In this episode, we sit down with Andrew Cushman, a former chemical engineer turned real estate investor, to talk about long-term success, market timing, and building a strong foundation for growth. He shares how he transitioned from flipping houses to managing multi-family properties and why experience, structure, and the right team matter now more than ever.
Andrew breaks down today’s real estate market and how investor behavior is changing. He explains why raising capital is harder, what distressed assets mean for seasoned operators, and how to stay ahead by focusing on long-term value instead of short-term gains. We also dive into how he hires the right people, treats tenants with care, and builds a business that lasts decades, not just years.
We wrap with Andrew’s personal investment approach, how he finds balance between syndications and long-term holdings, and the value of mastermind groups in staying sharp. Whether you’re new to real estate or already in the game, this episode offers insight on how to stay focused, be patient, and grow with purpose!
