My guest today is Alex Nicoll, reporter at Insider, who penned an article earlier this month (September 2023) headlined ‘Real Estate Crowdfunding is a House of Cards.' How could I resist but to give him a call, as real estate crowdfunding is my lifeblood these days, and ask him more about what he was writing about, what he discovered, and what was the background to the article. Well, the article was focused on the PeerStreet bankruptcy that emerged over the last few weeks and was not an indictment of the entire online real estate syndication industry and what you are going to learn today from Alex is how he did his research into that bankruptcy, the kind of documents that he looked at, and the people he spoke to. Alex shares insights into what he discovered and his thoughts about real estate crowdfunding in general and you'll also learn about the business model of Peerstreet, how they raised venture capital, and how much venture capital they did actually raise to put their business plan together. It is a mind-boggling number. We also discuss the various factors that have impacted this particular niche in commercial real estate crowdfunding, which is the single-family home fix and flip market, and the factors that have driven Peerstreet to their unfortunate demise. It was a pleasure talking with Alex and, although the sounds quality is not the best, I'm sure you'll find the conversation and his insights of great interest. ** In this brand new podcast series at GowerCrowd, The Real Estate Reality Show, we take a realistic view of commercial real estate investing, providing pragmatic insights for passive investors who are looking for sponsors they can trust and distressed opportunities they can invest in. You'll find no quick fixes or easy money ideas here, no sales pitches, big egos or hype. You'll learn how to build your wealth while protecting your capital investing as a limited partner in commercial real estate investments, even and especially during an economic downturn.

Thought we were done with mortgage rate hikes? Not so fast. The Fed always has time to get mad about something else and push interest rates even higher. This time, a surprise job report makes the Fed furious and could lead to a much more difficult housing market for investors and homebuyers. But this news isn't all we've got on this episode. We're touching on some of the biggest stories across the housing market, summing them up, and sharing them with you so you can bob and weave with the ever-changing economy. Want to invest in real estate with just a thousand bucks? If so, you're NOT in luck because one prominent real estate crowdfunding platform has just gone bankrupt. But don't worry; it's not all doom and gloom. The new jobs report is painting a stellar economic picture but could lead to you having a more expensive loan. And for those that own short-term rentals, one housing market forecaster is predicting a mass sell-off due to Airbnb host income declining. Finally, we'll talk about home prices, whether they're actually falling or not, and how home buyers are STILL bidding even during some of the lowest affordability we've ever seen. Keep your pulse on the property market; tune into this week's real estate roundup! In This Episode We Cover Short-term rental stagnation and why hosts are seeing income dwindle Whether or not a massive vacation home sell-off could come to the housing market Mortgage rate hikes, new job numbers, and why the Fed is furious again PeerStreet's recent bankruptcy and what this means for crowdfunding investors The half-truth of home prices “falling” and why some markets are still seeing bidding wars And So Much More!

We are on the verge of massive change where innovations in mobile, digital money and machine learning are changing how we move money and manage our finances. An expert on these technologies is Alex Rampell, who plays a significant role in building the future of financial services. A General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, Alex also serves on the board of Branch, Brightside, Descript, Divvy, Earnin, FlyHomes, Loft, Mercury, PeerStreet, Point, Propel, Sentilink, Super Evil Mega Corp, Transferwise, and Very Good Security. Alex additionally led the firm's investments in OpenDoor ($OPEN), Plaid, Quantopian (acquired by Robinhood), and Rival (acquired by LiveNation). Prior to joining the firm, Alex co-founded multiple companies, including Affirm ($AFRM), which he co-founded with Max Levchin, FraudEliminator (acquired by McAfee in 2006), Point, TrialPay (acquired by Visa in 2015), TXN (acquired by Envestnest in 2019), and Yub (acquired by Coupons.com in 2013). Join Willy Walker and Alex Rampell on this week's Walker Webcast as they explore the ins and outs of fintech, the right mindset in approaching investments, censorship-resistant technology, lessons from a dental software story, the future of financial services, and so much more. Willy invites Alex to share his Andover boarding school experience, getting to Harvard and starting his little software business when students are prohibited from doing it from their dorm room. "It was a part-time thing, but I used to sell software on the internet in the 90s when this was not really a mainstream thing, which ironically made it much easier to do because you were not competing with millions of software developers around the world." From being an undergrad to jumping right into entrepreneurship, Alex attributes luck, common sense, and not being afraid to fail as his ingredients of starting a company in college and making his way to success. Alex emphasizes the importance of empathy and a grounded understanding, especially in venture capitalism. He brings this mindset and experience to Andreessen Horowitz as an outstanding investor. He also uses an example of looking at the video of Tiger Woods as a kid hitting his 25-yard drive. "One can think, hey, I'm 40, I can hit a drive much further than that little kid, I'm much better than him." or "Wow if that kid keeps it up, he could win 15 majors in the future." In a venture mindset, you have to default to that latter category and realize that you're not looking at Baby Tiger Woods; you're looking at something that will not work. But you can't judge it on the present because it is an extraordinarily easy way to never really win." Tune in to this new episode of the Walker Webcast — FinTech and Venture Capital Alex Rampell, General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz.

