Starting out on the entrepreneurial journey is never easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it, however, nothing is impossible. You just need determination, knowledge, and a desire to succeed. Sofia Castro went from dropping out of high school and being completely broke to owning over $400M worth of a cashflow-positive real estate. Being an entrepreneur since the age of 24, Sofia has always had a passion for new opportunities. In the mid-’90s, she and her husband opened a leasing brokerage firm and built it from the ground up. Over the next 18 years, they eventually sold their interest for a billion-dollar valuation.
In 2003, Sofia’s family office, Ortsac Capital Group, entered into the multifamily investing space where they amassed a portfolio worth over $700M. Today, Sofia runs Reign Finance Group, a commercial real estate brokerage that helps with the sourcing and placing of capital for business owners across the nation. She also does real estate development. Sofia and I talk about her real estate journey and how she got into multifamily.

We also talk about mentorship, how Sofia transitioned strategies in her business, and details on her upcoming projects.
