Navigating Today’s Market: Build-to-Rent, Development & Apex Investments with Daniel Angel
Podcast · December 11, 2025
In this episode of The Real Estate Investing Club, host Gabe Petersen sits down with Daniel Angel, Co-Founder of Apex Investments, to unpack his journey from Colombia’s corporate real estate world to building a diversified development and investment company in the United States.
Daniel shares how he transitioned from banking and institutional development in Colombia to flipping homes in Atlanta, eventually co-founding Apex Investments in 2017. He discusses Apex’s evolution from single-family flips to multifamily value-add projects and finally into ground-up development—including both build-to-rent and build-to-sell strategies.
Daniel breaks down how his team chooses product types, manages construction quality through standardized build packages, and navigates today’s tighter markets by keeping early-stage projects equity-heavy and less reliant on debt. He also highlights the advantages of new construction over fix-and-flip, the impact of post-COVID permitting delays, and Apex’s long-term focus on building a diversified portfolio while expanding into third-party construction services.
A great listen for anyone interested in development, build-to-rent strategies, and scaling a modern real estate platform.
