In this episode of Uncontested Investing, we sit down with Bruce McNeilage, co-founder of Kinloch Partners, to break down what it really takes to scale a real estate portfolio across multiple markets and asset classes. With nearly two decades of experience building and operating thousands of units, Bruce shares hard-earned lessons from single-family rentals and build-to-rent communities to large multifamily developments and self-storage projects.
We explore how Bruce identifies high-growth real estate markets like Nashville, Atlanta, and Columbia, why job drivers and industry concentration matter more than hype, and how investors can successfully transition from single-family investing into multifamily ownership.
Whether you’re a newer investor looking to scale responsibly or an experienced operator refining your strategy, this episode delivers a practical, no-nonsense roadmap to building durable cash-flowing assets, reducing risk, and growing long-term wealth through real estate investing.
