    🎥 DESCRIPTION
    Chad Schieler shares how he went from spending nearly two decades in sales to building a 500+ unit real estate portfolio in just a few years. He breaks down how he raised nearly $10 million without a podcast or social media following, and why self-funding his first deals gave him the confidence to scale. It’s a powerful look at grit, systems, and the mindset needed to go big in multifamily real estate.

    In this episode, we also talk about:
    • Built 500+ units in just 4 years
    • Raised $10M with zero social media presence
    • Focused on B-class properties in Midwest markets
    • Uses monthly emails and gifts to nurture investors
    • and SO much more

    🎥 DESCRIPTION
    I break down the most critical skill in real estate: deal analysis. I walk through my personal framework for running the numbers, spotting red flags, and separating “phantom” cash flow from real cash flow. If you want to buy properties that actually build wealth—not bankrupt you—this one’s a must-listen.

    In this episode, we also talk about:
    • Why deal analysis is the #1 skill in real estate
    • Four key theories for analyzing deals
    • Phantom vs. pure cash flow explained
    • Common expenses most investors overlook
    • The truth about CapEx and hidden costs
    • How to calculate true ROI and cash-on-cash return
    • Red flags in pro formas and broker numbers
    • and SO much more

Thank You

Thank you, Brandon, for this interview with David. Everything you two have talked about in this episode is impacting my life right now in a huge way. I recently bought my 1st investment property, and it's not cash flowing as I would like it to be. However, it's a good property in a good location. Still, I doubt myself almost every day wondering if I made the right decision because there's no cash flow. But what David said in this episode is keeping me positive and hopeful for the future, so thank you.
