About Igor Shaltanov

A former pro athlete, Igor transitioned from Southern Californian entrepreneurship to multifamily investing. He started by acquiring single units of real estate and self-managing these properties. However, managing all of the units on his own became increasingly burdensome and labor-intensive. 

Recognizing that this approach was not scalable, he pivoted towards larger apartment buildings with over 100 units. This shift opened up opportunities for retail investors, ultimately leading to the launch of the Avista Fund which he cofounded with Nikita.
