Interview with Kevin Bailey, Executive Chairman & CEO of Po Valley EnergyRecording date: 27th October 2025Po Valley Energy, a $60 million Australian-listed natural gas producer operating in northern Italy's Po Valley basin, represents a compelling investment case built on immediate cash generation, visible production growth, and alignment with Europe's energy security priorities. With a single well currently producing and plans to drill multiple additional wells over the next two years, the company offers exposure to premium European gas pricing in a geopolitically strategic market.The company's sole producing asset, the Podere Maiar well in the Selva Malvezzi concession, has delivered consistent performance since commencing production in 2022, flowing 79,000-80,000 standard cubic meters per day and generating approximately $10,000 AUD in daily revenue. Operating at 60% free cash flow margins with minimal overhead costs of just $2 million AUD annually, Po Valley maintains a debt-free balance sheet with $15 million AUD cash on hand.Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 fundamentally transformed Po Valley's economics and strategic positioning. Gas prices, which historically traded at €0.20 per standard cubic meter, now rarely fall below €0.30 and frequently trade at €0.50 or higher. The Italian government, having reduced domestic production from 40% to just 8% while becoming dependent on Russian imports, is now actively encouraging producers to accelerate development and restore indigenous supply.Po Valley plans to drill 4-5 additional wells over the next two to three years, targeting known anticlines that ENI identified during exploration campaigns in the 1950s-1970s but did not fully develop. The company estimates this program will cost €35-40 million, of which its 63% operated interest represents approximately €22-25 million. With current cash reserves and ongoing production expected to fund 60%+ of requirements internally, Po Valley anticipates needing only modest debt financing or a small equity raising to complete the program. Once new wells are connected, production is expected to increase 3-4x to over 300,000 scm/day.Chairman and CEO Kevin Bailey, who owns 25% of the company through open market purchases, has emphasized Po Valley's focus on shareholder returns rather than empire building. Management intends to return capital via dividends or buybacks once the drilling campaign is complete, with no interest in acquisitions or expansion beyond core assets.Beyond its producing concession, Po Valley owns the offshore Teodorico asset containing approximately 37 billion cubic feet of 2P gas reserves, valued at $40-50 million AUD in 2022 - nearly equal to the company's current market capitalization. While not planning independent development, management will derisk this asset for potential sale to larger European operators.View Po Valley Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/po-valley-energy-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Most mining companies depend on luck and high metal prices. Andean Precious Metals rewrote the playbook, turning a near-dead Bolivian silver mine into a thriving, cash-flow machine. In this in-depth interview, CEO Alberto Morales joins Trey Reik at the Wealthion–SCP Global Silver Conference to explain how Andean's innovative model, buying and processing third-party ore instead of relying on its own depleting reserves, keeps the company profitable in any market. With over $87 million in liquidity, zero debt, and operations in both Bolivia and California, Andean stands out as a mining firm that combines stability, growth, and strong free cash flow. You'll learn how the company: Re-engineered a traditional mine into an industrial processing hub Built steady profitability through a unique strategy Reduced political risk by expanding into North America Revitalized the historic California Golden Queen mine with new exploration ahead Strengthened its balance sheet through disciplined cash-flow management

