Listen "CP15: Multifaceted Multifamily: How Gino Barbaro went from pizza restaurants to over 1600 units"
Episode Synopsis
Join me and Vince with Gino Barbaro from Jake and Gino as we talk about creating multiple income streams. From his humble beginnings in a pizza restaurant, Gino is now handling over 1600 units in multifamily. He shares multiple ways to take control of a growing business (or businesses!) and have clarity on the things that matter. From a small Airbnb, you can go to duplexes, triplexes, and venture out to property management or even education! Creating these layers of revenue allows you to be free and provide value to others as well.
While that sounds easy on paper, the way to success is never easy. You have to know where to dedicate your time and focus on generating revenue. At the early stages of your business, you’d find yourself doing everything yourself, but be open for that moment that doing small tasks is no longer profitable for you. If you can do something for $15 to $20 an hour (like bookkeeping or fixing a toilet), you shouldn’t be doing that anymore! Find the people who can do that job to help you pay attention to the things that will generate more income. It’s your responsibility to get the things that you want in life, and now’s the time to do it!
About Jake and Gino:
What started out as a conversation between friends has exploded into a thriving real estate investment business that continues to grow in size and profitability.
Jake and Gino are both experts in multifamily real estate investing and have achieved, in just a few years, the sort of financial freedom they always wanted but weren’t sure was possible.
If a pizza guy and a drug rep can do it, we know you can too! Unlike many Investing Consultants and so-called Business Coaches, Jake and Gino have done the work with the assets to back their success strategies while consistently reaching their goals. They are passionate about sharing their journey with you.
