In today’s episode, our special guest is Kunal Dewan, who shares his 20-year story of migrating to the US and establishing a successful company in the multifamily syndication sector. He describes his journey from his first $2,500 investment to the multiple 7-figure revenue company they have now.
Kunal came to the US after receiving a full scholarship to a Masters's program. After finishing his education, he worked as a structural engineer, even during the recession in 2008. When he was about to be married, he realized he needed more than just a W-2 to grow financially and create wealth for his family.
Kunal said his first business, before real estate, was preparing taxes, for which he hired people to help him. He then transitioned to investing in real estate and saved on taxes. He briefly touched on tax brackets, retirement accounts, 401(k), syndication, side businesses, entity formations, and more.
His and his wife's first real estate investment was buying a condo around the time that they purchased a foreclosed property for their first home. He talks about how they made it work, especially when they bought a property in Pasadena, a premium neighborhood.
Kunal experienced a shift in mindset when they had their first child. He realized that his time was more valuable now and he was paying for his investments with his precious time. This realization led him to switch to multifamily syndication, so he did not have to manage the properties directly and be able enjoy the passive income.
