About this listen

Brian Briscoe never imagined he'd become a multifamily investor with $35 million in real estate holdings. After earning degrees in mathematics and serving 20 years in the military, his path took an unexpected turn when he realized the power of real estate investing.

During a military deployment with limited outside communication, Brian found himself alone with a computer and spreadsheets, calculating what it would take to achieve financial freedom. The sobering discovery? He'd need 60-80 single-family homes to replace his income – a pace that would leave him "really, really old" before reaching his goal. This revelation pushed him to explore multifamily syndication, a strategy he once thought was only for sophisticated investors.

The journey wasn't without obstacles. Brian describes the psychological challenge of shifting from $500,000 properties to multimillion-dollar complexes as "more difficult than it sounds." Even more daunting was the prospect of raising millions in capital when he couldn't immediately identify millionaires in his network. His solution? Strategic partnerships that divided fundraising requirements into manageable portions.

After successfully acquiring approximately 700 units through partnerships, Brian experienced both the rewards and challenges of co-ownership. When internal dynamics eventually led to a company split, a mentor asked him a perspective-shifting question: "Why do you need a partner? Why don't you just hire somebody?" This simple inquiry transformed his business model.

Since launching Streamline Capital Group in 2023, Brian has acquired 150 units in his hometown of Salt Lake City worth $35 million. The key to his success? Implementing the Entrepreneur Operating System (EOS) to create clear accountability through weekly scorecards, focusing relentlessly on controllable metrics like occupancy and collections, and overcoming the fear of failure that keeps most aspiring investors from taking action.

Whether you're just starting your real estate journey or looking to scale your existing portfolio, Brian's straightforward advice rings true: "Figure out what you want and then chase it. Nobody's ever going to hand it to you." Connect with Brian on LinkedIn or through his podcast, Diary of an Apartment Investor, to learn more about his approach to multifamily success.
