Get the Midterm Rental Insurance Blueprint: https://experimentrealestate.com/#blueprintIn this insightful episode of In The Lab, Ruben welcomes back returning guest Zeona McIntyre for a conversation on how real estate investors can evolve with the market while staying grounded in what really matters. Zeona first joined the show in Episode 215, “Normalizing the 30-Day Stay in Your Short-Term Rental Business.” Since that conversation, both the market and Zeona's investing approach have continued to evolve, making this return to the lab a timely update on where opportunities exist today.Zeona shares how her journey has progressed from short-term rental arbitrage to property ownership, mid-term rentals, and now creative financing strategies designed to help investors operate in a higher-interest-rate environment. She breaks down the concept of subject-to financing in simple terms, explains how creative deal structures can solve real problems for buyers and sellers, and highlights how investors can position themselves to acquire properties without relying solely on traditional lending.Throughout the discussion, Ruben and Zeona explore the importance of experimentation in entrepreneurship, emphasizing how investors must continually adapt their strategies as markets shift. Zeona also shares real examples of creative deals, including situations where distressed sellers were able to exit challenging financial positions while investors stepped in with new visions for the property. These stories highlight how creative financing can create multiple wins across a single transaction.The conversation expands beyond deal structures into the broader mindset required to thrive as an entrepreneur. Ruben and Zeona discuss collaboration, relationship-driven deal flow, and the shift from trying to do everything alone to building networks where multiple people benefit from a single opportunity. They also explore the growing influence of AI and why building strong cash-flowing assets may become even more important as technology reshapes industries.Toward the end of the episode, Zeona shares insights from her upcoming book, The Creative Closer, which outlines several creative financing strategies and the negotiation frameworks investors can use to structure deals in unconventional ways. She closes with a reminder that while entrepreneurs often focus on the next milestone, it's just as important to slow down, appreciate the present moment, and find small pockets of joy in everyday life.Tune in now to hear how Zeona McIntyre continues to experiment, adapt, and help investors think differently about creative financing, collaboration, and the future of real estate.KEEPING IT REAL03:20 – Investor evolution04:36 – Experimentation mindset06:38 – Sub-to deal story07:43 – Creative financing shift08:15 – STR tax strategy10:41 – Subject-to explained12:20 – Writing new book15:00 – Creative deal case21:27 – Creative deal tools24:14 – AI and real estate25:01 – Cash flow strategy31:26 – Collaboration mindset45:15 – Enjoy the momentCONNECT WITH THE GUESTWebsite: https://www.zeonamcintyre.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zeona-mcintyre/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeonamcintyre#CreativeFinancing #RealEstateInvesting #CashFlow #SubjectTo #Wholesaling #InvestorMindset #Entrepreneurship #MidTermRentals #InTheLab

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – When geopolitical tensions escalate into war, the immediate reaction is almost always the same: volatility. Markets fall sharply, investors panic, and many people begin asking the same frightening question: Could my retirement account go to zero? The most important takeaway for everyday Americans is simple: short-term market turmoil does not...
Canada’s residential mortgage market is a $32 billion annual asset class in Ontario alone. Plus, it’s structurally undersupplied. Unlike the US, Canada has no 30-year fixed mortgage. As a result, strict banking regulations push Canadian homeowners into the private lending market every few years. That forced refinancing cycle produces delinquency rates roughly one-eighth of what US private lenders see. On top of that, the recourse process in Canada runs just 60–90 days. Chris Lopez sits down with Hugh Tawney, founder of Leeward Capital Partners. Together, they walk through how Property Llama Capital gained access to this market and why they made it part of their Capital 3 fund. Hugh brings an institutional finance background in public equities, fixed income, life settlements, venture, and structured credit. Before founding Leeward, he spent years building fund vehicles across multiple asset classes. His CFO managed fund accounting for 38 entities at a Denver venture firm. His COO, meanwhile, helped build ArrowMark’s multifamily origination platform — a $5 billion book. Their Canadian operating partner, Aman Mann, ran a mortgage investment company from 2017 to 2023. In total, he originated approximately 500 loans with zero impairment of principal. The fund focuses on first and second lien residential mortgages — bridge loans, fix and flip, and short-term refinances. Currently, the portfolio sits at a 76.4% weighted average LTV with an 80% hard ceiling. Also worth noting: two-thirds to three-quarters of the loan book is owner-occupied. Homeowners, after all, default at a fraction of the rate that investment property owners do. For third-party validation, the fund works with Baker Tilly (tax and audit), NAV Consulting (fund administration), UMB (custody), and Stout (quarterly independent valuations). In This Episode We Cover: Why Canada’s lack of 30-year fixed mortgages creates a structural private lending opportunity every 3–5 years How Ontario’s power of sale process delivers 60–90 day recourse vs multi-year US foreclosure timelines The tax structure that classifies fund distributions as qualified dividends — potentially a 30–50% reduction in tax burden vs ordinary income How currency hedging via forwards contracts protects principal at a cost of 8–15 basis points The pending leverage strategy projected to take gross yields from 12% unlevered to 20% levered Why Leeward targets the lower end of the Canadian market — less competition, more inefficiency, higher yields The 15-month liquidity window and how it mirrors a short-term bond fund duration with a private credit return profile If you’re an accredited investor looking at private credit and want to understand an asset class that most US investors have never encountered — this is the episode to start with. Property Llama’s due diligence included a three-to-four day on-site asset tour in Toronto and a personal investment from Chris before the fund was opened to the broader investor community.

