Vontenea's journey from being an investor to creating a platform that democratizes real estate investment is both inspiring and impactful. Her passion for involving family, friends, and a broader community in her successful real estate ventures led to the birth of Secure Living.As Vontenea shared, the motivation behind Secure Living was to lower the barriers to real estate investment. “Historically, in order for it to be an equalizer, you have to have the capital,” she said. This realization drove her and her co-founder to create a platform where individuals can invest as little as $250, making real estate investment accessible to a wider audience.This inclusive approach is not just about finances but also about fostering trust and ensuring diligent management of funds. Vontenea emphasized the importance of compliance and regulation, highlighting that despite the challenges, it was worth it to gain the trust of investors and provide them with secure opportunities. “People need to have trust in your organization and your company,” she noted.One of the most compelling aspects of our conversation was discussing how crowdfunding is proving to be more effective than traditional venture capital in supporting diverse founders. Vontenea pointed out the success rates among Women of Color, attributing it to their determination and grit. “There is a high success rate that we do see, especially in Women of Color specifically,” she said, reflecting on the resilience and innovative spirit of these entrepreneurs.Real estate, as Vontenea explained, can be an equalizer in society. By lowering the investment threshold, Secure Living enables more people to participate in wealth-building opportunities historically inaccessible to them. This democratization of real estate investment is a crucial step towards economic equity.I am grateful for the opportunity to share Vontenea's story. Her work at Secure Living is a testament to how innovative solutions in crowdfunding can drive social impact and create more inclusive economic opportunities. Stay tuned for more inspiring conversations on “Superpowers for Good.”Vontenea's insights highlight the potential of crowdfunding to foster diverse and inclusive investment opportunities, paving the way for a more equitable future in real estate and beyond.tl;dr:1. Introduction to Secure Living: Tina Stokes is the CEO and founder of Secure Living, a regulated crowdfunding portal focused on real estate investments. She transitioned from being an investor to creating a platform to involve more people, particularly family and friends, in her successful real estate ventures.2. Regulatory Challenges: Getting Secure Living regulated by the SEC and Finra was challenging, involving stringent compliance and audits. Despite the difficulties, Tina emphasizes the importance of trust and diligence due to the financial nature of the business.3. Diverse Investment Opportunities: Secure Living offers a variety of real estate investment opportunities, from single-family rentals to mixed-use spaces and even a manufacturing facility and hospital. This diversity aims to empower investors to choose investments suited to their interests and to encourage a broad range of participants by lowering the entry barrier to as little as $250.4. Impact of Diversity: Tina notes that crowdfunding can be particularly beneficial for diverse founders, including women and minorities, who often face barriers in traditional venture capital. She champions deliberate investment in diverse teams, which data suggests outperform monocultural teams due to varied perspectives and experiences.5. Personal Superpower: Faith: Tina credits her faith and relationship with Jesus Christ as her superpower, providing strength and guidance through challenging situations, including living abroad in Germany. She encourages daily practices such as prayer, reading the Bible, and surrounding oneself with supportive individuals to cultivate a strong relationship with faith.How to Develop Faith As a SuperpowerVontenea's superpower is her unwavering faith and relationship with Jesus Christ. She attributes her strength, resilience, and ability to bless others to this deep, personal connection, which she considers the foundation of her success and motivation.One of the most profound instances where Vontenea relied on her faith was during her time living in Germany. Stepping out of her comfort zone, she moved to a country where she didn't speak the language to pursue an opportunity with a manufacturer. Experiencing the challenges of adapting to a new culture and language, Vontenea leaned heavily on her faith, which sustained her through the difficult moments and allowed her to thrive in a foreign environment for nearly four years.Tips for Developing This Superpower:1. Focus on Relationship Over Religion: Build a personal relationship with your faith rather than following rituals for the sake of it. Seek a deeper connection and understanding.2. Daily Practice: Incorporate daily activities that strengthen your faith, such as prayer, reading sacred texts, or listening to spiritual music.3. Surround Yourself with Support: Engage with a community or individuals who encourage and support your faith journey.4. Be Vulnerable and Authentic: Embrace your imperfections and be honest about your struggles, allowing your faith to guide you through them.By following Vontenea Stokes's example and advice, you can make faith a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Today's guest Ian Ippolito, a seasoned investor known for his conservative investment strategies, discusses his take on the real estate market's first significant recession since the advent of real estate crowdfunding. Ian draws parallels between the initial impact of COVID-19 on multifamily properties and the current challenges facing the office sector. He discusses the office market's decline as a direct result of the remote work revolution leaving a surplus of vacant office space and a swatch of struggling deals, and talks about the impact on multifamily of the end of the rent increase era and the ensuing strain on investment models that failed to anticipate the current trends. You'll hear about the importance of taking a conservative investment approach and how fixed vs. floating rate debt and leverage levels measured against value (LTV) are used to protect principal as a priority to the lure of exponential but risky returns. In light of the recent troubles CrowdStreet has had, Ian talks about the critical role of due diligence for investors even (or especially) when investing via a platform. He reflects on the recent incidents of fraud within the industry, stressing the need for investor vigilance and the responsibility platforms bear in maintaining transparency and integrity. Offering advice to sponsors, Ian encourages a conservative approach, focusing on long-term survival and stability rather than short-term gains. His message is clear: in a market bracing for a potential massive repricing of assets and grappling with the implications of a high-interest rate environment, prudence is key. **** 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.

