How he found his first commercial multifamily deal

KEY QUOTES:
"Get after it! Be careful but take action!"

ABOUT OUR GUEST:
My name is Joshua Ferrari. I grew up not knowing anything about finances or investing. I always thought I was just going to work until I was 65, retire on a farm out in the country, and travel with my wife to see the world. I had no background in financial education and I seriously hated school. Yet, somehow the idea of investments caught my attention when I read that famous book titled “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki.
I have grown to have a passion like no other for multifamily real estate. My journey started 2 and a half years ago when I bought my first multifamily property which was a fourplex. My experience throughout that journey has given me the needed expertise in managing contractors, subcontractors, and materials for multi-unit rehabilitations.
I have been a licensed Aircraft Technician for the last 3 years. The job of an Aircraft Technician is fun, and it requires meticulous attention to detail for the safety of the flight crew. I have never had any aircraft required to be reworked due to unsatisfactory work. My attention to detail allows me to be the expert needed to run these types of assets.
I’m happily married to my wife, Alicia for three years. We have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Pecan who loves traveling, eating, & chewing fingers. I’m an active member in my local church where I serve as the drummer on the worship team, and I teach investing and finances to local entrepreneurs wanting to get started in the space.