In this episode, Jim Oliver sits down with David Morgan, founder of The Morgan Report, to discuss the realities behind precious metals investing and why most investors misunderstand the sector.

Nichole Yembra is a force of nature in the African tech ecosystem. As a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and an Obama Foundation Leader, she has overseen over $500 million in capital raises and fostered the growth of giants like Flutterwave and Max. In this deep-dive interview on Found Connect, Nichole shares the raw, unfiltered reality of what it takes to build, fail, and scale in Nigeria and beyond.Nichole discusses her transition from a high-flying career at EY in Atlanta and Brazil to becoming the "Chief Problem Solver" in Lagos. She opens up about the "Mamba Mentality" she adopted from Kobe Bryant—a relentless, competitive drive that pushed her to leave her comfort zone and redefine success. She explains why she dropped "loyalty" as a top value after facing a betrayal that forced her to start from scratch, and why she now prioritizes authenticity and curiosity above all else.This conversation goes beyond business metrics. Nichole talks about the physiological nature of emotions, the "cognitive loneliness" of leadership, and the power of female friendships. She breaks down why most businesses are actually not "venture-backable" and provides a masterclass for founders on the importance of timing, execution, and customer money over investor funding. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, an investor, or someone looking for the motivation to "craft your life," this episode is packed with gems.From her early days as a "terrible child" jumping gates in Lagos to building 143—a wellness and Pilates sanctuary—Nichole's story is one of evolution. Learn how she balances being a mother of twins, a managing partner, and a creative spirit while maintaining a deep sense of gratitude and peace in the chaos of Nigeria.

Retirement account balances are rising — but so are withdrawals. New data from Fidelity shows the average 401(k) balance climbed more than 11% in 2025 as the stock market posted another strong year. But at the same time, a growing number of Americans are tapping their retirement savings early. Hardship withdrawals and 401(k) loans both increased last year, signaling that many households are still feeling financial pressure despite market gains. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest retirement savings data and what it reveals about the financial health of American workers. She also explains why relying on stock market retirement accounts alone may leave investors vulnerable during periods of economic stress. For many investors, income-producing real estate offers a different approach to building long-term wealth — providing potential cash flow, inflation protection, and the ability to hold a hard asset that can appreciate over time. Learn what the latest 401(k) trends mean for retirement security — and why diversification may matter more than ever.

The 'Fractional Home' Deal Most Investors Ignore breaks down how Strickland Holloway is building a "fractional" second-home model that's not a timeshare, giving everyday buyers a way to own part of a waterfront property with real tax benefits, shared costs, and flexible usage. He shares how he got started in real estate, why the best deals are made when you buy right, and the decision-making framework that separates wealthy operators from everyone else. The conversation also covers why he avoids partnerships, how he finds overlooked waterfront land using simple research tools, and how cash flow and owner-financing helped him rebuild after losing major equity during the 2008 crash. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

Are you tired of chasing the same tired foreclosure lists that every other investor in town is already cold-calling? In today's market of chaos and distressed debt, the real "Monopoly" winners aren't just collecting $200 for passing Go—they are finding the deals six to twelve months before they ever hit the public radar.

