A successful attorney and consultant to multifamily investors all over the country, Charles Dobens has personally acquired over $20,000,00 of apartments and been involved, on behalf of his clients, in over $3B in multifamily transactions (yes, that's Billions with a 'B').

His legal and consulting practice has one objective- helping new investors overcome any lack of confidence in moving towards their financial objective of owning and operating apartments.

As an investor himself, he has seen all sides of multifamily deals. In his self-deprecating, humor-filled, training style, he will walk you through the entire buying process in a way that no one else teaches. By the end of your time with him, you will totally understand what it takes to be a success in the multifamily business.
