#405: Investing While Working Full-Time, Cincinnati Real Estate, and so much more!- with Jay Balekar

Jay Balekar is a Real Estate Investment Expert.

Jay is a principal at Compounding Capital Group, a private real estate investment firm that operates more than 5,000 multi-family units in 14 cities, across 8 states.

Jay is a successful business and technology leader with roots in technology consulting. Jay started investing in real estate in 2015 to diversify his investment portfolio. Jay grew passionate about real estate after doing his first few multi-family repositioning deals after realizing the true potential of real estate to create generational wealth, passive income, tax benefits, and a positive impact on society by providing people the most basic need of housing.

Quote:

"One thing I realized was when you actually work as a team, you're not doing everything yourself…everything is shared which is the biggest benefit when investing together with other people. In retrospect, if there is one thing I could change, I would probably start investing in a group with other people earlier than I did."

"The lessons learned in any heavy-lift type of project is that whatever you estimate the rehab cost is going to be, just assume it's going to be 2x…and have enough money raised."