Deep-Dive Data: Understanding "loan level" information, including exact addresses, equity positions, and exactly how many months a borrower is in default. Creative Exit Strategies: How to turn these distressed leads into "Subject To" deals, owner financing opportunities, or traditional listings. Geographic Opportunities: Why this isn't just a Texas or Florida play—opportunities are popping up in New York, New Jersey, and even Alaska and Hawaii. The Partnership Model: How to work with Scott to get these leads delivered to your inbox once or twice a month, either through a small fee or a referral relationship. Due Diligence Support: How Scott's team can now assist with BPOs, O&Es, and other critical due diligence documents for your deals.

Unlocking Advanced Tax Savings: How Strategic Trusts Empower Entrepreneurs with Sally GimonIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Sally Gimon, a dedicated Investor and tax strategist at The Trust is You, to dismantle the common frustrations business owners face during tax season. Despite having experienced CPAs, many entrepreneurs find themselves blindsided by massive tax bills—a pain point Sally knows intimately from her own early days in real estate. Their conversation dives into the specialized world of non-grantor irrevocable spendthrift trusts, a legal framework used by America's wealthiest dynasties to protect assets and defer taxes. This episode serves as a vital resource for high-achieving founders looking to move beyond basic deductions and into the elite level of wealth preservation.Beyond Compliance: Why Your CPA Might Be Missing Millions in SavingsMost business owners rely solely on their CPAs for tax advice, but there is a fundamental gap between tax compliance and specialized trust law. CPAs are expertly trained in the tax code, yet only a tiny fraction of professionals are versed in the nuances of contract law and the specific IRS codes that govern complex trusts. This often leads to a "compliance trap" where entrepreneurs follow the rules perfectly but still overpay because they aren't utilizing the same legal structures as the Rockefellers or the Kennedys. By bridging this gap, business owners can move from a reactive state of paying what they're told to a proactive state of legally shielding their hard-earned capital.The core of Sally's strategy revolves around Tax Code 643(b), which allows certain types of trusts to defer capital gains and passive income legally. While the IRS may issue memos expressing disapproval of aggressive strategies, it is important to remember that only Congress has the power to change the tax code itself. For business owners with appreciating assets like real estate or intellectual property, these trusts offer a dual benefit: significant tax deferral and robust asset protection from creditors or lawsuits. Implementing these structures requires a shift in mindset, moving away from "income management" toward "asset orchestration" within a protected legal entity.Ultimately, the goal of advanced tax planning is to provide the founder with more liquidity to reinvest in their mission and legacy. Sally emphasizes that these tools are not "loopholes" but are established parts of the American legal system designed to encourage long-term investment and wealth stability. By leveraging educational resources and weekly masterminds, entrepreneurs can demystify these complex structures and determine if they are ready to implement a spendthrift or beneficial trust. Taking control of one's tax destiny is about more than just numbers; it's about ensuring that the value created by the business remains within the family or the organization for generations to come.About Sally GimonSally Gimon is an experienced Investor and a leading advocate for tax education through her platform, The Trust is You. After facing a nearly six-figure tax bill early in her real estate career, she dedicated herself to uncovering the wealth-preservation secrets of the ultra-wealthy. Today, she helps business owners across 165 countries understand trust law to protect their assets and slash their tax burdens.About The Trust is YouThe Trust is You is an educational and strategic resource center focused on democratizing advanced tax-saving tools. The company provides video courses, weekly mastermind sessions, and specialized consulting on non-grantor irrevocable spendthrift trusts. Their mission is to empower entrepreneurs with the knowledge to legally minimize taxes and protect their legacy using proven trust frameworks.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeThe Trust is You Official WebsiteSally Gimon on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsThe CPA Limitation: Understanding why compliance-focused accounting often overlooks advanced wealth-preservation strategies.The Power of 643(b): How this specific tax code allows for the legal deferral of capital gains and passive income within a trust.Asset Protection: Why spendthrift trusts are the gold standard for shielding your business and personal assets from litigation.The "Rockefeller" Strategy: Lessons from America's wealthiest families on using contract law to maintain multi-generational wealth.Democratizing Knowledge: How Sally's free resources are making elite tax strategies accessible to small and medium-sized business owners.ConclusionThis conversation with Sally Gimon highlights that while the tax code is complex, it contains powerful provisions for those willing to look beyond standard accounting. By integrating trust law into your financial strategy, you can transform your relationship with the IRS and keep more of your wealth working for you.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

