Rod Khleif

Rod Khleif was born in the Netherlands and immigrated to the United States at age six into a family that struggled financially; his mother’s entrepreneurial example is frequently cited as formative to his outlook. He earned his real estate broker’s license and bought his first property by age 18, launching a career focused on acquiring and operating multifamily properties. Over ensuing decades Khleif scaled his investments and businesses, at one point owning or controlling thousands of doors and building a net worth that media profiles report reached into the multi‑millions by the mid‑2000s. During the 2008 global financial crisis Khleif lost a substantial portion of his portfolio — commonly reported in multiple interviews and on his site as approximately a $50 million loss — and has publicly discussed the fallout and lessons learned. Today Khleif focuses on multifamily investing education, hosting the Lifetime CashFlow Through Real Estate Investing podcast, running large multifamily masterminds and bootcamps, authoring content on mindset and entrepreneurship, and operating charitable initiatives such as the Tiny Hands Foundation and other feeding programs that have reportedly aided over 100,000 children.
