Meet Ivan Barratt, Founder and CEO of The BAM Companies, owner-operator of multi-family housing in the Midwest. Barratt started BAM with a duplex, and today, the company owns 5000 apartments with 600 million in assets under management and 150 employees. "I started the company as Barratt Asset Management, a property company managing small assets for investors who didn't want to deal with what we say are 'tenants and the toilets.' Today, BAM only manages apartments that we own and control," Barratt explains.
