In this episode, Dwayne sits down with Rod Khleif, a Dutch immigrant turned real estate mogul who has owned over 2,000 houses and thousands of apartment units. Rod shares his journey from humble beginnings to massive success, including losing $50 million in 2008 and rebuilding his empire. He provides valuable insights into multifamily real estate investing, the importance of mindset, and why giving back has been crucial to his success. The conversation covers everything from technical aspects of real estate investing to the psychological elements of success.
Key Takeaways

4. Real estate investing is a team sport - different roles include analytics, relationship building, and asset management
5. Education and mentorship are crucial - avoid "dabbling" in real estate
6. Current market conditions (high interest rates, adjustable rate debt) are creating opportunities in multifamily real estate
7. Giving back and creating value for others leads to greater success
