This week’s episode features Kevin Apolinario, who just one year ago didn’t own a single property. In late 2024, Kevin jumped into the game with a househack on St. Paul’s West Side, and earlier this year he leveraged that equity into deal #2, a triplex purchase. With a background in the culinary arts and a recent pivot through a coding bootcamp, Kevin came to St. Paul to work for Travelers before landing a new role with Amazon. He plans to keep building his portfolio for the long run.
We love Kevin because he’s coachable, trusting, and truly the perfect client. In this conversation, we unpack the emotions, fears, wins, and losses of a first-year investor — alongside a full Twin Cities multifamily market update.
