Many believe they need years of experience or their own capital to do a deal—but Michael explains why neither is true. By reframing these misconceptions and focusing on building the right team and skill set, you can fast-track your path to your first multifamily deal and start scaling much faster than you thought possible. 🔑 Key Takeaways Myth #1: You need experience to get started — you can leverage a team and partners to “borrow” credibility and track record. Myth #2: You need your own money — raising capital is a learnable skill and a core part of syndication. Syndication is a team sport — success comes from assembling the right people, not doing everything yourself. Taking action matters more than perfection — waiting until you feel “ready” delays progress unnecessarily. You can specialize in one role (deal finder or capital raiser) instead of mastering everything upfront. Breaking these two myths unlocks momentum , making your first deal far more achievable than most people think.