Dan O'Flaherty, CEO of Versamet Royalties (TSX.V: VMET), joins me to provide an update on the recent acquisition of both a silver stream and net smelter royalty on cash-flowing producing assets from Appian Capital. We also take a deeper dive into the value proposition embedded in their portfolio of streams and royalties, and the triple-pronged approach to growth for this newer royalty company, that just listed publicly back in May of this year. Dan previously led Maverix Metals, which sold to Triple Flag in 2023, and now he's building Versamet to fill the gap between junior royalty players and the multi‑billion‑dollar majors. Key Highlights from Our Discussion: Closed an agreement on September 24th for the acquisition of two long-life, high-quality, producing assets from Appian Capital Advisory; with immediate cash flow for an up-front cash consideration of $125 million. Rosh Pinah Zinc - a 90% silver stream an operating underground mine in Namibia with over 55 years of mining history and a long history of resource additions and significant exploration potential Santa Rita - a 2.75% net smelter return royalty (NSR) on a top tier nickel sulphide mine located in Bahia state, Brazil, currently producing from an open pit. The Stream and NSR Royalty are expected to contribute approximately 5,000 gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs") in 2026 using analyst consensus metal prices. Cash‑flow focus: From ~10,000 GEOs in 2025 to ~20,000 GEOs by 2026, translating to over $70M in annual revenue targeted for next year, using consensus gold prices, and even higher than that at current spot prices. Balance sheet strength: Paid off initial debt out of robust revenues, before adding this recent debt on the back of these 2 acquisitions; with a roadmap to paying that back down in an accelerated fashion from quarterly cashflows. Rapid portfolio growth: Over US$400M in acquisitions since 2022, growing Versamet's market cap to over CAD$800 million. We review how several key strategic stakeholders got into partnership with Versamet including: B2Gold (33%), Sandstorm (25%), and Equinox Gold (13%) as cornerstone shareholders, providing technical strength and deal flow. Investors today can get an early mover advantage before more institutional investors and passive fund investments have entered the story. Triple-pronged approach to growth: (1) Near‑term organic growth from within their existing portfolio of royalties and streams, (2) future accretive acquisitions, and (3) the coming U.S. listing for more liquidity, a broader investor base, and the potential inclusion in funds and ETFs. If you have any questions for Dan regarding Versamet Royalties, then please email those in to me at Shad@kereport.com. Click here to follow the latest news from Versamet Royalties

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Bree Hartman, a former gym owner turned commercial real estate investor and the founder of Self Storage School. Bree shares how she shifted from running gyms to building a portfolio of self-storage facilities, and how this asset class can create time freedom, financial independence, and long-term cash flow. She explains why self-storage is recession-resilient, how to find deals through simple tools like Google Maps, and why automation is transforming the way these facilities operate. Bree also breaks down how seller financing can make acquisitions more accessible, especially with mom-and-pop owners who represent a large share of the industry. From her first $3.1 million deal bought while pregnant to the systems she now teaches her students, Bree shows why self-storage can be an attractive path for investors seeking fewer headaches than traditional residential rentals.

In this episode, you will hear: Bree Hartman's journey from gym ownership to commercial real estate Lessons she took from residential rentals before shifting to self-storage Advantages of investing in recession-resistant storage facilities How underperforming mom-and-pop operators create opportunities Using Google Maps to uncover overlooked markets and deals Seller financing strategies that benefit both buyers and sellers The role of automation in boosting efficiency and NOI How Self Storage School equips investors to close their first facility Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Everyone says never sell real estate. But what if letting go of one property could unlock the next level of your life? In this episode, we break down why we're selling a cash-flowing rental despite the classic “buy and hold forever” advice. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the numbers, the emotional side of the decision, and how life events like buying a dream home or paying for a wedding can actually be fuel for smart real estate exits. We cover how much equity we built, the return on equity calculation that helped make the call, and the real reason we're choosing velocity over long-term appreciation. This isn't about quitting the game, it's about playing it better. You'll also learn how to navigate 50/50 partnerships, evaluate opportunity cost, and reframe your portfolio to support the life you want. If you're stuck deciding whether to refi, 1031 exchange, or sell a rental… this episode might give you the clarity you've been looking for. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

