What this episode covers
Background: Dani Lynn Robison is the founder and CEO of Freedom Family Investments, a vertically integrated real estate investment platform that has deployed $1.9B+ across multifamily, senior housing, and self-storage. Over 25 years of investing and through every major market cycle — 2008, COVID, and the 2022 rate hike — she's maintained a 100% on-time investor payout record. Description: Alt Funds Network hosts Mike Schroeder and Skyler Steinke interview Dani Lynn Robison, founder and CEO of Freedom Family Investments, a vertically integrated real estate platform with a collective $1.9B deployed across multifamily, senior housing, and self-storage. Dani shares how she entered real estate in 2008 after careers in financial services, mortgage, and M&A, built a turnkey rental business with vertically integrated companies, then pivoted to apartments and fund management after buying a troubled 56-unit complex during COVID that she turned around in 18 months for a $2M gain. She explains her investor-first fund structure (8–14% pref equity, income and growth tracks), raising over $35M via word of mouth and podcasting, and why trust, operator vetting, and needs-based assets—especially senior housing—matter. She also discusses masterminds, burnout, defining freedom, and her book Calm Money Never Panics.
