Real-estate operator August Biniaz (Co-Founder & CIO, CPI Capital) breaks down how he grew from agent and small developer to closing $225M+ in multifamily assets—plus the boutique advantages that win in today's market: cross-border investor structures, a mid-market acquisition lane ($20–$50M), and ruthless underwriting discipline (rent growth, exit caps, and debt selection). We cover value-add vs BTR, lessons from deals walked away from, and why talent, conservative debt, and 95% occupancy targets matter more than spreadsheets. Highlights The mid-market moat: Why 100–300 doors, < $50M assets in Tampa (FL) and San Antonio (TX) are a sweet spot. LP economics first: Targeting 15–20% average annualized returns and passing the "net-to-investor" test before bidding. Underwriting levers that kill deals: Keeping organic rent growth to ~2.5%–3%, and being conservative on exit cap rates. Debt is destiny: Why fixed, interest-only 5-year debt reduces "debt distress" risk. Boutique advantage: Direct access to principals, tight asset management, investor dinners, and hands-on ops. Cross-border structure: How Canadian LPs invest into U.S. deals while avoiding double taxation and using registered retirement funds (via MFT). Lessons learned: "Best deals are often the ones you walk away from," plus "hire slow, fire fast. Enjoyed this?

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group's Afghanistan expert Ibraheem Bahiss and South Asia director Samina Ahmed about clashes this week between Afghan and Pakistani forces. Richard first speaks with Ibraheem about what triggered the latest confrontation, including reported Pakistani strikes on Pakistani militants, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), in Kabul and in border regions. They trace the strained relations between Kabul and Islamabad and why the Taliban authorities struggle to address Pakistan's concerns – with Islamabad accusing the Kabul authorities of sheltering the TTP and allowing cross-border attacks – even as they have reined in other foreign militants. Richard then turns to Samina to discuss the spike in militant violence in Pakistan's western regions, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, how Islamabad views possible rapprochement between the Taliban and India, Islamabad's broader foreign relations – including a defence pact with Saudi Arabia and warmer ties to Washington – and the risk of further clashes.Click here to listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Send us a textThe remarkable journey of an 11-year-old girl named Em demonstrates the life-changing power of cross-border collaboration in child protection. When Em was trafficked from her home in Liberia to Sierra Leone under false promises of education, she instead found herself forced into domestic labor and street selling. After becoming separated from her trafficker and lost on the streets, local authorities connected her with the Child Reintegration Center (CRC).Through counseling sessions, CRC discovered Em wasn't from Sierra Leone at all, presenting a complex international challenge. What happened next showcases the extraordinary impact of professional networking in child welfare. George Kulanda from CRC and Prezton Gonkerwon Vaye from Red Meets Green had previously met at a child protection training workshop where they exchanged contact information. This connection became the crucial link in Em's rescue, demonstrating how seemingly small professional relationships can transform lives.The multinational effort expanded to include multiple stakeholders across both countries, coordinating Em's safe transport to the border, completing necessary documentation, and arranging temporary placement while family tracing continued. In a touching development, Em's parents learned about their daughter's whereabouts and traveled to claim her, resulting in an emotional reunion filled with "joyful tears." Today, Em is back in school and dreams of becoming a doctor to serve her village community. Her mother now educates neighbors about trafficking risks, creating ripple effects of protection throughout their community.This story reminds us that behind every trafficking statistic stands a child with dreams and potential. When organizations unite across borders, even the most complex cases find resolution. As Elena, the youth co-host wisely observed: "There's always light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to be resilient and willing to seek it."

At the Global Markets Forum hosted at OTC Markets Group's New York office, three leading exchange executives Jason Paltrowitz, Executive Vice President of OTC Markets Group; James Black, Vice President of the Canadian Securities Exchange; and Steve Henney, Co-Head of Business Development for the Aquis Stock Exchange joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the evolving landscape of public market access and global investor engagement. Paltrowitz highlighted the OTC Markets' pivotal role as the largest U.S. stock market for non-U.S. equities, helping early-stage and international companies reach U.S. investors more efficiently. “We preach from the same hymnal,” he said, emphasizing the shared commitment between OTC Markets, CSE, and Aquis to make public markets more open, efficient, and accessible worldwide. Representing the CSE, Black spoke about the exchange's mission to support small and medium-sized enterprises seeking to raise public venture capital. He noted a strong synergy with OTC Markets, which helps CSE-listed issuers expand visibility and attract investment from U.S. capital markets. Henney provided the UK perspective, describing Aquis as a growth-focused exchange designed to give early-stage companies global exposure. He pointed to signs of recovery in both market activity and retail investor confidence, highlighting a robust IPO pipeline building over the next six months. The discussion also touched on improving market dynamics and increasing investor participation across regions. Black shared that the CSE is already $1 billion ahead of last year's performance, while Paltrowitz noted a significant uptick in trading volumes on the OTC particularly in the UK, Canada, and Germany as U.S. investors continue to look abroad for growth opportunities. All three leaders underscored the importance of long-term issuer support, consistent investor engagement, and cross-border collaboration to drive market strength. As Black concluded, “We have to provide optionality to our clients, it's not just happening in our own backyard.” #proactiveinvestors #otcmarkets #cse #aquisstockexchange #GlobalMarkets #PublicListings #InvestorAccess #SmallCapStocks #IPOMarket #StockMarketInsights #CapitalMarkets #MarketRecovery #USInvestors #InternationalListings #EquityMarkets #ProactiveInvestors

The One Big Beautiful Bill is now signed into law, prompting questions about tax risks, retaliatory measures, and impacts on U.S. real estate. So what does it all mean for cross-border investors in property markets? AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson sat down with DLA Piper tax partner Shiukay Hung to discuss the impact of the bill. “The Big Beautiful Bill is a very interesting piece of legislation,” says Hung, “Perhaps it's one of the few tax legislations in recent memory that came with a lot of tax drama.” The bill, which aimed to maintain tax cuts, proposed a 50% retaliatory tax on foreign investors from countries with unfair tax practices, and could have significantly affected investment returns. Despite initial concerns, the retaliatory tax provision, Section 899, was dropped before passing. Now that the bill is law, how should cross-border investors weigh domestic tax exemptions against international treaties, and what role does the bond market play in shaping policy? It's all in the latest episode of the AFIRE podcast.

In this episode of our Cross-Border Catch-Up podcast series, Skye Hao (Atlanta) and Lina Fernandez (Boston) explore the significant changes in Hong Kong's employment regulations, specifically the transition from the 418 rule to the new 468 rule. The speakers discuss how this change, which will take effect in January 2026, aims to improve protections for part-time and casual workers by redefining the qualifications for continuous contracts. They also examine the implications of these changes for both employees and employers in Hong Kong's dynamic labor market.
