Lone Wolf Operations, 10x Thinking and Zombie Deals ft. Andrew Cushman
Season 1 Episode 4110
Matt Faircloth interviews Andrew Cushman, founder and principal of Vantage Point Acquisitions, in a fireside-chat style episode that ranges from partnerships to banks to skiing 20,000-foot peaks. They break down why Andrew has avoided the typical “GP partner” model, how he instead built a tightly aligned internal team, and why operational control matters more than flashy capital-raising. The conversation digs into the dangers of ego-driven 10x scaling, the realities behind today’s “extend and pretend” lending environment, and where distress is actually showing up in multifamily. Andrew also shares why, if multifamily disappeared tomorrow, he’d be quietly rolling up laundromats—and what his extreme backcountry ski trips teach him about risk, preparation, and long-term thinking in real estate.
