251: Five Strategies to Find Off-Market Deals with Stewart Beal

Stewart Beal has been an entrepreneur since he was 13 years old. When he was 19, he already had a 6-figure exit from a landscaping business. At which point, Stewart founded Beal Properties, LLC and has since founded 20 other companies in the real estate and construction industry.

Stewart isn't just a serial entrepreneur–he's a very relatable guy who happens to manage 500 units of residential, multifamily, and commercial real estate. Across seven large syndications, he's raised over $135 million and is a 20% owner in over 6,000 units in the Greater Ann Arbor area of Michigan.

He's a founding member of Watermark Partners, which manages a set of real estate funds that have deployed more than $100 million in equity. And now, Beal Capital has just launched its second fund to raise $10 million and purchase $35 million in real estate.

In our conversation today, you'll get an in-depth breakdown of his fund structure, discover his strategies for acquiring deals, you'll learn why hiring real property managers is so important, and much more. You’re going to love this interview.
