#30. Drew Breneman—Financial Freedom with the Power of Multifamily Real Estate

Drew Breneman started to invest in rental properties at the age of 19 and now has over $200 million worth of properties under management. Drew is well on his way to creating passive income through real estate, and if you’re one of those who want to follow this path, he is a great person to get inspired by and learn from his journey to financial freedom through multifamily investments.

I started an internet business in high school and I saved all the money from it to acquire my first rental property at age 19, back in 2005. Today, I am the Founder of Breneman Capital, specializing in multifamily investments in Phoenix, Dallas, and Austin.

Over the years, I have invested in a variety of geographies and asset classes: Multifamily in Madison, WI (2005-2007) then industrial, office, and retail in Minneapolis St. Paul (2008-2012) Multifamily and mixed-use in Chicago (2013-2020) before focusing on only multifamily in Austin, Dallas, and Phoenix (2021-Today). I am proud to say I have acquired $200M+ of investment property as key/sole GP and have 25%+ average realized IRR on investments sold with 15 deals executed with full cash-out refinances of all our initial equity.

I am also the host of the Breneman Blueprint podcast.

I started out with a duplex and have worked my way up to $30M+ deals. All self made starting from scratch - my parents are public school teachers, so didn't start with any capital of theirs or connections.
