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 be...

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.

E354 - How Did We Get Here: The History of Taxation

In recent days, people in power have discussed proposals as ludicrous as taxing unrealized gains, banning the investments in private placements with tax-advantaged accounts, and implementing a federal 43.4% capital gains tax.  From my perspective, it always feels like these seemingly outlandish proposals are meant to get a pulse on how close the citizenry is to tolerating the new level of taxation and set the stage for what might be soon to come. Given the way this conversation is going ...
