Ep #117: From Prison Guard to Professional Multifamily Syndicator and Expert Direct Marketer - with Darin Garman

Our guest for this week’s show is Multifamily Investor, full-time syndicator and expert direct marketer, Darin Garman.

 In today’s show, we’ll be speaking with Darin about how he went from being a prison guard in Iowa to becoming a successful multifamily investor and an absolute brilliant marketer.

I actually learned of Darin many years ago after reading about him in a few various Dan Kennedy marketing books. For those who aren’t familiar with Dan Kennedy, he’s one of the leading experts in the Direct Marketing space and is the one who personally taught Darin how to leverage his marketing to drive results in the multifamily investment space. If you’re looking for an edge and want to learn how to create a massively effective direct mail campaign, then you really need to listen to what Darin has to say. I will warn you, it’s an abnormally long show but it is all quality and absolutely no fluff.

In this show with Darin you’re going to learn:

• How Darin started out as a prison guard in Iowa prior to venturing into the real estate field.
• How he stumbled into the multifamily niche and built his business from scratch.
• The benefits of the CCIM courses and why he feels that these are by far the best educational courses in the industry.
• How he structured his very first partnership with investors and how be pitched it to entice investors.
• What specific demographics and economics Darin looks when determining markets to invest in.
• Why he prefers buildings with separately metered utilities and how he handles properties that are not separately metered.
• Darin shares his scientific method that he uses to create constant deal flow by contacting owners directly and how you can apply the same method in your business.
• How he uses newsletters to build himself as an industry expert, which in turn, also creates deal flow.
• And much more
