From Wall Street to Multifamily: How Ravi Built a Data-Driven Investment Business and Gives Back

From Wall Street to Multifamily: How Ravi Built a Data-Driven Investment Business and Gives Back

Author: Mark & Tamiel Kenney June 10, 2022 Duration: 28:15

He built his career, hit the milestones, and earned the salary. But somewhere along the way, he realized he was showing up physically while his mind was somewhere else — and time kept moving.

Ravi walked away from a global commodities role at Citi in 2019 to build something on his own terms. In this episode, he shares how he applied the same data-driven discipline that Wall Street demands to multifamily investing — and how that portfolio has given him the freedom to be present with his family, lead his first deal, and fund tuition for 35 children at an orphanage in Bangalore, India.

In this episode you'll learn:

•       Why Ravi skipped single family entirely and went straight to commercial multifamily — and the commodities-world thinking behind it

•       How he started as an LP, added value as a co-GP, and landed his first led deal in Macon, Georgia

•       The institutional LP communication standard he brought from Wall Street — and why most sponsors fall short

•       How he built his brand inside a group by creating a free Excel analysis tool and running a voluntary webinar

•       The five-year mental framework that kept him focused during the inevitable early doubts

•       How his free T12/rent roll tool at syncap.com became an unexpected vehicle for philanthropy
