Owning multifamily real estate isn’t just about numbers - it’s about time, energy, and strategy. In this video, I share how I evaluate whether to hold, sell, or reposition an underperforming multifamily property. From razor-thin cash flow, rising expenses, and tenant headaches… To the strain of managing too much real estate without the right team… To the opportunity of “leveling up” by consolidating or redeploying capital… I’ll walk through the financial and psychological factors I consider, not just as a broker, but as an investor myself. If you’re feeling overloaded, stretched thin, or unsure what to do with an underperforming property, this video is designed to help you pause, reflect, and make the right move for your long-term goals. 👉 Drop your questions or topics in the comments - we'd love to be a sounding partner as you navigate today’s market.

Ever felt like you're doing everything right, only to have life rip the rug right out from under you? Yeah...me too. Today, I'm sitting down with Justin Colby, a real estate powerhouse who’s seen the highs, survived the lows, and came back stronger than ever. He’s been investing in real estate for almost 20 years, closed over 3,000 deals, built a portfolio of 50+ rental properties, apartment complexes, and a storage facility, and even wrote a national bestselling book, Flipping to Wealth. Oh, and did I mention he’s the host of not one, but TWO Top 10 podcasts on Apple? But before all that, Justin was sleeping on a couch, watching the repo man tow away his six-figure car and the bank take back his half-million-dollar home. He lost everything. And instead of staying down, he rebuilt his life from the ground up not just in real estate, but in mindset, relationships, and fulfillment. We go deep in this one. We’re talking: 🔥 Losing it all & finding the drive to build an epic life 🔥 Why real estate is still the greatest wealth builder even in today’s market 🔥 How to shift from “chasing success” to actually feeling fulfilled 🔥 The mindset shift that separates the winners from the quitters 🔥 Why relationships, not transactions, will make you rich If you’re in the grind, if you’re doubting your next move, or if you just need a wake-up call to stop playing small, this episode is for you.

I sat down with Brad Sumrok, and let me tell you this conversation is one for the books. Brad isn’t just another real estate investor. He’s the guy who walked away from a six-figure engineering job, went all in on multifamily real estate, and built an empire buying over 60 apartment complexes, managing 11,000+ doors, and helping his students close over $2 billion in deals. But the journey wasn’t all smooth sailing. In this episode, Brad opens up about: 🔥 From 9-to-5 to Financial Freedom How he left corporate America, bought his first 32-unit property, and replaced his six-figure salary faster than he ever thought possible. 🔥 Why Bigger Is Actually Easier in Real Estate Brad breaks down why scaling to large multifamily deals isn’t as complicated as it sounds and why the real wealth comes when you stop playing small. 🔥 Surviving the Toughest Market in Decades The multifamily real estate market has been brutal lately. Brad shares the hard truths about rising interest rates, bad deals, and what separates investors who thrive from those who sink. 🔥 The Hidden Cost of Success We talk about something most people don’t—what happens after you achieve wealth. Brad opens up about the struggles that came with massive success, his battle with anxiety and impostor syndrome, and why fulfillment isn’t found in the next deal, the next car, or the next million. 🔥 Breaking Free from the ‘Achiever’s Curse’ For years, Brad was chasing financial wins—until he realized money alone wasn’t enough. Now, he’s on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and redefining what success actually looks like. 🔥 The Secret to Having It All (Without Losing Yourself in the Process) Brad shares his biggest lessons on balancing wealth, relationships, health, and happiness—so you don’t have to learn the hard way. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the rat race, wondered if you’re chasing the right things, or wanted to know how to build real wealth without sacrificing your sanity, this episode is a must-listen. 🎧 Press play now, and let’s dive in. 🚩SUBSCRIBE 🚩 to my Youtube Channel Here: / @hannahbhammond ============================================== 👉🏽 Follow Hannah Hammond: IG : / hannahbhammond TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hannahbhammon...
