Episode #94: Marketing with Neal Bawa

May 8, 2020

Our guest today is Neal Bawa from Multifamily University and he is here to speak to us about his business and how he uses technology and data to stand out in the real estate market! Neal believes that doing your own marketing is preferable and this means going out and making sure you are seen! He explains his ideas of mega marketing and mega leasing and how they fit into his business model. These concepts are not necessarily for everyone but there might be a way that they can be incorporated into different size businesses, as Neal admits that his mega leasing strategy only makes money in a large scale model. Our guest also emphasizes his reliance on data and how following the numbers in the industry enables him to stay ahead of the game. We finish off our conversation thinking about the constant work that is required in multifamily real estate and how to address the never-ending line of bottlenecks that arise. For all this, join us on another great edition of our Asset Management Fridays, here at the Passive Income Through Multifamily Real Estate podcast!