What happens when a newly married restaurant worker from Peru is told he can't qualify for a traditional home loan? For Andre Martinez, that roadblock sparked a Google search that changed his life. Within days, he discovered Pace Morby's creative financing strategies, joined the SubTo community, and landed his first deal in just two weeks. But Andre's path wasn't easy—nine months without a paycheck, getting fired multiple times, nearly quitting real estate, and surviving a nightmare first renovation where everything that could go wrong… did. Through grit, relentless action, and learning from every setback, Andre built a thriving co-living portfolio that now cashflows thousands each month and freed him from his W-2.
Ann Pells shows aspiring entrepreneurs how to acquire already profitable, professionally managed small businesses that can net $10K/month—while requiring only about an hour a week to oversee. Drawing on her own journey from financial crisis to portfolio business owner, Ann explains how to find, fund, and operate recession-resistant companies without becoming a full-time operator yourself. On this episode we cover: From pink slip to passive ownershipYears ago, Ann's family was blindsided when her husband was laid off—their only income source at the time. With three young kids, she vowed never to rely on one job again. After trying time-intensive real estate investing, she realized she needed teams and systems to create income without 60–80 hour work weeks. The turning pointFive years ago, she discovered a funding and management team (via a 5‑minute YouTube video) that helped her pay off her house in five years and access $200K for business acquisitions. That same team now helps her—and her clients—find, vet, fund, and manage those businesses. First acquisition Type: Water delivery service (home essentials niche) Structure: Partnered with ~10 existing investors, stepped into a deal mid-process with management team in place. Why that industry: Recession-resistant necessity (like plumbing, HVAC, medical, funeral homes, etc.). Deal sourcing Common public marketplaces: BizBuySell, Website Closers, etc. Ann's management team does the research, shortlists candidates that match her criteria, and later operates the business post-close. Location can be local or remote if a strong manager is in place. Buyer criteria Target: ~25% profit margin Industries with steady demand regardless of economy. Prefer businesses already running well—opportunities to add tech or optimization for increased value at resale. Always buy with an exit strategy in mind (3–5 year horizon), even if planning to hold long term. Financing approaches Revenue-based financing: Loans underwritten on the target business's financials, not the buyer's personal credit. Seller financing where possible. Partnering to share risk and split profits. Her current portfolio 4 operating businesses Purchasing 2 more now Leverages same management/funding network for all deals Practical Advice for Aspiring Acquirers: Think recession resistance: Focus on “needs” industries like home services, healthcare, essentials. Use other people's expertise: Partner with existing managers and acquisition pros—don't try to play every role. Let the numbers guide you: Profit margin, stable cash flow, and solid P&L history matter more than “charm” or trendiness. Ask “How can I?” not “Can I?” — Shifts your brain into solution-finding mode. Top 3 Takeaways: Buying beats building: Acquire something already working with cash flow and processes in place. Partnering & management = leverage: You don't need to personally operate the business to benefit from it. Funding is out there: Revenue-based and seller financing can drastically reduce or eliminate upfront out-of-pocket costs. Notable Quotes: “Instead of telling ourselves we can't, ask: How can I?” “We don't buy to give ourselves another job—we buy with management teams in place so it's hours a week, not hours a day.” “Recession-resistant means: people need it whether the economy booms or busts.” Connect with Ann Pells: Website: lifegiverlegacy.com

There are still real estate deals even in 2025. To prove it, we're taking three real (on-market!) deals and analyzing them three ways: as a long, medium, and short-term rental to see which will have the highest cash flow. All of these properties are around or under the median home price in the US and have at least one strategy that makes them profitable, even in 2025 with today's high interest rates. To help run the deal analysis, Ashley Kehr from the Real Estate Rookie podcast and Garrett Brown from BiggerStays join us to crunch the numbers. You're probably thinking, “Short-term rentals always make more than long-term rentals!” but that isn't exactly the case. With the added expense of short-term rental management, some deals may work MUCH better as a long or medium-term rental. We've even got some bonus strategies to share to boost your rental property profits, like renting-by-the-room to get even more revenue and subdividing your lot so you can sell it and pay off your rental faster (more cash flow!). These deals still work in 2025, and today, we're sharing exactly where we found them. In This Episode We Cover How to analyze a rental property as a short, medium, and long-term rental The one overlooked cost you should ALWAYS account for on a short-term rental A sneaky tactic to get extra cash if you're on a BIG lot Using the “coliving” (rent-by-the-room) strategy to get even more rent every month Why short-term rental regulations are a good thing for investors And So Much More!

