Having just one job is pretty exhausting for most people, but Matthew Ma isn’t most people. As a business owner, eXp broker associate, podcaster, and investor who invests in more than 3,600 units (and counting), he seems to have endless energy when it comes to real estate. We’re delighted he found time to sit down with us for a chat!

​

"Hi, Matthew! Thanks for taking the time to speak with me today. Can you start off by telling me a little bit about yourself, and how you got into real estate?"

"Sure. I came from a tech background, I’m a tech guy first. I started in the tech industry when I was 18 years old and I did that for 15 years while simultaneously doing real estate (which I started at age 24)."

​

"I also bought my first home in San Francisco at 24 years old. I initially became an investor in San Francisco because I saw real estate as a way to grow generational wealth and build passive income. I was actively learning how to build equity, how to add value, and how to turn those investments into something. During that time, I was also helping other buyers and sellers invest in multi-unit apartments."

"I got my real estate license in 2007 and I started focusing on real estate sales. I even became a lender at one point because I wanted a better experience for my clients, especially investors, as I noticed a lot of lenders were just doing loans; the client was just a number."
