Building a Billion-Dollar Multifamily Portfolio With Zach Haptonstall

In this special live episode of the On The Rise Podcast, host Jeremy Dyer sits down with his close friend and Rise48 Equity CEO and co-founder Zach Haptonstall for a wide-ranging conversation on what it really takes to build one of the fastest-growing multifamily real estate companies in the country. Zach shares his journey from a lower-middle-class upbringing in Phoenix to overseeing more than 11,000 units across three markets and the years of grinding, near-bankruptcy, and hard lessons in between. He breaks down Rise48's vertically integrated model, how the company is navigating today's supply-heavy market, and why AI is about to fundamentally reshape how real estate companies operate. A must-listen for investors, operators, and entrepreneurs alike.
