JF 4243: Cold Calling, Deal Flow and Scaling a Real Estate Portfolio ft. Remington Lyman

Author: Joe Fairless May 27, 2026 Duration: 36:22
Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Remington Lyman, broker, investor, and co-owner of a fast-growing Ohio real estate brokerage. Remington shares how getting laid off from a finance role at JP Morgan pushed him fully into real estate, starting with house hacking and scaling into a portfolio of roughly 100 residential units alongside commercial investments. The conversation explores the differences between residential and commercial investing, building a brokerage through cold calling and internships, and how strong deal flow has fueled both his personal acquisitions and client success. Remington also walks through two commercial case studies, including a mixed-use redevelopment and a daycare property that highlighted the scalability and operational simplicity of triple-net commercial real estate.
