From College Dropout to $1B in Real Estate w/ Rob Beardsley

College dropout Rob Beardsley started buying multifamily real estate at 21 years old. Today, his company manages over $1 billion in assets across 25 properties with more than 200 employees and zero investor losses.

In this episode, Rob breaks down:

  • How he scaled to $1B AUM before 30
  • The biggest mistakes multifamily operators made during the boom
  • Why most Class C deals aren’t worth the headache
  • The real reason masterminds accelerate success
  • How to survive market cycles and scale the right way
  • Why long-term thinking beats chasing fast money

This is one of the most practical conversations we’ve had on multifamily investing, scaling a real estate company, and building through difficult markets.
