Creative Financing, Cold Calling, and Building a $127M Portfolio with Matthew Teifke of TR3 Capital
Description
Episode Summary
In this episode of Groundbreakers, Matthew Teifke, founder of TR3 Capital and Teifke Real Estate, shares how he built a $127M portfolio across multifamily, laundromats, RV parks, and more—while teaching others to underwrite, cold call, and close deals.
Matthew’s not your typical investor. He started real estate at 17, worked at a grocery store while closing deals, and built his brokerage from scratch. Today, he hosts a weekly Zoom class that brings together brokers, underwriters, and sponsors to break down live opportunities and source deals directly.
