E28: Thrive on Adversity: Difficulty Breeds Drive - Neal Bawa

E28: Thrive on Adversity: Difficulty Breeds Drive - Neal Bawa

If you’ve ever thought coming from a well-off family sets you up for more success, you couldn’t be further from the truth. Neal Bawa shares with us his journey from a child in a poor family, raised by his twice-widowed mom, to a very successful multi-family syndication career. He attributes much of his success to the drive he gained through adversity, and his ability to maintain a positive mindset

Neal Bawa is strategic and analytical investor who brings decades of experience operating in Tech to the Multifamily Game. After a successful company exit in 2015, he quickly applied his skills to source, negotiate and acquire commercial properties across the U.S., for 300+ investors. With a current portfolio over 1800 units/beds he is projected to be at 3000 in 12 months -and his business just keeps growing. Neal is driven to build a better life every day, and strives to keep a forward-moving mindset in the pursuit of happiness.

BIG TAKE-AWAYS:

  1. Adversity breeds drive. Thrive on those challenges!
  2. Happiness is the reason for everything, not money
  3. Set ambitious goals, but be conservative in your moves to get there
  4. There is no such thing as a single “Real Estate Cycle”
