Episode notes
Most investors rely on public listings like LoopNet, CoStar, and MLS—competing with thousands for overpriced properties. But the best multifamily deals never make it to market. In this episode, Mark Faris and John Makarewicz break down proven strategies to source off-market multifamily properties, build key relationships, and secure high-value deals before the competition.
They discuss:
✔️ The power of broker relationships & why 95% of large multifamily deals go through brokers
✔️ How the right resident experience drives investment success
✔️ The dangers of "re-trading" and protecting your reputation in real estate
✔️ Why sellers prefer off-market deals—and how to position yourself as a top buyer
✔️ Direct-to-seller strategies for smaller properties
