Think buying one rental house is safer than investing in apartment buildings? John Casmon is about to flip everything you know about real estate investing upside down.

John has helped families invest in over $100 million of multifamily real estate and is about to go "full cycle" on deals that could change his family's life forever. But here's what shocked us most: he argues that owning ONE rental house is actually MORE dangerous than owning 100 apartment units.

In this eye-opening conversation, John breaks down why corporate professionals are perfectly positioned for multifamily investing, how apartment buildings operate like the businesses they already know, and why the "one house" strategy keeps most people stuck in landlord hell.

The Corporate Professional's Secret Weapon:

  • Why your W-2 experience is actually perfect training for apartment investing
  • How managing a $100M advertising budget translates to multifamily success
  • The mindset shift from "side hustle" to "business operation"

The Single House Trap:

  • Why 100% income dependency on ONE tenant is financial suicide
  • The "3am furnace call" vs. professional property management
  • How one vacancy can wipe out an entire year of profits

The "Leveling Up" Strategy:

  • What "going full cycle" really means (and why it's the ultimate proof)
  • How John's 4-5 year bets are about to pay off massively
  • Why repositioning beats buying and holding

💡 Key Insights Revealed:

  1. The Risk Reversal: More units = less risk (not more)
  2. The Scale Economics: How 10+ units justify professional management
  3. The Corporate Advantage: Your business skills are your secret weapon
  4. The Passive Option: GP vs LP - operator vs investor paths
  5. The Full Cycle Proof: Why projections don't matter until you sell

🎯 Perfect For:

  • Corporate professionals feeling trapped in the W-2 game
  • Single-house investors wondering why it's so stressful
  • Anyone with capital who wants true passive income
  • Ambitious beginners ready to think bigger
  • Experienced investors looking to scale properly

📈 The Numbers That Matter:

  • Over $100M in multifamily investments facilitated
  • 7 years full-time in real estate
  • Multiple properties going full cycle
  • From small multifamily to major apartment deals
  • Corporate background managing $100M advertising budgets

🌟 Why This Episode Hits Different:

John doesn't just talk theory - he's actively exiting deals and proving his strategies work. While other investors are struggling in today's market, he's exceeding projections and going full cycle. His corporate background gives him a unique perspective that most "gurus" lack.

🎧 What You'll Walk Away With:

✅ A complete reframe of what "safe" real estate investing looks like
✅ Understanding of GP vs LP investment options
✅ Corporate skills that translate to real estate success
✅ Why multifamily beats single-family for busy professionals
