E359 - MM - One Risk Passive Investors Never Think About

In this Monday Minutes, I outline one of the MOST important risks that passive investors never think about when comparing active investments to passive investments.  From my perspective, this is one of the most compelling reasons to be a passive investor.  ❌ It’s not diversification…  ❌ It’s not the lack of time required to be a passive investor…  ❌ It’s not the ability to participate in all stages of the cycle….   Tune in to hear more!  Interested in investing in ATMs? Check out our webinar.   Please note that investing in private placement securities entails a high degree of risk, including illiquidity of the investment and loss of principal.

E358 - Unleashed: How Crowdfunding Changed CRE Forever

As surprising as it might seem…  The world of real estate crowdfunding wasn’t truly invented until 2012/2013.  Sure… “Pooled investments” (syndications) have been around in the US for quite some time, but the ability to combine the online space with the ability to raise capital wasn’t fully “unleashed” until the JOBS Act was ratified.   This Act certainly had a significant impact on the world of commercial real estate, but what are the implications of these changes, and how can we benefit from them?  What does this impact look like as this sector matures, and more and more people start participating in this incredible investment vehicle?  Will the recent popularization of 506(c), Reg A+ and Reg CF create a new stage in the story of crowdfunding real estate?  Today, we are joined by Adam Gower who is the author of Real Estate Crowdfunding: Unleashed. After conducting an incredible amount of research on the matter, Adam is here to provide some important updates that I am sure many listeners will be eager to learn, and incorporate into their thinking.  In this episode, we are going to discuss…  How are institutions reacting to the influx of accredited investors, and how is this reality shifting the investment space as a whole?  In which geographic locations are accredited investors most eager to invest, and does the data suggest that they should be investing there?  Are investors getting more accustomed to 506(c) offerings, or will 506(b)s continue to dominate the market?  From my perspective, those who are well-positioned in this space stand to create massive profits over the next few years, as the sector explodes with interest.  I intend on being one of those benefactors. Do you?  If so, tune in to hear what the data suggests about the future of crowdfunding.  Resources mentioned in this podcast: 1. His website 2. Subscribe to the Gower Crowd newsletter 3.

E356 - How Can You Tell If A Sponsor Is Misleading You

Like many of you, I’m extremely bullish on the world of private real estate deals.  As people continue to have success investing in the space, it will continue to grow and grow. If this continues, it might be highly favorable for us as early investors. (Yes, we are still VERY early!) If this happens as I think it might, it’ll likely mean more buyers and sellers in the space (more liquidity), lower exit cap rates, and generally, a more precise marketplace. Of course, it might get a little competitive as well!  However, one thing that can slow that growth is for passive investors to have poor investment experiences. Sure… Some deals simply have challenges. That’s the nature of investing in real property which is occupied by real tenants.  But some of the challenges in the space are related to the operators themselves.  So, how can we limit the likelihood of investing in deals with poor operators?  Today, we are joined by Byran Ellis, who is an experienced real estate operator and who has raised tens of millions of dollars of private equity from investors. Over his decades in the industry, he has developed systems and processes to conduct accurate and efficient due diligence for passive investors.  In this episode, we are going to discuss…  Several tips and tricks for how passive investors can “trust but verify” without breaking the bank A wild horror story that could have easily been avoided!  How real estate sponsors can create a principle-based business, so that you are never concerned that you are going to be “found out” by your investors  If you are a passive investor who’s looking to increase your level of sophistication, this is an excellent opportunity to learn from one of the best!  Take Control, Hunter Thompson Resources mentioned in this podcast: 1.
