Wish you could get a bigger real estate deal done faster?

Then you need the three freedom accelerators—the right system, the right support, and the right network.

Masha Kruskal and Ahuva Druin leveraged this formula to partner on a syndication in Live Oak Florida and fast-track their success as multifamily GPs.

Masha has 18 years of experience in residential and commercial real estate and international startups. Ahuva is a principal investor with expertise in value-add, buy-and-hold, and multifamily real estate.

They connected as students in the Michael Blank Mentoring Program and joined forces to take on their first big multifamily deal.

On this episode of Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing, Masha and Ahuva join me to discuss what inspired their interest in multifamily and why they chose our mentoring program.

Masha and Ahuva describe their roles as capital raiser and deal finder, explaining how their complementary skills and commitment to the process helped them close a deal in just 30 days!

Listen in for advice on overcoming limiting beliefs through mentorship and learn how Masha and Ahuva used a proven system and the Michael Blank network to accelerate their path to financial freedom.
