What if genuine, prospect-to-resident conversations could directly improve leasing velocity and lower costs? That’s exactly what Josh Draughn and the Weidner Apartment Homes team set out to confirm when they partnered with Rentgrata. From day one, Josh recognized Rentgrata’s potential to engage prospective renters and reduce costs through authentic, peer-driven conversations and he wanted to prove this out. As a data-focused organization, the Weidner team designed a comprehensive multi-touch attribution and cost model to analyze Rentgrata's impact, ensuring every metric was backed by hard numbers. The result? He was right. By implementing Rentgrata across their 300+ properties and 72,000 units, Weidner saw a 7% reduction in cost-per-move-in—even after factoring in the costs of Rentgrata’s platform and rewards. In Josh's words, “Rentgrata is more of a revenue position than a cost center.” To dig deeper into this case study and learn how Weidner realized these efficiencies, check out the link in the comments below. A huge thank you to Josh and the entire Weidner team for your trust, partnership, and commitment to innovation!

My Hardest Day in Real Estate A year and a half before "the Big Day” my partner Sam and I dove headfirst into the world of real estate. We poured $50K into education, built a website, and crisscrossed the country attending seminars, convinced that we were on the brink of something big. We were all in—before work, after work, and on weekends, we hustled non-stop. I remember biking through Brooklyn’s old brownstones, making countless calls to homeowners, agents, and contractors. It was grueling. I remember riding my bike back home from a walking a property, listening to “Where the Crawdads Sing” on Audible and bawling my eyes out. I don’t know why I’m sharing that. I just really liked that book. After a year and a half of working, we had done one deal. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours for ONE deal. We made about $9,000 on that deal. (7 Staples St in Kingston, NY if you’re curious) I was stressed out, depressed, 12 pounds heavier and in the hole $41,000. It took about 3 weeks to sum up the courage, but I had to tell my partner “I Quit”. Sam had become like a brother to me. We talked every day for a year and a half about our business, our dreams and our families. And just like that, it was over. I didn’t talk to Sam for several months and our relationship hasn’t quite been the same since, which really hurts. But I’d do it again. Maybe without crying in public in Crown Heights. In that year and a half, I learned an insane amount about real estate. I met people I do business with today. And I learned a lot about myself. I learned I don’t want to manage properties myself. I learned the power of partnering with world class operators. I learned how to do incredibly detailed due diligence. I also began crystalizing my investment thesis, which would lay the groundwork for where my investments are today, and the significant growth I’ve seen in recent years. My partners and I acquired over $6M in real estate since that day and now we're building 250+ unit apartment complexes. That year and a half of struggle created the foundation I needed to help other tech employees passively invest in real estate. I was able to find something I love doing by trying a bunch of things I hated doing. So, if you’re in the thick of it, remember this: the path to success might not look like you imagined. Stay open, keep going, it’s worth it. If you like this kind of thing, give me a follow and a share! Feel free to DM me if you want to talk investment strategy or you’re curious about the deals my team is working on.

After countless hours analyzing multifamily, self-storage, and mobile home park deals, I faced repeated setbacks. No deals closed, no offers accepted—despite the numbers making sense. I watched others making offers and getting accepted well over my price. I wondered, "What am I missing?" Patience and discipline was a necessity. Despite the challenges, I stayed the course. Networking, underwriting deals, and even starting my own networking group, I kept pushing forward. Finally, after a year, the pieces came together. I found the right partners and the right deal. This was a reminder to me that good things require time and relentless effort. Have you faced similar challenges in your ventures? How did you overcome them?

💡 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗚𝗼 𝗕𝗶𝗴? 💡 Building a rental empire like the one in the image can be a steady path, but what if you could fast-track your journey? While single-family homes and smaller properties are a great way to get started, there’s a powerful alternative that can accelerate your success: multifamily properties. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳𝗳: 🏢 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿: With multifamily properties, you’re acquiring multiple units in one transaction. This not only increases your cash flow but also speeds up the process of building your portfolio. 💼 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Managing multiple single-family homes spread across different locations can be a hassle. Multifamily properties allow you to manage more units under one roof, making it more efficient. 💸 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲: Expenses like maintenance, property management, and utilities can be more cost-effective when spread across multiple units in a single property. 📈 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: With multifamily properties, you have more control over the property’s value. By increasing rents or improving the property, you can significantly boost its value—a strategy that’s harder to pull off with single-family homes. 𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝗼 𝗯𝗶𝗴?
