Welcome back to the Real Estate Syndication Show. I'm your host, Whitney Sewell, and in today's highlight episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Dan French, a seasoned real estate professional with nearly two decades of experience. Dan is the Managing Director of ATX Acquisitions and CEO at ResProp Management, with an impressive track record of managing over $2 billion in assets and operating 15,000 apartment units.Throughout the episode, Dan shared his journey in real estate, starting at the age of 25 with small deals and growing into a significant player in the industry. He candidly discussed the challenges he and his business partner, Pete Rex, faced during the 2008 financial crisis, including being overleveraged and having insufficient capital reserves. These experiences taught them valuable lessons about downside protection and the importance of having a strong team.Dan emphasized the significance of building an A-class team and how their shared mission and integrity have been crucial to their success. He also touched on the current market conditions, including the bid-ask spread issue, and how his team is preparing for potential opportunities with a general partner fund that allows investors to either choose individual deals or invest in a diversified portfolio.Click here to listen to the full episodes:https://lifebridgecapital.com/2023/10/27/tips-for-better-downside-protection-dan-french/https://lifebridgecapital.com/2023/10/30/market-trends-you-need-to-be-aware-of-dan-french/Remember to like, subscribe, and share the Real Estate Syndication Show with friends who are interested in the world of real estate investing.
