A native of San Antonio, Texas, Devin Elder was inspired to become an entrepreneur after observing his business-minded brother. Before fulfilling that dream, he started a corporate career in a handful of small tech companies in San Antonio as a salesperson. Those roles provided invaluable sales skills, which helped with his real estate investments. After some insightful reading, he realized the need to create passive income which led him to the world of real estate. He founded DJE Texas Management Group which now consists of a portfolio of 670 units. On this episode, he breaks down the San Antonio market and shares key metrics to consider in multifamily investments, transitioning from single-family to multifamily successfully, and leveraging networks.
