After over ten years, he switched his focus from single-family to multifamily space. J got into multifamily because he wanted to deploy his capital and maintain control.

According to Sterling, single-family is an excellent start because it has a lower barrier of entry. But if you are looking for a more scalable model, consider putting your dollars in multifamily investments.

Born for Business: How a High School Drop Out Created An App That Is Changing the Real Estate Industry. This week on The Executive Real Estate Investing Show, host Michael Holman talks with Tj Lokboj. Tj is the managing partner at Holdfolio, a premier real estate crowdfunding platform serving thousands of investors, with a portfolio of assets valued at $552M and holding multiple assets classes across 9 markets. He's also the cofounder of SyndicationPro--the country's fastest-growing investment management software solution, helping over 600 investment firms to raise capital more efficiently and better manage investor relations. It all started when the real estate investor became frustrated with the software that was available. So in 2014, he and his business partner took a gamble and created their own app. It was the right decision, and now Lokboj is a rare hybrid of tech startup guru and real estate investor. Listen now to hear Tj's amazing story. He's gone from an immigrant who didn't speak a word of English, to high school dropout working two jobs, to finally a software wiz.

With a wide range of experience in entrepreneurship, real estate investing, and technology, our today's guest TJ Lokboj the co-founder of SyndicationPro and the managing partner at Holdfolio discusses the way he leveraged the power of tech in his investments right from his very first deal. Through SyndicationPro, TJ serves real estate sponsors and fund managers to automate fundraising, investor relations, and provide institutional-level reporting. TJ is also a managing partner at Holdfolio, a real estate investment firm with a rich portfolio value exceeding over $755M in total asset value including over 4,000 units.

On this episode of the Deal Farm, we talk with Sterling White - cofounder of Holdfolio, a new crowdfunding platform based in Indianapolis, In.  Sterling and his partner Jacob have created a very intriguing platform for accredited and non-accredited investors to invest in portfolios of cash-flowing rental properties. Sterling also shares with us how they were recently able to buy a duplex for 18K that gets $1300/mo in rent!    Feel free to check them out at Holdfolio.com

My Cash Flow Diary podcast guests Jacob Black and Sterling White move fast. They’ve created something that’s mighty impressive called Holdfolio. This innovative company enables investors to purchase ownership in a portfolio of income properties that the co-founders own. Holdfolio is the result of Jacob and Sterling deciding to create a partnership in a business that serves not just accredited investors but also those who don’t meet those requirements. Since both men love buying rental properties and have a passion for real estate investing, the partnership was a natural.Jacob started really early in real estate investing. He was a freshman in college. One night he saw a late-night infomercial about real estate investing that grabbed his interest. So he put himself on the path to learning.Sterling started even younger… as a kid in school selling candy! He found that he loved sales. Later in life he discovered real estate investing and ventured into the single-family home space in Indianapolis. It was through a seminar Jacob was attending with his mentor that Sterling and Jacob first met.After Sterling introduced himself to Jacob at the event, he started showing up at Jacob’s office… frequently. His persistence paid off; Jacob took notice. It didn’t take long before the two were doing deals as a team.Because I hear all sorts of excuses from people about why they haven’t gotten into real estate investing YET, I made sure to ask Jacob and Sterling how they feel about excuses. For example, I hear all the time, “I’m too old, too young, too busy, have kids, have chaos, too fat, too thin, too whatever” to do real estate investing. It’s crazy. And these are simply excuses. If you REALLY want to get into real estate investing (or anything else) you have to take action and learn how to do this new thing. Or just stop talking about it.Sterling and Jacob completely agree. Neither of these men let their age or any other “obstacle” stop them from creating something really cool in the industry. To get there in their minds and allow the success they now enjoy, they say they took and continue to take from the pages of success and wealth-creation books, especially the classics! Knowing what it takes to earn long-term wealth, Jacob and Sterling worked with mentors, which shortened their learning curve from a decade down to two years. When they started working together they were able to become superstar investors.Learn more about how Holdfolio works. It might be a way for you to jump into the real estate investing pool without the upfront learning curve, especially if you like the idea of investing in properties with good appreciation and good cashflow in Indianapolis and the midwest.