Real Estate Crowd Funding - Property Investing for the Masses In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the world of Real Estate Crowdfunding, where property investing becomes accessible to the masses. Discover how this innovative approach is transforming the real estate landscape.

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.

Fraud concerns are growing in connection with the Nightingale investment firm's handling of investor funds. We just reported on the disappearance of millions of dollars raised on the CrowdStreet platform for two Nightingale deals. And now, CrowdStreet is worried about the management of a Nightingale office tower in Chicago, which was also partially paid for by CrowdStreet investors.   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   In a previous podcast, we reported that Nightingale is accused of misappropriating more than $50 million that investors pumped into two high-end properties in Atlanta and Chicago. The deals never closed, and when the money went missing, CrowdStreet recommended the appointment of an independent manager. Shareholders agreed and hired Anna Phillips. She then placed the entities created for those deals into bankruptcy to help track down the money.   CrowdStreet Reviewing Nightingale Campaigns   Now CrowdStreet is taking a closer look at the Nightingale campaigns and wants to put Phillips in control of the Chicago property. That's after a request for audited financial records went unanswered.   But in this case, putting an independent manager in charge is more complicated because the Chicago office tower is an operating asset with equity investors who are not connected to CrowdStreet. There's also an ownership transfer to deal with and several loans.   Nightingale acquired the building in February of last year for $130 million. $25 million came from CrowdStreet investors. The rest came from other sources, including an $86 million mortgage from Citibank. CrowdStreet sponsors, like Nightingale, are expected to provide investor updates on a quarterly basis along with other information such as performance and distribution reports and annual tax documents.    In the first quarter report, which was reviewed by Bisnow, the entity's name was changed from Nightingale Realty LLC to Nite Sky Realty LLC. It reported that the building was about 91% occupied and aligned with the business plan but that the distribution couldn't be paid because three tenants were late on their rent. There was an apology for the delay, and a promise to provide a distribution date in the near future. It also said the building had about $10 million in reserves but there hasn't been another update since the mid-May report.   Issues Piling Up for Nightingale   One investor told Bisnow: “Where's that money? Is it still there?” CrowdStreet has told investors that it has hired a forensic accountant to review financial records that it received previously, around the time of the funding, and is talking to lawyers about how investors can wrestle control away from Nightingale. Although there's no evidence of fraud as yet, the issues are piling up for Nightingale.    Bisnow reports that Nightingale faces a growing number of lawsuits and debt defaults. It says that Nightingale lost a 2.2 million square foot property in Philadelphia to receivership, that Nightingale is facing foreclosure lawsuits for commercial buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and that it is sitting on one of the biggest vacant office buildings in New York City.   In the meantime, CrowdStreet is reassuring investors that it remains confident in its vetting process, and that escrow is now a requirement for deals that haven't closed. Ultimately, responsibility for due diligence lies with the investor. As I mentioned in a previous podcast, this is one reason that only accredited investors are allowed to invest in these kinds of deals – so they can afford to have legal and financial professionals review the documents. It's important that the deal is understood by the investor or someone on the investor's team.   This is why I've decided to create a master course on development, that will be helpful for both investors and developers. So many syndications require development of some kind, and it's important that investors understand how to analyze the deal. It's also going to be valuable for developers because the courses will be taught by my developer partners.

