In this episode, Ginny sits down with Ismael "Rey" Reyes, a seasoned real estate investor and retired lieutenant colonel, to discuss his journey from military service to multifamily investing. Rey shares how his 28-year military career shaped his disciplined approach to real estate, his passion for helping others build wealth, and why he focuses on recession-resistant assets like multifamily housing.
Discover how Rey transitioned from single-family rentals to passive and active multifamily investments, leveraging syndications and funds to scale his portfolio. Rey explains the importance of finding the right operators, buying at the right price, and overcoming limiting beliefs to achieve financial freedom. Plus, hear about his current Class A multifamily deal in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and why it's a unique opportunity for investors.
Rey has been actively investing in residential real estate since 2005 and focused exclusively on multifamily since 2016. He’s founded and operated several real estate investment firms, leading to the acquisition of 16 multifamily properties.
Rey also provides independent consulting to multifamily investors, is the host of the Greater Central Florida Multifamily Investors virtual meeting, and is the bestselling author of BLUF: The Bottom Line Up Front about Passively Investing in Multifamily Properties.
Rey retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the U.S. Army, with over 28 years of service. He received an MBA from Columbia Southern University in 2010, is fluent in Spanish, and speaks some Portuguese.
