Welcome to another insightful exploration tailored for my Small Axe community. I’m Nico, and my mission is to help you craft a personal empire, step by step. In today’s discussion, we delve into the secrets of securing a deal in the fast-paced world of **multifamily real estate**. Whether you’re gunning for your **first acquisition** or your **hundredth**, this guide will illuminate your path.
Key Pillars for Securing a Deal
- Money
Money simplifies the process of closing deals. With enough capital, you could immediately purchase a property, bypassing the need for extensive knowledge—though I wouldn’t recommend that method. Having financial resources gives you an edge, but it’s not the only route.
- Expertise
Lacking millions in capital? Your know-how could be your ticket in. As a prospective team member in multifamily projects, what skills do you bring to the table? Are you a proficient asset manager, capital raiser, or underwriter?
Those with no direct real estate experience but with robust business or financial skills can still carve a niche for themselves. Prove your value over time to gain greater equity in future deals.
- Network
No money? Minimal expertise? A strong network can still open doors. Your connections might lead you to join others in pursuing profitable deals. Identify people, from partners to brokers, who can offer you opportunities. In essence, your network can effectively become your deal machine.

Understanding the Value of a Standout Team Member
Carving out a niche, understanding your strengths, and providing value are pivotal. Take my partner, Shane, for example. As a civil engineer with comprehensive project management experience, from afar and locally, Shane is invaluable. He is more than just an industry expert; he ensures projects run smoothly, obtain the right materials, and meet completion targets.
Think about fitting these indispensable roles on a team and how your skill set aligns. Success is often about aligning your strengths with the needs of the team.

Building Trust in Multifamily Real Estate
Fostering trust is essential, especially when incorporating new members into your team. If you aim to become a vital player but lack direct experience, demonstrate expertise and worth over time. Forming trust warrants consistent efforts over months, if not longer.

Craft Your Path to Success
In conclusion, whether capital, skills, or connections are your entry points, know that each can offer you significant leverage in multifamily partnerships. However, humility is key; understanding your limits and acknowledging your value will ensure that you join a partnership where growth is prioritized.