Some CrowdStreet investors are expressing disbelief, and rage, after learning that millions of dollars of their investment funds have gone missing! Investors pumped more than $60 million into two deals sponsored by Nightingale Properties on that platform, and Poof! The money has mysteriously disappeared!   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   As reported by Bisnow, Nightingale did a great job pitching the deals to CrowdStreet investors. One was Nightingale's purchase of the Atlanta Financial Center for $182 million, which represented a $78 million loss for the seller and instant equity for the buyers. The Real Deals reports that more than 650 investors clamored into that deal with $54 million. The other deal was the renovation of a Miami Beach office building that Nightingale already owned. It raised $9 million for that project.   Slick Marketings Pitch   Nightingale told investors that it has a stellar track record with more than 30 big deals that never lost money. And it enticed investors with what it described as a rare opportunity to invest in trophy-style real estate.   University marketing professor, Zhiyong Yang, invested 50K into Atlanta and told Bisnow that “they did a wonderful marketing job.” Investor, Mike Huber, says the news about the missing funds is mind-boggling. He has 150K in the project, and is now wondering, like other investors, how this could have happened.   Red Flags   Their worries began last August thanks to a Wall Street Journal article. The Journal reported that Nightingale had failed to tell investors about two previous deals that lost money, which would have tarnished the sterling reputation that Nightingale was selling.   Potential investor Ian Ippolito told Bisnow that he was initially interested and was partially sold on the pitch that Nightingale had never lost money. But then Ippolito, who writes a blog called The Real Estate Crowdfunding Review, decided to investigate further, and found that Nightingale's track record is not so sterling – that it had lost money in those two deals. He thought to himself: “There's something shady going on here. I'm not going near this deal.”   What Went Wrong?   Although CrowdStreet is just a platform, there are questions about where it went wrong in vetting Nightingale, and why it didn't do more to safeguard investor funds, which it collected. If you're not familiar with CrowdStreet, it attracts all kinds of independent real estate investors, from all walks of life. It was founded in 2014 but really took off during the pandemic, raising $1.2 billion from retail investors in 2021 alone.   CrowdStreet's CEO, Tore Steen, told Bisnow that he is “shocked and angered” by the Nightingale fiasco. He says: “This is not a crowdfunding issue. This was simple illegal behavior by a real estate developer. There were investors outside of the CrowdStreet platform that were involved here. Whether it's online or offline, fraud exists in this industry.”   Although Steen doesn't believe that the platform exposed investors to a higher risk of fraud, investors want to know why CrowdStreet handed the funds over to Nightingale instead of putting them into escrow.    Investors Blindsided   One investor told Bisnow: “It's surprising that CrowdStreet was not taking a more guardian role when the Wall Street Journal article came out.” The article did prompt some investors to ask for refunds, especially as the deals experienced more delays in closing. And some did get refunds, along with plenty of positive sounding communication from Nightingale, including Christmas cards.   One investor on the West Coast says: “They gave us the option to withdraw the funds. That gave me comfort. They do all those things to make you feel that they are super-legit. I was entirely blindsided.”   Nightingale ended up processing about $9 million in refunds, but Bisnow reports that the refund process wasn't consistent. CrowdStreet became concerned at that point, and requested bank statements and operating agreements for the two deals. Instead of producing those documents, Nightingale started communicating with CrowdStreet through an attorney, and CrowdStreet recommended that shareholders take on an independent manager for these two deals.   With a background in forensic accounting, former Cousins Properties executive, Anna Phillips, was chosen for that position. She told investors that it's not clear what Nightingale did with the funds but she did immediately see some irregularities, such as the transfer of $12 million into an account owned by Nightingale's CEO, Elie Schwartz, instead of an account managed by the company.  But even that policy is being questioned because investors thought that because the deals hadn't closed, the money would have gone into escrow.    Escrow for Unclosed Deals   CEO Steen said in a statement that: “Establishing an escrow process was one of many components of our transition to the broker model and something we have been working on for many months.” CrowdStreet has since incorporated an escrow process into its funding deals.   