We’re excited to share that Ross McArthur, Co-Founder of Follow The Deal, was recently featured on the Real Estate Hustlers podcast, hosted by Josh Appelman. The episode, titled “Scaling to 700 Units in Under 4 Years While Navigating a Tricky Debt Environment,” is a must-listen for anyone looking to grow their real estate portfolio with intention and grit.
In this high-impact conversation, Ross opens up about his journey from high-level tech executive to full-time real estate investor. After spending 15 years scaling software companies—from startups to multibillion-dollar conglomerates—Ross made a bold leap in March 2023 to leave Corporate America and go all-in on his lifelong passion: real estate.
Since 2020, Ross has completed hundreds of transactions and scaled his holdings to over $40 million in assets across 700+ units. He also runs a residential flipping business averaging 30 projects per year and co-leads a group investing company acquiring 1 multifamily property per month. But what makes this episode truly valuable is Ross’s deep dive into the real strategies he’s using to succeed in today’s unpredictable debt environment—finding creative ways to structure deals, close faster, and keep money moving.
Listeners will walk away with actionable insights on team building, scaling operations, and why the velocity of money matters more than ever in real estate investing.
