Property Profits Real Estate Podcast

What happens when you stay focused instead of chasing the next shiny object in real estate? Jay Balekar shares how he and his partners built a nearly 650-unit multifamily portfolio by sticking to one asset class and one geographic region. In this episode, Jay breaks down their strategy, how they’ve adapted without overreaching, and why multifamily still makes sense—even in a tough market.
We dive into their shift from deep value-adds to more turnkey deals, the importance of local operations, how they’ve avoided capital calls, and what 2026 looks like for their business.
This episode is full of practical insight for investors looking to grow with purpose, not hype.