As to questions about the vetting of Nightingale, Bisnow reports that CrowdStreet had done a background check and received more than a half dozen references from well-known institutions like Citibank. These problems could be attributed to growing pains for CrowdStreet, but it is also a failure in due diligence by investors.   Accidents Waiting to Happen   According to investor Ippolito, some crowdfunding deals are “accidents waiting to happen,” which you could probably say about any kind of investment and that investors need to do more of their own research on sponsors. He says you wouldn't go to buy a car and trust everything the salesperson is going to tell you.    Investor Chris Honcik of Idaho told Bisnow: “I'm a little bit angry at CrowdStreet at not having vetted this a little bit better. I don't think I should be the person vetting Nightingale. But in the end, it all comes down to me. It's kind of my fault.”   At this point, almost all of the money is still missing and both Nightingale and CEO Schwartz have been accused of misappropriating funds. Phillips is hoping to track it down. She put both deals into Chapter 11 bankruptcy because the reorganization process will help her find out what happened.   Who's Responsible?   In the meantime, investors are taking it on the nose, not knowing if or when they'll get a refund, and CrowdStreet will continue to do damage control. CEO Steen said in an interview with Bisnow: “I really don't believe it has anything to do with the fact that it's crowdfunding. It has to do with the type of individual that chose to blatantly disregard the law and ethical behavior, and in this case, fiduciary responsibility.”    Here's my thoughts. Regardless of who's to blame, the funds are missing and may not be recovered. How can investors avoid this type of catastrophe in the future? 1. Verify and then trust. Yes, this is a twist to trust and then verify. Just because the deal was on a large crowdfunding platform like Crowdstreet does not mean the operators could be blindly trusted. Many real estate crowdfunding sites are just platforms for developers and syndicators to post their deals. Crowdstreet may or may not have performed due diligence, and it doesn't matter. If you are investing a few thousand dollars into a deal, maybe you don't need to research it fully as you can may be afford to lose the money. But if you are investing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, you absolutely must vet the sponsor and the deal. This is why only accredited investors are allowed to invest in these kinds of opportunities - because they can afford to have a CPA, attorney and underwriter review the documents and pro-forma. Someone on your team needs to understand the deal when investing that much money.  2. All investments have inherent risk. That's why they are investments, and not guaranteed. That is why you should diversify and not put too much money in any one deal. Even a well-underwritten deal can go sideways when there are challenges like a global pandemic that shut down the economy and caused supply chain issues, or interest rates tripling in a year. 3. Finally, make sure you know exactly where your money is going. Escrow accounts protect your money - at least in the sense that the escrow company will ensure that the funds go to the closing table.   You can find out more about how to invest responsibly as a RealWealth member.

Check it out below: Jamison Manwaring (00:00:00) - And someone in the front raised their hand and said, well, I got about $5,000 I'd like to invest. Could I do that in the preferred equity? And me and my partner, John, we looked at each other and we're like, well, that's not really how we're structuring this. We're you, you know, if it does, well, maybe you'd get 15%. If it doesn't do so, well, maybe you'd get three or 4% , right? And then somebody in the back of the room raised their hand and they said, well, actually, I would like to just do the preferred equity too. Can I do that? And it was kind of a light bulb moment.   Intro (00:00:29) - Welcome to the How to Scale commercial real Estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.   Sam Wilson (00:00:42) - Jamon Man Wearing is the co-founder, managing partner and c e o of Neighborhood Ventures. Jameson, welcome to the show.   Jamison Manwaring (00:00:48) - Hey, thanks for having me. Good to be here.   Sam Wilson (00:00:50) - Absolutely. Jamon. The pleasure is mine. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes to the show, and 90 seconds are last. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now, and how did you get there?   Jamison Manwaring (00:01:01) - Started at Goldman Sachs Equity Analyst. So I covered software and that's when I started investing, uh, in, in real estate. Um, I, I bought a building on the side that my dad's a real estate broker. He found a good, a good first deal for me, 10 unit building, multi-family building. Needed a lot of work. But I, uh, I wanted the experiment and I wanted the, wanted to see if I liked it. So, so did that for my first project. And where we're at now is now we, we've launched a company about five years ago, a a real estate developer, uh, is my, my partner. He's the real real estate guy. I'm the finance guy. We've done 15 projects so far. And then we also launched our fund, our reit, uh, earlier this year.   