Description

People think being a multifamily operator is glamorous — that it’s passive income, freedom, and kicking back while the money rolls in. The truth? It’s chaos.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a real day in my life — juggling four jobs (multifamily operator, full-time teacher, surf coach, and waiter), nonstop phone calls, constant decision-making, and the family moments that keep me going.

This is the unfiltered reality of what it takes to be an operator — and why maybe, just maybe, being an LP is the better move for some of you.

📌 In this episode you’ll learn:

  • What a real day looks like for a multifamily GP

  • The mental load and decision fatigue that comes with operations

  • Why health and discipline matter just as much as financials

  • Why LP investing may be a better fit for some people

  • How chaos and grind build legacy
