Buying Multifamily Real Estate in the Heartland with Ivan Barratt, Founder & CEO of The BAM Companies

In this episode of Real Talk, I speak with Ivan Barratt, Founder and CEO of The BAM Companies. A 20-year veteran of the real estate industry, Ivan is a multifamily owner, fund manager, and syndicator who specializes in large apartment communities in the Midwest. Since 2015, he has raised nearly $700 million in equity, acquired over 8,500 units, and acquired over $1 Billion in transaction volume.

We discuss:

Why he focuses on buying in the “Heartland” of the U.S.
How he went from buying duplexes to having 1,400 investors
Creating a culture where employees like their job

“Over the course of more than a decade working together, Jeff Sklar has proven to be the most trusted legal advisor I have had the privilege of working with. In that time, I have engaged numerous attorneys across a wide range of firms and practice areas, and no one has come close to the level of counsel Jeff consistently delivers. His breadth of knowledge across complex and varied legal matters is exceptional, but what truly sets him apart is the quality of his judgment. Jeff does not simply advise on the law. He thinks alongside you, helping you navigate toward the best possible outcome with clarity, precision, and a strategic depth that goes well beyond what most attorneys bring to the table.”

— Bryon L. Merade, CEO Caldera Medical, Inc.