Sam Wilson (00:01:48) - That is a lot of moving pieces. I want to get into the history of some of that. At what point in time did you decide to go out on your own and do your own thing?   Jamison Manwaring (00:01:58) - Yeah, so I worked at Wall Street, uh, outta college. I wanted to be a, a trader on, uh, on the, the trading floor at a big investment bank. I did that, didn't like it. Uh, I did it for quite a while, ended up transitioning within the bank to a little bit of a different role that was more, uh, uh, research and, and valuation and really looking at, uh, companies and seeing what they were worth. But I don't like the roller coaster of equities. And I covered stocks that one day they would report earnings and they were up 30%. Next quarter, they're down 40% when they report earnings. And it was just up and down. So our, our clients in those, in, at, at that bank were large institutions, pension funds, mutual funds. They're more used to that volatility. But for me personally, it, it did not match my, my temperament.   Jamison Manwaring (00:02:49) - And I started saving some money and, uh, was looking for a piece of real estate. I knew I wanted to, to own something I could see and touch. So, uh, when I'm working at, uh, Goldman Sachs, I ended up, my dad found me this, uh, building near my hometown that was 2000 miles away from New York where I was working. But I ended up buying it. And, um, and that's really what gave me the, the first start. I mean, it took six months to get it up and running, so it made no money for a while. But I, I viewed it as more of a learning experience. And then, you know, the money started coming in, the checks started coming in and paying all the expenses. That was the first thing paying the mortgage. And then beyond that, started generating some, some cash flow for myself.   Sam Wilson (00:03:33) - That's really cool. I love, I love that. And then when did you, when did you launch neighborhood Ventures? Cause it sounds like you guys, you've been pretty busy here in the last   Jamison Manwaring (00:03:42) - Few years. Yeah, so that was what got my feet wet. And I knew I liked it, but I stayed in the, uh, investment side, uh, corporate investment side for about another three years. I, I moved to a company in, in Arizona, LifeLock and I, I had worked on their I P O when I was in New York. Uh, and I ran their investor relations. I had got to know the, the founder there and, and, uh, I was ready to get outta New York. So he, they offered me a job to run their investor relations. And, um, and then about 18 months later, we got bought out and I, I had the opportunity to kind of decide what would be next. And, uh, having that first experience that I really enjoyed, I, I like seeing kind of the transformation about a building that needed, needed work, but I could see the potential.   Jamison Manwaring (00:04:31) - And I guess I'm just one of those people that I enjoy seeing something come to life that, uh, that you, you, you see it, you see the potential, you make it happen. After I had done that, and then my company got bought out, I really wanted to do something in, I wanted to do more of those projects, and I knew I would need to start raising capital. And, uh, I met a guy who's now my, my business partner, and both of us were really intrigued around crowdfunding. We thought it could be a great way to bring in more people who have never been able to invest in apartments before that, that, you know, aren't wealthy. Um, people, people who were like ourselves and, and the families we grew up in where we didn't have a lot, but we worked hard and, and tried to save some. And with, with crowdfunding, it really opens it up to everybody. You could start with a few thousand dollars and invested in projects and follow those projects all the way through. So, um, we launched the company in 2017, and, uh, we've done 15, uh, crowdfunding projects so far   Sam Wilson (00:05:36) - That crowdfunding is, uh, I mean, not many people, I think in the larger, larger transaction, commercial real estate space, they're not willing to go there. Not willing to go there, both from just, I think the, the, the lack of understanding of completely how it works, and then also from a complexity standpoint. And also, I mean, uh, what's, what's your guys' minimum? What's your minimum investment?   Jamison Manwaring (00:06:03) - You know, we were thinking about maybe we do 10,000, maybe 5,000. We end up settling at a thousand. So we have a lot of people who just met, invested at the minimum, uh, on one of our projects, we have like 400 investors. So I can totally understand why someone would shy away from that, because that's, it's, it's kind of a whole different business when you have that many investors, right? That you have to really take care of them. We've, we've, we've made a big investment in our own software platform to manage all of that, right? And, um, you know, it, it, after we did our first project, I thought, this is not gonna work. Why, why, why, uh, why would we do this? It took us six months to raise a half a million. Um, and, and we identified our first project and we thought, okay, let's use this as kind of our beta test and let's see, see if there's a market here for, uh, smaller investors to, to raise, uh, you know, half a million dollars.   