Testimonials
"Hey y'all - my name is Eknauth P. and I just wanted to do a quick shoutout for Brandon Wong and his team at Guardian Multifamily. I've known Brandon for many years, because we both served in the Marine Corps. I'm currently invested with him as a limited partner on a couple of large apartment complexes in Texas.
My wife and I had been researching and talking about commercial real estate investing for years, after buying our first commercial building in 2016. Brandon is very analytical, meticulous and thoughtful. Most importantly, he took the time to educate me on the underwriting and business plan. While it's been pretty hands off, the team has been great at getting back to me when I have questions or need advice.
They've also been great at executing on the business plan or pivoting when needed. The regular operational and financial updates really help with communications! If you are on the fence about working with them, I highly recommend you give them a chance and I think you will be very happy you did."
