#109 Brian Wagers: Market Appreciation in Multifamily Investing

July 19, 2021

“Market appreciation is the icing on the cake in real estate and by increasing the net operating income, you force that appreciation.” -Brian Wagers

 

Today I am interviewing Brian Wagers. He is the President and CEO of Wagers Capital, a private investment firm, which focuses on acquisitions, improvements, and operations in the multifamily real estate market. Wagers Capital was founded in 2017 and is located in Northwestern Arkansas. Wagers Capital currently holds over 450 units valued at 19 million dollars. He is a top Broker in Northwestern Arkansas, ranks top 10 in the region and has a youtube channel called Passive Income with Apartment Investing. 

Brian Wagers: Moved from Kentucky to Arkansas 6 years ago and began his journey into real estate. Always having an entrepreneurial spirit, Brian’s first venture was the stock market, which he soon realized wasn’t for him.  He dove into real estate and purchased his first single family home, also first learning that the velocity of growth was too slow for his liking. Because of that he began investing in the multifamily market. He has a BA in Economics from the University of Kentucky.
