Overview
This episode maps a practical path from a professional W-2 to operator and capital raiser. Savannah explains how she identified accessible capital, learned hard lessons from early single-family turns, and pivoted to multifamily for scale. She details how to educate investors (especially healthcare peers), structure compliant raises, and maintain discipline during due diligence—even walking away when a deal breaks.

Key Takeaways
-
Start with accessible capital (e.g., primary-home equity) to get into your first meaningful deal.
-
Single-family teaches fast but scales slowly; multifamily systems and cash flow create durability.
-
Relationship-first 506(b) syndications can attract peers from your industry; education is the flywheel.
-
Underwrite conservatively; be ready to terminate and pivot investor capital when the thesis breaks.
-
Clear roles (acquisitions/asset management vs. investor relations/marketing) accelerate execution.
-
Assisted living can compound operational advantage for healthcare operators and investors.
