Vitali Babiy went from a comfortable IT career to building a rapidly growing multifamily portfolio—capping it with a neglected 76-unit off-market turnaround. In this episode we get into the real levers: underwriting iterations, stress-testing (rates, rents, MLI Select), building a buy box, creating deal flow, and why bigger deals can actually be easier to negotiate.
If you’re stuck flipping or stacking singles and wondering how to scale, this conversation is your blueprint.