A Millennial’s Guide to Real Estate Investing With Antoine Martel
On this episode I sit down Brett Crosby who is the COO and Co-Founder of PeerStreet. We talk about how PeerStreet works and how investors can invest in real estate debt, something that many investors do not have the opportunity to invest in. If you have a question that you want to be answered on the next episode, tweet me or DM me @martelantoine. Or you can ask questions here - martelturnkey.com/podcast-questions/
This week's Fintech Focus podcast takes a look at how one fintech startup is changing the way we invest in real estate. Yes, people have always been able to invest in private real estate equity, which has proven to be an attractive venture for most. But it's real estate debt, an asset usually controlled by banks as institutional products, that is now stepping in as an enticing investment. That's where Brett Crosby of PeerStreet saw an opportunity to bring accredited investors into the octagon of real estate-backed loans. ----- **What were some roadblocks people were having in terms of accessing certain assets?** Until previously, lenders didn't have a secondary market. They were very capital constrained. So, what we realized is that, in the meantime, investors had access to their asset classes, really interesting assets, but were very hard to access; very hard to aggregate enough uproar even institutional investors et cetera. So, it was a space that really needed technology in a marketplace to connect both sides. We put PeerStreet there as a conduit between the world wide capital markets and local private loaners who understand their local real estate market. All of a sudden what's happened is that investors can access an asset class that they couldn't access easily before. They can diversify it in a way never before possible. If something goes wrong in the investment, instead of them having to put together a team of people to try and solve the problem, we already have that team in place, then we work with external professionals in the local markets to handle things....To me it's a very, very positive thing, and something that if we power one borrower to do that, that's great, but now we're powering thousands of borrowers to do that sort of thing. It's starting to have an impact on the housing stock of the nation, so it's getting pretty exciting. ----- Links: PeerStreet: https://www.peerstreet.com/ Benzinga Pro: www.try.benzingapro.com Fintech Focus Newsletter: www.benzinga.com/fintech-focus/newsletter/
David from Pittsburgh asks, "We see that online investment platforms such as YieldStreet, RealtyShares, PeerStreet, to name a few, are gaining momentum. For example, despite giving somewhat modest return on investment, YieldStreet has successfully raised over 500M since the company was founded in 2015 (per their newsletter in Oct, 2018). Technology such as Uber and Airbnb can have the amazing ability to create trust between strangers in transactions, mostly with the irresistible lure of convenience. Do you think these online investment platforms, by offering the convenience of investing with a few mouse clicks, will minimize the need of some elements of capital raising mentioned in your book Magnetic Capital, such as pre-existing relationship?" David, That is a great question. In my book Magnetic Capital, I talk about 5 elements that need to met in order to successfully raise money. They are 1) Relationship 2) Trust 3) Results 4) Compelling Opportunity 5) Alignment If you start to peel back some of these elements, notably relationship and track record, they’re really sub-elements of trust. The psychological contract of trust is a complex one with a lot of layers. If you need $1M for your project, do you want one investor with a million dollars, or do you want a million investors each with $1? Mathematically, both will get you to the same result. But the approach needed for those two capital raises are dramatically different. You need to establish a lot more trust to attract $1M than just $1, even if you are raising $1 one million times.

You can Subscribe to this podcast and stay up to date on all the stories here on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and iHeartRadio This is an extended interview. In this episode the host John Siracusa chats with Brett Crosby from PeerStreet and co-founder of Google Analytics. Brett co-founded a company called Urchin software which was acquired in April 2005 by Google and morphed into Google Analytics. He was on his honeymoon during his first day at google and he talked about how everything in his life changed during the 15 minutes he was about to walk the aisle to do his wedding vows. He talked about google a bit and he discussed in detail how after creating a business case for a two sided mortgage investment platform (soon to be PeerStreet) they went to Michael Burry (Christian Bale's character from “The Big Short”) who predicted the crash of the subprime mortgage market, what he said during that meeting reinforced the notion that if Brew and Brett can do this at scale can prevent the next housing crash. Astonishingly they asked Michael to be an adviser and he said “no” I want to invest in your company. The reason Michael wanted to invest was because he felt PeerStreet was solving a systemic problem in the mortgage industry. Similar to the scale in how Urchin (now Google Analytics) solved a massive problem companies with websites. But the road to get there started from the acquisition of Urchin by Google, and then transformed into Google Analytics, that road wasn't so smooth. Urchin almost died on the vine early on when it failed to secure their series A. The deal was nearly done and the investor was flying up from Boston to bring the check and sign the final documents in person which was supposed to take place on 9/11/2001, the investor had to pull out of the deal. There were dark and difficult times ahead for Urchin, ironically, not getting that series A helped Brett and the other co-founders make the Google opportunity a reality but it happened out of necessity. What took place to make the deal come together with Google was fascinating. Tune in and Listen. Subscribe now to hear Tuesday's interview with Phillip Rosen from Even Financial.

Interview with PeerStreet's co founder and COO, Brett Crosby which is the Peer-2-Peer lending platform that secures the loans against the borrower’s real estate. PeerStreet is unique in that to date they have never experienced a default, and have loan terms of under 12 months compared to other platforms that have minimums of 3 years. Brett and his Co-Founder Brew Johnson have the perfect background of experience between law, tech, and real-estate. In fact, Brett was the brains behind Google Urchin, which was acquired and became Google Analytics. In this episode we discuss how the P-2-P lending space is changing, and how technology can enable more efficient deal flow and better lender-borrower matching. Enabled by sophisticated technology, PeerStreet uses Big Data to cross reference over 20 years of submarket data in order to vet and stress test each loan. We also do a deep dive into our 16 loan positions we currently have invested through the platform and what we can expect as an investor. The episode represents a great learning opportunity on the types of modern investing opportunities that we are passionately looking to discover and share. *since we recorded the podcast, PeerStreet did have to finally file a notice of default on a loan, but still has zero losses to date.
