JF2793: If You Want Something Done Right, Do It In-House ft. Kim Radaker Bays

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kim Radaker has been in real estate for 15 years, and during that time, she and her team have purchased 25 properties, taking 15 of them full cycle. Every time her organization can’t find a vendor to serve their needs, they build a solution internally. As a result, Exponential Property Group handles materials import, interior construction, renovation, and graphic design in-house. In this episode, Kim discusses her motivation for vertical integration, how she finds multifamily deals today, and how prioritizing everyone her business impacts has been the key to scaling.</span></p> <p><strong>Kim Radaker Bays | Real Estate Background</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Founder and principal of Exponential Property Group, a multifamily real estate investment firm that has bought and sold over 9,000 apartment units over the last 10 years.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Portfolio: GP of 3,219 units</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Based in: Southlake, TX</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Say hi to her at:</span></li> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><a href= "http://www.exppg.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">www.exppg.com</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-radaker-bays-b46696b/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> LinkedIn</span></a></li> </ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Best Ever Book:</span> <a href= "https://amzn.to/3MvJJPa"><em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by The Arbinger Institute</span></a></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Greatest lesson: It is so important to remember all the people that the real
