Investing In The U.S.

This week in the hot seat I am chatting with John Stoj. A man on a mission to provide solid financial advice at price that is more valuable than what it costs. John is likely the only Investment Advisor you've ever met who has managed both $3.5 billion and a sushi kitchen. John’s career in finance began on a Wall Street trading floor over twenty-five years ago. John believes sincerely that, done well and delivered fairly, good financial advice is more valuable than its cost, and worth buying. Unfortunately, through his experience, he knows that banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies, etc. do not have their customers’ best interests in mind – they have theirs in mind. On top of that, John brings to the table experience opening, running, and selling a small foodservice business. Nothing breaks you out from the shackles of Wall Street than small business ownership on Main Street. So what are you waiting for? Be Bold, Be Brave and Go Give Life a Crack!

This week on the show I am chatting with Steffany Boldrini. Steffany also has a "coming to America" story. Born and raised in a small ranch in Brazil called Monte Carlo Ranch. Her mother raised her and her two sisters with incredible strength and many sacrifices. At the age of 18 she moved to Silicon Valley with her family. With limited to no experience in the tech world Steffany hustled as hard as she could to break into the Tech industry and quickly excelled at a young age. In 2010, Steffany founded a marketplace focused on natural, organic, and non-toxic products. Since then, she has won multiple awards as a sales leader at successful startups (one of which went public and is worth nearly $10B, and another has been sold to Microsoft). Through her personal experience as an angel investor and through the experiences of her circle of friends in Silicon Valley, Steffany came to realize that she much preferred investing in real estate instead of startups. Steffany has now left the tech world and has started her own real estate investing company called Monte Carlo Real Estate. She is also the host of an up and coming new podcast "Commercial Real Estate Investing from A-Z". The show focuses on investing in retail, office, industrial, and self-storage properties.

This week on the show I have the pleasure of chatting with Bob Fraser, Founder and Principal of Aspen Funds. Bob is on a mission to help investors take advantage of one of the most effective and overlooked avenues of real estate investing: residential mortgage notes. Bob has personal experience with the unpredictable nature of public markets. In the 90's, he launched a tech company, raised $44 million in venture capital, and grew it to over 300 employees. Then the tech bubble burst and he transitioned to finance and investing, becoming CFO for several organizations and running a hedge fund. In 2012, he met business partner Jim Maffuccio, and the two found an alternative way to invest in real estate without the volatility of traditional options. By purchasing discounted residential real estate notes in the American heartland they discovered a high yield, liquid, asset-secured investment that produced consistently superior returns without all the risk. Better yet? They could work with homeowners to help them stay in their homes. Everyone wins. As you can see Bob is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to : - Understanding economic cycles - How market volatility is formed and affects real estate - Long term vs short term cycles - How to be ready for the next downturn? - and much, much more.
