Lessons learned from scaling across multiple states
In TCREI Show #41, we’re joined by Todd Dexheimer, a real estate investor, syndicator, and educator who went from being a Minnesota schoolteacher to owning and operating over 1,000 units across multiple states.
Todd began with single-family flips and steadily scaled into large multifamily and commercial real estate, leveraging syndication and strategic partnerships. Throughout his journey, he’s stayed grounded in impact-focused investing, using real estate as a tool to help others achieve freedom — both financially and personally.
Whether you're just starting out or already scaling, Todd offers hard-earned insight on acquisitions, operations, mindset, and staying true to your goals.
