Sudhir Jarajapu took the first steps on his multifamily investing journey and invested in our mentoring program. But then he got off track. In fact, it took Sudhir nine months to work through the first 90 days of the program! So, what got in the way? And what did Sudhir do to get back in the game? Welcome to the first of our Business Boost with Michael Blank series on Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing, where I do a live coaching session with a new syndicator! On this episode of the podcast, Sudhir explains what inspired his interest in multifamily investing and why he chose to pursue mentoring with the Michael Blank organization. Sudhir describes how he struggled to make time for the mentoring program at first and shares how both his mentor and his family eventually held him accountable to take action. Listen in as I ask Sudhir what he needs support with right now, and we design an action plan to help him achieve financial freedom with real estate!
