How They Survived a Multifamily Fire & Built a Real Estate Empire | Christina Suter x Up Plex

June 19, 2025

In this episode of Real Estate Breakthrough, Christina Suter sits down with Mariciela Linger of Up Plex to unpack how she and her husband Christopher built a diverse real estate portfolio from the ground up—spanning multifamily, storage, mobile home parks, private lending, and more.

They reveal:

  • How they handled a devastating apartment fire and turned it into a learning opportunity
  • Why they stepped away from multifamily, and what made them come back 
  • The real cost of tight cap rates and how to pivot asset classes
  • Lessons in leadership, transparency with investors, and building scalable systems 
  • What financial freedom actually looks like when you’re choosing deals, not chasing them

This conversation isn’t just about real estate, it’s about mindset, team dynamics, and long-term vision. Whether you’re an active investor, capital raiser, or aspiring GP, this episode will expand how you think about investing and integrity-driven business.
