How Brad Sumrok Became the Tony Robbins of Multifamily Investing

Season 1, Episode 4: In this episode of No Cap by CRE Daily, hosts Jack Stone and Alex Gornik dive into the journey of Brad Sumrok, famously known as the "Apartment King" in the multifamily real estate world. Starting with his first investment in a 32-unit apartment building in 2002, Brad replaced his 9 to 5 job income by 2005 and retired at the age of 38. Since then, he has invested in over 4,200 apartment units, and his mentoring students have collectively purchased over $2 billion worth of apartment buildings.

Brad shares his transition from a career in chemical engineering to becoming a prominent investor and coach in multifamily real estate. He discusses Tony Robbins's influence on his mindset and reveals how being fired from his corporate job spurred him to become a public speaker in real estate. Brad also shares his thoughts on handling the haters and provides insights into the risks associated with investing in syndication.
