About Justin
Hi, I’m Justin.
I live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and graduated from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University with a degree in finance. I started my career as a multifamily underwriter at a bank, where I developed a strong foundation in real estate finance and investment analysis.
My own real estate journey began with buying a $44,000 rental property. For many reasons, I quickly realized that single-family rentals were more hassle than they were worth. This led me to go all in on multifamily real estate.
Today, I run Goodin Development, where we develop Class A apartment communities across Indiana. We specialize in ground-up development and public-private partnerships, working with local municipalities to bring quality housing to their communities. To date, we've completed $97M in projects.
Alongside development, I help busy professionals and families invest in real estate without the headaches of being a landlord. My goal is to make real estate investing more accessible to people who want to build long-term wealth but don't have the time or desire to manage properties themselves.
I'm a hands-on operator who believes in building good projects, creating value for investors, and working closely with the communities we invest in. When I'm not working on real estate, you'll probably find me on the golf course or spending time with my wife Sally and our dog Troy.

The Approach
Why ground-up development in Indiana
Indiana is underappreciated
Steady job growth, affordable land and construction costs, and a shortage of new Class A housing make Indiana one of the strongest markets in the country for new multifamily.
Building creates the value
Development lets us create value at the basis level, design the product renters actually want, and deliver a new asset built to perform for decades.
Underwriter's discipline
Only multifamily, only Indiana. Every deal is underwritten conservatively and reported transparently, the same standard I held deals to as a lender.