We searched far and wide for those top stock ideas, and we featured some incredible guests to share their insights on the show all month.That included: 1) Feb 1: "The Eyes of AI"Emmet Savage and I looked into the new world of "Physical AI" and how it was using solid-state LiDAR to see all of its surroundings. Our stock of focus was Ouster $OUST.https://youtube.com/live/yYpByizVWc02) Feb 9: "The Future of the Chip Industry"Robert Quinn and I discussed Elon's TeraFab idea, space-based datacenters, and why the AI "bubble" is actually more of an AI "inflection point". Our stock of focus was Tesla $TSLA.https://youtube.com/live/Qmk84KLaX0Y3) Feb 16: "Why Infrastructure is the Real Winner in the Age of AI"John Rotonti and I discussed "SaaS-pocalypse" and why several vendors were hidden winners in the $3 trillion AI infrastructure spending through 2030. Our stocks of focus were Amphenol $APH and Trane Technologies $TT.https://youtube.com/live/zFTcaGY3rkM4) Feb 18: "NVIDIA vs AMD: The $1 Trillion AI Chip War Explained"Nick Rossolillo and I described the ambitious forecasts recently issued by chipmakers and the role of newcomers with creative new designs.

Find me on Substack!Matt Reustle is the former CEO of Colossus and architect of the Business Breakdowns podcast, who spent a decade at Goldman Sachs mastering business dissection before building one of the investment world's most influential media platforms.The episode is sponsored by TenzingMEMO — the AI-powered market intelligence platform I use daily for smarter company analysis. Code BILLIONS gets you an extended trial + 10% off.3:00 – Matt reflects on his upbringing: engineer father, educator mother, and how dinner table conversations about managing teams shaped his thinking on accountability and action.5:00 – The pivot from Goldman Sachs to Colossus: Matt describes the frustration with compliance-driven communication at large firms and the freedom podcasting offered to reach wider audiences with authentic analysis.7:15 – Second-order impact of content: how episodes designed for investors also reach management teams, founders, and unexpected audiences who extract different lessons.10:51 – From analyzing businesses to running one: Matt describes eating “humble pie” when moving from the investor seat to the operator seat, gaining appreciation for nuance, experimentation, and details that don't scale.15:06 – The Patek Philippe episode and stewardship: watches powered by human movement, built to last centuries, and the marketing genius of positioning a product as something you never truly own but look after for the next generation.19:09 – Long-term thinking benefits you now: Bogumil argues that applying a multi-generational filter to decisions delivers returns in the current generation, not just future ones.22:58 – What makes a compounder: Matt identifies three characteristics — a self-reinforcing sales model, religious cost efficiency, and disciplined capital allocation — set against the macro backdrop of industries growing faster than GDP.31:35 – Mapping value chains: finding mission-critical, low-cost components with high barriers to entry where small players capture outsized profits.37:34 – Financial hygiene: management teams that communicate future flexibility and demonstrate depth of knowledge signal discipline; track records outweigh rhetoric.43:40 – Evolutionary DNA of businesses: the ability to adapt and pivot, what Henry Ellenbogen calls “act two companies,” and why the best investors change their minds when information changes.49:30 – Audience of one philosophy: creating content for a specific person breeds focus, quality, and trust — and paradoxically reaches far more people than content designed for mass appeal.54:35 – AI as a creative superpower: interacting with your own content library in new ways, finding use cases from peers, and owning the technology rather than letting it own you.58:20 – Success as fulfillment: family, creation, and relationships — Matt's definition shaped by watching his parents balance it all.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.
