In one of his earlier multifamily deals, Demetrius ended up losing it to another investor despite having a contract to purchase the property. Later in an 88-unit deal, after putting in months of hard work, that deal did not close, but he ended up winning anyway as it lead to him assembling a stronger team. Minor setbacks did not stop him from enjoying the success he has achieved in multifamily syndications as he chose to find a way rather than find an excuse.
