He will be part of a panel session titled "Maximizing Returns: Investing in Commercial and Single-Family Real Estate."

Who is Matthew Candler?
Matthew Candler is an expert in the world of real estate investment.
He has been in the industry for over seven years and has built a reputation for himself through hard work, dedication, and continuous learning. What makes Matthew's story inspiring is how he started his journey. Like many others, he began by managing a single-family rental property. He took on this challenge after immersing himself in educational podcasts, gaining knowledge about the industry.
Matthew didn’t stop there.
He knew that to succeed in real estate, he needed to keep learning and growing.
This led him to extensive networking, where he discovered multifamily passive investing. Multifamily passive investing involves investing in properties that have multiple units, like apartment buildings. Instead of managing these properties himself, Matthew became an passive investor in several projects. This approach allowed him to spread his investments across different properties, reducing his risk while still earning returns.
The Transition from Engineering to Real Estate
Before diving into real estate full-time, Matthew had a background in engineering. Engineering is a field that requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and problem-solving abilities. Matthew realized that these skills could be very useful in real estate, especially in the area of underwriting.
Underwriting in real estate involves evaluating a property to determine its value, potential income, and risks. It's a critical step in the investment process because it helps investors make informed decisions. By applying his engineering skills, Matthew excelled in underwriting, which opened more doors for him in the real estate world.
In 2020, after gaining substantial experience and refining his skills, Matthew made the bold decision to transition to real estate full-time. He took every analyst course available to improve his expertise further, proving his commitment to mastering the field. This dedication paid off, as Matthew moved into acquisitions and eventually took on the role of an asset manager for a well-known national real estate investing company.
The Importance of Continuous Learning and Networking
One of the key lessons from Matthew's journey is the importance of continuous learning and networking. The real estate industry is constantly changing, with new trends, technologies, and market conditions. To stay ahead, it's crucial to keep learning and adapting.
Matthew's story shows that learning doesn’t always have to come from formal education. He started by listening to podcasts, a free and accessible resource, which gave him the foundational knowledge he needed. From there, he sought out more opportunities to learn, such as taking courses and connecting with other professionals in the industry.

Networking also played a significant role in Matthew's success.
Through networking, he discovered multifamily passive investing, a strategy that allowed him to diversify his portfolio and minimize risk. Networking can open doors to new opportunities, provide support from like-minded individuals, and offer insights that you might not find elsewhere.
