On this week’s show, I interview Anthony Scandariato, co-founder of Red Knight Properties, and host of the Discovering Multifamily Podcast. I had the pleasure of speaking on his show so was happy to reciprocate. We start off the conversation by talking about how podcasts can leverage your presence in the market and help build great relationships. Maybe you’ll consider starting your own podcast after listening!

Anthony graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Economics and Management . While at school, he had the entrepreneurial drive so co-founded Ridgeview Partners that sold college apparel at over 110 retailers within the first-year operations. After a year, he decided he was looking for something more permanent so learned the real estate business at Vision Properties, where he was an Acquisitions & Asset Manager VP for their nationwide Class A office assets. He later said that his experience in those markets would help him branch out to build his own nationwide portfolio.

Anthony recounts how he started with a 2 family and ultimately built up a 70 unit portfolio with his partner Brian Leonard, who played 8 years in the NFL. After they established a track record, they brought on outside investors for their first large scale acquisition of a 51 unit apartment building in Northern NJ. After selling, they have now parlayed it into a 1,000+ unit portfolio in NJ, NY, PA, FL, Ohio, and Alabama.

There are some great lessons to learn from this podcast from the importance to being hands on to keeping your investors updated on a monthly basis. He states that there may never be a perfect time to start your own portfolio, but planning is essential to hit the ground running.
