Uncontested Investing Podcast - August 26, 2025

In this episode of Uncontested Investing, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools in real estate investing: networking with other investors. While contractors, asset managers, and lenders are crucial, the truth is that some of the most valuable partnerships you’ll ever form are with people doing the same thing you are—other investors. We discuss how to find like-minded partners, why authenticity is the foundation of trust, and how joint ventures and syndications can help you scale faster than going solo.

This conversation is packed with insights on building community, accessing off-market deals, leveraging partnerships for efficiency, and the patience required to make networking a long-term strategy for success.