Even though the Real Estate market has contracted significantly as a result of interest rate hikes and rising operating expenses, it's still difficult to find great deals, especially in large metros where there's still a lot of money on the sidelines looking for deals. By comparison, it's easier to find cash flowing opportunities in tertiary markets. Brian Ferguson, Founding and Managing Partner at Fergmar Capital Group, lives and invests mostly in his hometown of Victoria, Texas, approximately two hours from Houston, Austin, and Dallas. Brian can buy workforce multifamily buildings for $70,000-$80,000/door and equally enticing prices on small strip centers.
Interview with George Salamis, President & CEO of Integra Resources Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/integra-resources-tsxvitr-strong-q1-gold-production-61m-cash-position-7023Recording date: 8th May 2025Integra Resources is transforming from a development company into a U.S.-based gold producer following its acquisition of Nevada's Florida Canyon mine in late 2024. The company now balances a producing asset with two development-stage projects, including its flagship Delamar project in Idaho.At Florida Canyon, Integra has launched a strategic 10,000-meter drill program targeting mine life extension. The campaign focuses on previously underexplored areas including historical mine dumps, zones between existing pits, and lateral extensions. CEO George Salamis describes these targets as "low-hanging fruit" with potential to consolidate multiple smaller pits into larger operations.A key advantage in Integra's approach is self-funding exploration through operational cash flow from Florida Canyon, reducing dependency on capital markets and avoiding shareholder dilution. This financial independence allows the company to execute multi-phase exploration without needing additional equity raises.The current gold price environment creates opportunities to reprocess previously uneconomic low-grade material that was mined when gold traded at $1,000-$1,200 per ounce. Salamis believes the updated resource estimate expected by early 2026 could extend mine life from six to potentially eight or nine years.Beyond immediate operations, Integra controls a highly prospective 10-kilometer trend and plans to begin regional drilling in late 2025, synthesizing decades of historical data with expert input from former exploration managers.The company is benefiting from a favorable U.S. policy environment that increasingly views domestic gold production as strategically important. Salamis reports unprecedented regulatory support, with officials suggesting ways to accelerate permitting from "five to seven years" down to "a year or two."This dual approach of extending existing operations while exploring regional potential positions Integra to appeal to both production-focused investors seeking cash flow and margins, and exploration-oriented shareholders looking for discovery upside in a supportive regulatory environment.View Integra Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/integra-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
In this fast-paced episode of The Investor Impact: Power Talks, legendary investor Vinney Chopra breaks down exactly how he and his team are deploying $50 million into off-market hotel deals—with speed, precision, and strategy. Vinney shares the inside scoop on a recently targeted Dallas-area property, where a $14.5M hotel—with $2.5M in planned renovations—could be worth $28M in just three years. From flag changes that boost RevPAR to powerful market timing post-pandemic, Vinney lays out the exact formula he's using to find, underwrite, and acquire cash-flowing hospitality assets.
I used to scoff at Wall Street, believing the stock market was the last place to build real, life-changing wealth. I leaned exclusively on real estate, private businesses—even Bitcoin—to grow my net worth. But times change. I've softened my stance on equities and now see a place for stocks in my portfolio—just not the way most people do. I think of them as cash-flowing assets, much like real estate, following the approach of Andy Tanner, Robert Kiyosaki's “Rich Dad” stock advisor. Over the past two weeks, I decided to put Andy's strategy to the test by selling covered puts on companies I wouldn't mind owning. In that short span, I've already pocketed a 4% return. Sure, it could be beginner's luck—or it might be the rich option premiums on names like Tesla and MicroStrategy—but I'm off to a promising start. Can I realistically expect 80–100% annualized returns? Probably not, especially once I'm assigned and actually own some of these shares. But those who follow Andy's more conservative, textbook version of the strategy often cite annualized returns of 25%—and that's what I'm aiming to learn. So I'm enrolling in his next Cash Flow Academy course to master the details. The takeaway? Even an old dog like me can learn new tricks, so long as he keeps an open mind. Don't worry—I'm still a real estate guy at heart. But I appreciate having some liquid, income-producing positions, and this feels like a smart way to do it. If you've got a retirement account that could use a boost, you might find this approach especially appealing. To hear why I've done a complete 180 on stocks, tune into this week's episode of the Wealth Formula Podcast, where I sit down with the cash-flowing-stocks guru himself, Andy Tanner. P.S.

