Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Marcin Drozdz, Managing Partner of M1 Real Capital, located in Etobicoke, ON, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

M1 Real Capital offers new and experienced real estate investors educational content on how to raise capital and build their real estate portfolios.

Tell us about yourself

I started investing in real estate in 2006 and have since sourced nine figures in private capital that have helped acquire over 1,500 units across the US. On the tail end of the 2008 crash, my team and I raised an 8-figure fund and invested in commercial properties in Arizona.

Today, I’m the Managing Partner of M1 Real Capital, where my team and I focus on acquiring value-add multifamily properties throughout the southeast. When I’m not on the lookout for opportunities, I am teaching up-and-coming real estate investors how to raise capital and scale their real estate business.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Sourced 9 figures in private capital across several businesses and industries.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

The hardest but most rewarding is that the buck stops with you. Always.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. You are not the business, so it’s ok to check your ego and be wrong.
  2. Fail small, fail fast, and reiterate your approach.
  3. When things go right, praise the team; when things go wrong, look at what you could do differently.

Where can people find you and your business?
