real estate podcast , multifamily real estate podcast

An almost $2MM rebuild of a single-family home pushed Kristine Jefferson to transition into multifamily. The only problem was she knew that she wanted a partner for apartment investing to compliment her skillset. She found her teammate at a real estate meetup and focused on building a strong partnership that has led to a multifamily portfolio of 1400 units.

 

Her firm, Mission Bay Capital Partners, specializes in multifamily acquisitions and syndications. In this episode, Kristine shares what she learned from those single-family deals and how the skills transitioned into multifamily apartments, how to build strong partnerships, and how they scaled their portfolio of 1,400 units.
