Welcome to the Robinson Review E01

Todd Robinson introduces the first episode of the Robinson Review and explains the podcast focus: “Life, Law and the Pursuit of Wealth,” rather than a repetitive apartment-investing show. He outlines three pillars—lifestyle and adversity, his legal experience as a commercial real estate and securities lawyer (and managing partner of a one-stop-shop Atlanta law firm with a title company serving investors worldwide), and wealth-building strategies including how to grow and scale a real estate portfolio using other people’s money while complying with securities regulations. Todd shares his background: born in Richmond, Virginia; raised by parents with PhDs in psychology and social work; earned a bachelor’s in social work and worked five years as a social worker; was accepted to a psychology PhD program but instead lived in Europe, then pursued law school to increase income. He describes starting in trial law, moving to insurance defense medical malpractice, recognizing income limits, and building a book of business through LinkedIn networking—landing a bank client after meeting a banker at a loan closing and later using that credential to win more work. He explains how he transitioned into transactional real estate work, helped a multifamily client resolve lender issues, learned securities law and capital raising requirements, and then began investing himself—starting around 2020 with a 100-unit off-market deal in Carrollton, Georgia by connecting operator and capital partners to earn a small GP stake after earlier experience with condos and single-family homes.He discusses forming his multifamily education and mentorship community, Multifamily Deal Makers, after seeing widespread poor and legally risky advice online, and describes its ecosystem for helping members source deals, join GP teams, and build track records. He previews upcoming episodes featuring solo teachings, deal breakdowns, conversations with serious operators and billionaires, and broader life topics such as sobriety, discipline, marriage, faith, and stewardship, emphasizing a holistic definition of wealth beyond money.Connect with Todd:https://www.instagram.com/officialtoddrobinsonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/toddnrobinsonhttps://www.tiktok.com/@syndicationexpert
