Fund Manager Building Three Cities w/Alex Inabnet | TBN 010

In this episode of The Builder Nation Podcast, Brian sits down with Alex Inabnet, founder of Inabnet Companies and a developer running five vertically integrated divisions across San Diego, Austin, and Tampa.Alex shares how he went from nearly jumping off a downtown San Diego high-rise at 25 to building a multi-market development empire that includes construction, property management, and a private equity fund.He breaks down his contrarian approach to the current market downturn—doubling down on acquisitions while others pull back, raising capital in uncertain times through radical transparency, and why the first six months in a new market should be spent building face-to-face relationships at gyms, churches, and community events rather than behind a computer.Alex also opens up about choosing the right partners (and why all money isn't good money), structuring incentives across vertically integrated companies, and the critical importance of vulnerability when you're struggling instead of taking flight.What's covered:• Why downturns are the time to acquire and build• Raising capital in tough markets through transparency and investor updates• The six-month strategy for entering new real estate markets• Face-to-face relationship building vs. virtual networking• Vertical integration across development, GC, and property management• Choosing partners: experience vs. capital-only partners• Structuring LP vs. GP roles and managing investor expectations• Incentivizing construction teams with milestone-based bonuses• The moment Alex nearly ended his life and what it taught him about vulnerabilityThinking about building an ADU or need a team to manage your project properly?
