Builder with 20 years experience in NY & CA looking to syndicate on multifamily deals

[Bjorn Brandt]

Hi BP community,

I’m seeking a local operator or partner to team up on 6–12 unit value-add multifamily properties.

What I bring to the table:

• 20+ years in construction and property renovation
• Former licensed General Contractor in New York City and California
• Have also built in Portugal, France, Italy, Spain, England, and Germany
• I have personally overseen, managed, and built full gut renovations, brownstone conversions, additions, and high-end residential projects
• I own a complete professional tool setup—effectively everything needed to renovate and rebuild a multifamily property from the studs out
• I can self-perform or direct subs in all major trades, including:
  • Carpentry (rough + finish)
  • Plumbing
  • Electrical
  • Tile + flooring
  • Drywall and finishing
  • Windows, doors, framing, insulation
  • Masonry + concrete repair
  • Exterior carpentry, decks, fencing, roofing repairs, waterproofing
• Comfortable handling full unit turns, kitchens, bathrooms, common areas, cap-ex items, and building-wide system upgrades
• Can act as GC + Project Manager, including:
  • Scope of work, budgeting, scheduling, inspections, permitting, hiring/firing subs, quality control, materials procurement, and pushing timelines hard

Bottom line: I can take a neglected 6–12 unit building and drive the renovation from Day 1 to stabilized, rented, and refinanced, efficiently and at a cost level most investors are unable to do!

What I’m looking for in a partner

• Local to Upstate NY or deeply connected in the surrounding area
• Also interested in any Midwest market
• Has or can create deal flow (brokers, wholesalers, PMs, lenders)
• Strong at acquisitions, underwriting, and closing
• Interested in doing multiple deals, not one-offs

Target deal profile

• 6–12 units, value-add, mom-and-pop, under-managed, dated interiors, deferred maintenance, below-market rents
• Landlord-friendly states and stable working-class tenant base
• Strategy: Acquire, Renovate fast, Increase rents, Stabilize, Refi, Repeat

Why I’m a good partner

I'm not a beginner and certainly don't need to be carried. I solve the biggest pain point in BRRRR/value-add multifamily: execution. I can improve units fast, protect your budget, increase NOI, and help us scale with momentum.

If you are strong in finding deals and operating locally, let's chat further...

Looking forward to connecting with the right person.

Cheers,

Bjorn