He opens up about the hard lessons he learned during the 2008 recession, how he started with nothing, and why he made the shift from real estate to business acquisitions.Joshua talks about what it really takes to buy and grow companies—from saving his first down payment as a driver, to managing over 160 employees across four states. He breaks down the importance of leadership, doing proper due diligence, and how one failed deal in Miami reshaped his entire strategy. He also shares his future plans for expansion and invites listeners to partner with him in upcoming deals.This conversation is all about smart investing, learning from failure, and staying focused on the bigger goal. Whether you're just getting started or looking to pivot, Joshua's story offers a clear and honest look into what building real wealth through business acquisitions looks like.===Key Topics:-Starting in real estate during a recession-Shifting from real estate to business buying-Learning from failed deals and doing better due diligence-Managing teams and leading with purpose-Building cash flow through business ownership===

In multifamily, you can still buy properties for $65,000-$75,000 per unit that generate strong cash flow.

Stan Remling, Partner at Follow the Deal Investments, has accumulated a portfolio of 700 units over the past few years within a two-hour drive of Indianapolis.

On a recent coaching call with one of my apprentices, we looked at some deals. One of his deals is in North Carolina and he sent a blind offer to the seller. His offer wound up being a bit too high to make good money on it, so we walked through things together. The beauty of using owner financing is that you can accept a lower cash offer and turn the remaining balance due into monthly payments. Charge some interest and you've got yourself some decent cash flow and profit coming in.Here, I walk through the scenario with my apprentice and show you the exact steps to take to start turning your land deals into cash-flowing assets. The power of cash flow by assets is that you start thinking like a rich person, not like a broke person. When you generate serious cash flow, you can achieve financial freedom. This isn't a scam or a get-rich-quick scheme. It's real estate investing 101!What's Inside:—How to turn land deals into cash-flowing assets—The power of owner financing—Why producing cash flow allows you to think like the rich do

Can you invest in real estate with just $75,000? And not only invest but can you find cash-flowing rentals in solid markets with long-term profit potential without spending six figures? Yes, to both. Today, we're proving it's more than possible because we're finding on-market rental properties for sale that can be bought, renovated, and rented with a $75,000 (or less) investment. These are LIVE deals, meaning you could make an offer on them right after this podcast airs (seriously!). To help us out, Dave asked fellow investors Ashley Kehr and Henry Washington to bring a deal to the show that: 1. Has an all-in cost of $75,000 or less 2. Is on-market (on the MLS) 3. Isn't a house hack (you don't have to live in the property). Dave found his own deal and brought it along, too. So today, we're sharing three actual deals in three solid real estate markets, all that you can invest in with $75,000 or less. We found rental properties that not only cash flow hundreds of dollars a month but come close to (or beat) the 1% rule, AND one is already renovated, meaning you just need to find renters, and you're already making money. Don't let the naysayers fool you—this is PROOF you can find good rental properties even in 2024. In This Episode We Cover: How to invest $75,000 in real estate if you want cash-flowing rental properties Three distinct real estate markets that all offer below-average rental property prices How much to keep in cash reserves for your first investment property “Value-add” potential you can spot that'll help you boost equity in your property The one cost that you really need to check before you buy in a new market Key indicators that point to a real estate market growing (or slowing) And So Much More!

Are new construction homes a good investment right now? Well, that depends. If you want a lower price for a property in a better condition, with a lower mortgage rate and the ability to charge more rent, then new construction homes are what you need. This “sleeper” investment is now cheaper to buy than a regular rental property, but since it's a new build, it comes with a fraction of the headaches and repairs than most “used” homes. So if they're cheaper, better, and make you more money, why isn't everyone buying a new home? Kathy Fettke has been investing in new construction homes for decades. At first, it was just a way for her to have a more passive real estate portfolio. But now, she knows she can make much more with new homes than buying existing rentals. Since so much of her portfolio is new builds, we brought her to the show to share why this investment may be the best on the market. We'll get into new construction pricing and why new homes are CHEAPER than existing homes but offer better amenities, safer structures, and often much lower insurance prices. Next, how to get a rock-bottom mortgage rate by negotiating with builders (we're talking three or four percent interest rates!). Plus, Kathy shares precisely how to ensure you're buying a new home in the path of progress so you can rake in appreciation. In This Episode We Cover Why new construction rental properties may be one of the best investments of 2024 Saving serious money on your mortgage with rate buydowns paid for by the developers Why new construction home prices are CHEAPER than existing home prices in 2024 Buying in the “path of progress” to ensure your home value keeps growing Factoring in appreciation into your next deal and whether you should account for it at all And So Much More!
