Rob Beardsley: Young Real Estate Investor on a Mission and Wants to See You Win

Growing up in Silicon Valley and watching his parents run a real estate brokerage firm from home, Rob Beardsley spent his formative years soaking up lessons from both the tech startup space as well as the real estate services industry. Despite his parents being in real estate, they urged Rob to study computer science in hopes of one day making it big in the startup or venture capital world.

However, while studying computer science at Carnegie Mellon, Rob saw the technical skills he was developing were leading him to a similar trap that his parents found themselves in. Even though his parents had built a successful business, Rob observed them constantly stressed out as they were trading their money for time, instead of building wealth through the accumulation of assets. Rob internalized this as his “shot across the bow” and embarked on a new journey to accumulate the most valuable asset aside from time, knowledge.

Rob’s studying of course led him down the path of seeking out income-producing real estate which could be leveraged as a vehicle to build lasting wealth which could eradicate the scarcity mindset Rob had grew up with.

Without ever realizing it, Rob had soaked up a remarkable amount of knowledge from his parents’ real estate business which they operated from home and Rob’s penchant for financials and algorithms quickly elevated his knowledge to an expert level. Rob leveraged his newly honed expertise to build a proprietary underwriting model to analyze potential investments, which propelled his business to acquiring over $100MM of multifamily properties. Additionally, He and his model have also helped hundreds of other investors underwrite and acquire properties for themselves and their investors.

Another one of Rob’s core values is his passion for teaching. As Rob began to notice the tremendous demand for his skills in evaluating risk and opportunity, he decided it would be his mission to codify his process and theories into an easily digestible book, which was recently released as, The Definitive Guide to Underwriting Multifamily Acquisitions.

Even when Rob lacked the experience he has today, he always remained transparent and sought to build trust with his partners and investors rather than attempt to put on an act, which is how he has quickly built credibility within the real estate community and proven himself to be a trusted advisor to even some of the top investors in the country.

Rob continues to rely on his hard work and people skills to both uncover his next big opportunities as well as to educate fellow investors through his authentic content on social media, including his podcast, The Capital Spotlight, where he discusses high-level investment concepts with experienced institutional investors, providing listeners actionable takeaways along the way.

Today, Rob and his business partner Kent Piotrkowski, who formed their New York City based investment company Lone Star Capital back in early 2018, have ambitions to grow their portfolio under management to $1 billion. It appears they are well on their way as they are off to a hot start in 2021 with over $50MM of acquisitions in the pipeline and have many new and repeat investors looking to partner on future opportunities.
