·23 min
Dan Brisse, former professional snowboarder and X Games gold medalist, shares how watching athlete heroes lose everything after their careers ended drove him to build a multifamily real estate business starting in 2012. The episode covers his progression from a duplex to a 28-unit deal to professional syndication, the lessons learned from a bad deal during the 2020-2022 bubble, his current criteria (150-400 units, 1990-2010 vintage, A+ locations in Dallas-Fort Worth and Nashville, 5-7 year fixed debt at 70% LTV), and the tax advantages of the real estate professional designation. Kathy Fetke also promotes the RealWealth multifamily fund throughout.
