This episode highlights two great conversations with Darin Batchelder and Denise Piazza. They will share how they scaled from passive to active real estate investments. Darin has a diverse background as a CPA, software sales executive, capital markets, loan trading, business owner, to multifamily syndication. He shares about the run-up to that first deal, including finding the perfect partner – someone more experienced from whom he learned a lot and who gave additional credibility to the deal. He also walks us through the process of starting out with passive investment to active investment by becoming a deal sponsor.

Denise Piazza started both passive and active investments across multiple asset classes. Then she developed a passion for multifamily space and pursued a more active role as GP. In this episode, Denise details four things that have helped accelerate her transition from passive to active. She mentioned the importance of finding the right mentor with the complementary skill sets to hers, being disciplined and willing to sacrifice, and transparent. 

Key Points From This Episode: 

• The value of starting off investing passively in other people’s deals.
• The need to fully understand agreements and communications from deal sponsors.  
• It is more advantageous to invest in the multifamily asset class than in the stock market.  
• Darin’s process of becoming a sponsor in his own right and learning to push through fear.
