In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Secrets, Aviva Sonenreich sits down with Gino Barbaro, multifamily investor, entrepreneur, educator, and co-founder of Jake & Gino, to break down what it actually takes to scale from one rental property to a real multifamily portfolio. This conversation goes deeper than “buy more deals.” Gino explains the mindset shifts, systems, buy-right criteria, and operational discipline required to grow without blowing up. They also get into the emotional side of scaling, why multifamily is not passive, and what investors misunderstand about growth, leverage, and long-term wealth.
