Four investors sat down at our monthly 4-Doors to More Doors meetup and walked through exactly how they built their portfolios. Not theory. First deals, real street corners, real numbers, and the mistakes they'd tell you to avoid.

Brad went from zero to more than 400 doors and left his corporate job. Mark has built 24 ADUs and started in the late 1970s when banks simply weren't lending. Brian owns multifamily across Long Beach plus self-storage and has never chased a cheaper market out of state. Victor came into real estate by accident and now operates more than 20 Jersey Mike's locations alongside his apartment portfolio.

None of them were handed a building. That's the whole point of this panel.

Investors chase the highest cap rate. Investors also want the building that doesn't need work. You almost never get both in the same deal, because renovated product trades at a compressed cap rate and the high-cap deals are the ones that need a contractor on speed dial.

This one breaks that rule.

Cody and I are walking through our newest listing at 5529 Dairy Ave in North Long Beach. It's 10 units, taken down to the studs and rebuilt: new roof, new plumbing, new electrical, new windows, tankless water heaters, high-end finishes in every unit. Asking price is $3.35M, which prices it at a 10.87 gross rent multiplier and a 7% cap rate on current rents.

For context, the Long Beach average over the last 12 months on 5+ unit properties is an 11 GRM and a 6.4% cap. This building beats the market on both, and normally the only properties that beat the market are the ones that still need a lot of work.

've spoken with hundreds of apartment owners across California, and in 2026 the same four reasons keep coming up for why they're selling. Rent control, insurance, evictions, and values. In this episode I break down each one honestly, including what it's costing owners right now and why I'm still buying anyway.
