E355: From Deal-by-Deal to a $6.5B Platform: Building a Real Estate Investment Empire
Episode 355
Friday, 24 April, 2026
What if the best investments aren’t found in chaos—but in having the discipline to act when others can’t? In this episode, I sit down with Darren Fisk, Founder of Forum Investment Group, to discuss how he scaled from early syndication deals to a fully integrated multifamily investment platform managing billions. Darren breaks down how he leaned in during the 2008 financial crisis to acquire 9,000 units, why focusing on distressed capital structures rather than distressed assets created asymmetric opportunities, and how flexibility across the capital stack allows investors to generate returns in any market.
