Democratizing Access to Private Real Estate

Interview with Matt Blair, CEO of REI Capital Management

After a little hiatus, Compounders is back with an excellent interview with Matthew Blair, the co-founder and CEO of REI Capital Management. Private real estate is an asset class that has performed well over many years—but has largely been inaccessible to the average individual investor. In co-founding REI, Matt has the goal of democratizing access to private real estate investments. In this enlightening conversation, Matt and I discussed:

· How retail investors can typically access private real estate investments today;
· Why REI has gone through a lengthy SEC process to try to expand access to private real estate;
· The investment strategy REI is employing;
· Important investor considerations such as diversification and liquidity; and
· The types of properties Matt is looking to acquire—without overpaying of course.

Please enjoy the interview here:

We have a bunch of episodes in backlog that we are trying to get out as fast as possible. Please stay tuned!

Sincerely,

Ben Claremon
