We’re excited to feature Ross McArthur, Co-Founder of Follow The Deal, on the Diary of an Apartment Investor podcast, hosted by Brian Briscoe. In the episode titled “EXP – One Bite at a Time With Ross McArthur,” released on June 7, 2024, Ross shares the realities of building a multifamily investing business from the ground up—one calculated move at a time.
In this candid and informative conversation, Ross walks through the early-stage challenges of breaking into multifamily real estate, including deal analysis, raising capital, and managing properties effectively.
