in real estate, to scaling to over 1,000 doors valued at $150 million—in just 4 years! 

Before ever investing in real estate, Whitney served in the military and spent a full year in Iraq fighting for our country. After returning home, he got married, joined the police force, invested in a few properties, and even bought a farm to pursue a horse training business on the side. 

Unfortunately, his fast-paced lifestyle left little time for his family, so he decided to sell the farm, quit his job, and pursue multifamily real estate full-time. 

He bought a few triplexes for his first few deals, and admits to making a ton of mistakes along the way. But the work ethic and “never give up” mindset he learned in the military, would become his real estate super power. 

Today, Whitney is host of The Real Estate Syndication Show and Founder of Life Bridge Capital—a syndicated multifamily investment firm that works with investors on strategically targeted multifamily properties. 

In our conversation, you’ll learn exactly how he was able to scale so quickly, the benefits of a multifamily fund structure (versus one-off deals), and how to leverage the skills of others to build a highly successful real estate business!
