From Zero Cash to an 80-Unit: William Bertolasio’s Multifamily Breakthrough

Todd Robinson interviews Houston investor William Bertolasio about launching his real estate career through the Multifamily Dealmakers program and joining the GP on an 80-unit apartment acquisition without investing his own money, largely due to 90% seller financing. William shares his background running a roofing/storm restoration contracting business, his long-standing interest in real estate, initial skepticism about coaching, and how learning underwriting and using provided Excel tools helped him add value. After being encouraged to network, he pitched a 22-unit deal on a local Zoom call, met community member MD, and was brought into the 80-unit where he handled underwriting, communications, site visits, and ongoing re-underwriting as the deal evolved. They discuss networking, mindset, imposter syndrome, honesty and credibility, common beginner misunderstandings about capital, routines like living by a calendar, and William’s ambitions toward larger deals. How To Connect with Todd:https://www.instagram.com/officialtoddrobinsonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/toddnrobinsonhttps://www.tiktok.com/@syndicationexpert
