E340 - Our New Partner at Asym Capital & Where We Go From Here

I’ve been sitting on a secret for quite some time… We recently brought on Tyler Lyons as a partner at Asym Capital.  Tyler’s background as an Audit Manager at Deloitte and the Director of Accounting at Herman Miller provided him with the perfect balance to my background and skillset, and we couldn’t be happier that he is part of our team. He has made a huge impact in just a few short months, and we’re already starting to see it across all the major metrics of our business. If you are either growing your own real estate firm, or are an investor with Asym Capital, or both… I highly suggest listening to this episode to hear a bit about how we thought through this major investment in Asym, as well as both of our outlooks on the future of the company and deal flow... In this episode, you’ll hear… How Tyler and I originally got connected and how it played a huge role in him coming on as a partner Tyler’s view of the investment space and what asset classes he is most excited about over the next 3-5 years Where the opportunity in senior living might be, especially given the concerns in the market surrounding Covid-19 What Tyler is going to be focusing on and how it will allow us to do more quality deals, without giving up our attention to due diligence Now that we have successfully onboarded Tyler, it has freed up both of our time so we can do what we are best at... Finding compelling opportunities for our investors. In fact, we have a few opportunities we are working on now that I’m sure you’ll be interested in.

E338 - How He Made $4MM In Just Two Years!

Several months ago, I saw an Instagram post that really got my attention…  Bridger Pennington, our guest for today, had posted a photo with a caption that really resonated with me.  In the caption, he outlined how he launched and scaled his business basically through to a few months are hard work and obsession.  This is a reoccurring theme I have found when talking to a lot of successful people…  If you are dedicated, committed, obsessed, and willing to go out of balance for a few months, incredible things will likely come your way in short order.  However, on the other side of that coin…  The idea that you can remain in a constant state of work/life balance and also accomplish incredible things is a myth.  However, if you are willing to go out of balance for a short interval, you could create something that will put you in an incredible position later down the road, where you can both enjoy the fruits of your labor.  Now, don’t misunderstand my point…  I’m not saying work/life balance is a myth….  I’m saying being perpetually perfectly balanced is impossible, especially if you have some audacious goals.  I asked Bridger to come on the show and talk about his story, and he ended up revealing a few things he has never talked about before.  In today's episode we will discuss... How he got the idea for his company and the moment he realized he might be tapping into a piping hot market  How he experiences burnout and what he does to overcome it  The most lucrative vehicles, businesses, and skills in the world and how you can capitalize on all of them  If you’ve seen Bridger on Instagram you know he is both educational and entertaining, and this interview is no different!

E334 - Will There Be a Real Estate Crash In 2026?

When economists refer to the “market cycle,” they are usually discussing the typical 5-8-year periods in between recessions.  The confusing thing about this typical language is that real estate prices don’t decrease during most economic downturns.  As such, indicators surrounding “when the next recession might be,” are fairly useless when trying to determine if you should actually buy, hold, or sell real estate.  But, our guest for today isn’t like most economists…  In fact, in this episode, we’re going to discuss an entirely different perspective on market cycles…  Specifically, we’re diving into the potential existence of an 18-year super-cycle which might more accurately predict the next real estate crash – something every real estate entrepreneur would love to be able to do.  Our guest for today is Akhil Patel, who conducts economic research for Property Share Economics, a firm that provides economic research for its audience of investors.  In this episode, we are going to discuss… The 18.6-year cycle and how close we are towards the next downturn in real estate  Why every business is a real estate business, and what that means late in the super-cycle Why unemployment, debt, and even interest rates are not the most important leading indicators of the next downturn  This episode is ESPECIALLY important if you’re thinking about selling everything right now “because things are looking frothy.”  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.

E332 - If the COVID Regime Wins, Our Investment Strategies Are Meaningless

Believe me…   I really didn’t want to interview George Gammon on this topic.  Afterall George, who has 325,000 YouTube subscribers, is one of the best at breaking down economic concepts and communicating them effectively. In fact, he’s one of my favorite self-taught economists on earth.  I would much rather talk to him about inflation, deflation, and the arguments for investing in precious metals vs bitcoin.  But the reality is…  Financial wealth is completely meaningless if we don’t have the ability to express ourselves freely.  Unfortunately, we could be right on the brink of ushering in a new era of government tyranny and top-down mandates, the scale of which history has never seen before. Despite the horrific track record of governments and their various “trusted” agencies, the justification for these examples of overreach is always for the benefit of our own safety. But after what we have already seen, just in the last few years, is this claim even remotely believable?   In this episode, we discuss…  The Stanley Milgram experiment and why its lessons are relevant to what’s happening today How we as human beings tend to think we might have navigated critical moments in history, vs. how we behave when the moments are actually upon us  How to tell if you’re on the wrong side of history with one simple question Like I mentioned during the interview, I think George did an excellent job explaining why it’s critical to discuss these matters right now, even though it is uncomfortable, and may even cost us in the short term.  After all, the reason most of us get into the world of investment real estate is its ability to provide personal freedom.  Without that, what is it all for?  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.
