    In this must-watch episode of the ATMA Podcast, host Bryan Acosta, CEO and co-founder of Advent Trinity Marketing Agency (ATMA), sits down with strategic business leader, entrepreneur, and capital advisor Clifton Norwine.

    Clifton Norwine is a Managing Partner at Inquest Advisory Capital Partners and oversees more than $200 million in multifamily assets. With over 30 years of experience across real estate, media, corporate enterprise, and municipal leadership, Clifton shares hard-earned lessons on perseverance, leadership, and long-term wealth building.

    In this conversation, Clifton opens up about leaving his executive role at American Airlines after 9/11, his transition into entrepreneurship, and the pivotal $300,000 real estate loss that reshaped his investment mindset.

    🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode

    Learning from Failure
    Clifton recounts the painful experience of losing $300,000 on a $4.5M property in South Beach, Miami, including misleading information, legal challenges, and why he ultimately chose growth over a decade-long lawsuit.

    Understanding Real Estate Syndication
    Learn how syndication works, how teams help high-net-worth investors deploy capital efficiently, and the difference between active and passive investing.

    Why Trust Matters More Than the Numbers
    While many deals look great on paper, Clifton explains why investors prioritize trust, transparency, and team integrity—and shares his deep due diligence process, including property inspections using advanced tools.

    Leadership and Consistency in Recession-Resistant Assets
    Multifamily real estate remains resilient because people always need housing. Clifton explains why consistency, discipline, and team alignment matter—especially during slower market cycles. Drawing from 35 years of coaching experience, he shares insights on leading diverse teams effectively.

    Scaling with a Long-Term Exit Strategy
    With a defined time horizon, Clifton discusses leveraging multiple teams and asset classes—including multifamily, triple-net retail, self-storage, and mobile home parks—to grow his balance sheet and prepare for a strategic exit.
