When we talk about multifamily investing, more often than not we're talking about value-add investing. Today's guest not only does value-add, but she's also crushing it in new construction. Anna Myers of Grocapitus joins us to discuss how they select their markets, and ways in which the new construction business plan differs from the value-add.

Anna holds a B.A. degree with highest honors from UC Berkeley, and an MBA degree from San Francisco State with an associated MS in Information Systems.
