John Okocha adopted an investor mindset when he was in high school after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. After starting out wholesaling, he became a realtor and then moved on to commercial real estate and multifamily acquisitions, working as the first hire for a company that scaled from 20 to more than 2,000 units in less than two years. Today, John has two areas of focus — serving as a debt and equity broker, and launching his own fund that will focus on value-add multifamily properties. In this episode, John discusses the niche that he’s establishing as a debt/equity broker and fund owner, the biggest thing that surprised him about scaling from 20 to 2,000 units, and what led him to launch his own fund.
