From Renovations to Ground-Up: Daniel Angel on Single & Multifamily Investing

Daniel Angel of Apex Investments shares how he shifted from flips to ground-up construction, multifamily acquisitions, and a fixed-return Infinity Fund.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack sits down with Daniel Angel, co-founder of Apex Investments, to discuss his journey from corporate finance to building a diversified real estate investment company in Atlanta.
