What happens when a real estate investor decides traditional multifamily no longer offers the opportunities it once did?

In this episode of the Major League Real Estate Podcast, Nate and Tom sit down with Chris Salerno, founder and CEO of QC Capital Group, to discuss why he moved beyond multifamily into express car washes, oil changes, flex industrial real estate, healthcare, and other alternative investments.

Chris shares how he looks for investments tied to the “infrastructure of daily life” and why cash flow and tax benefits play such a big role in his strategy.