Jamison Manwaring (00:07:05) - So we thought maybe that would be, you know, 50 people or a a hundred people. And it took us, um, at three months in, we had raised 200,000. And we thought, okay, this is, this is gonna be really difficult because the seller was getting antsy. They wanted us to close. We, we were friends with the seller. So he said he'd give us a few months, but at that point, he said, you know this, you can raise this money a lot easier. Why, why are you doing it this way? Right. Um, and my, my co-founder and I, we, we set a, a rule. We said, we're not gonna call our our friends and fund this. We wanted to really see if we could do it with new, smaller investors. And so we wanted to see if there was a market here. And we ended up having to restructure our, our, our, uh, offering.   Jamison Manwaring (00:07:52) - You know, initially we were gonna do a waterfall. I don't know if some of the, the listeners and your yourself, I'm sure you're familiar with waterfalls, how they work with preferred equity, and then you get upside and, and they're very confusing to the average person. Mm-hmm. And that's what we found. Sure. And after we tried to, to do that for three months and couldn't get any traction, we ended up, we were actually sitting in a meeting with, um, a bunch of potential investors. And we had one larger investor who had said that they, they would fund, you know, a couple hundred thousand with a 10% preferred equity, and they would get preferred equity. And what preferred equity means is you get paid first. So it's a lower risk because the preferred equity holder gets that money, uh, before everyone else. Before, after that it, it's the next thing that gets paid.   Jamison Manwaring (00:08:43) - And we said, we had a big investor who was going to do that, and then we're trying to explain to this group of it was about a hundred people that after that person got paid, now then if the project did this, they might get this return. If it did this, get this return all in waterfall. And we're looking out, and someone in the front raised their hand and said, well, I got about $5,000 I'd like to invest. Could I do that in the preferred equity? And me and my partner, John, we looked at each other and we're like, well, that's not really how we're structuring this. We're you, you know, if it does, well, maybe you'd get 15%. If it doesn't do so, well, maybe you'd get three or 4% . Right?   Jamison Manwaring (00:09:18) - And then somebody in the back of the room raised their hand and they said, well, actually, I would like to just do the preferred equity too. Can I do that? And it was kind of a light bulb moment where we looked at each other, said, well, let, let's let us get back to you. Because we had been, we'd had a hard time raising our capital at that point. Yeah. So we ended up going and restructuring it and paying a 12% preferred return to our investors. Once we restructured it, we ended up selling it out in about a month. We raised half a million. And now the, the 14 projects we've done since then, all of our investors receive a 12% preferred return. And then if we can achieve more than that, then that's where our profit comes in. Uh, they're capped at 12%, but they're very comfortable with that. They're happy to get their 12% return.   Sam Wilson (00:10:07) - That's it. It's, there's 12%, you get 12%. Now it's, it's, it's preferred. Not guaranteed, but, so it's a 12% preferred return. And after that, they're done.   Jamison Manwaring (00:10:20) - And it's, it's, um, simple. Yeah. Because our investors don't do this. They, they're working their day job. They're, we have firemen, we have doctors, we have, uh, school teachers, and they, they wanna start, puts money away so they can just know 12% makes more sense, and it's a good return. And they get a lot of it along the way. As we start generating cash flow, they, they start getting that, you know, five, 6% a year, and then the other portion of the other 6% that they aren't getting, they get paid at the end when we sell. So they accrue that. And our projects are two or three years each, and then they get a big payout at the end. Um, we've had six of 'em go full cycle, and then the investors come back and reinvest. But yeah, that, that preferred really changed the game for us.   Jamison Manwaring (00:11:05) - But it was, it was a slog. You know, anytime you're trying to have somebody write a check, whether it's a thousand dollars or a hundred thousand dollars or a million, it's a process. You, it's a, you know, you're not, and and for us, we have to do that with two or 300 times with each investment, but it's gotten a lot easier. Now we're starting to get some momentum behind it because we have a track record. But, uh, there was a lot of times where I said, yeah, we need to, there's a lot of easier ways to do this.   Sam Wilson (00:11:33) - There are, man, there are, and hearing, hearing your story of a six month slog to a half a million dollar raise, uh, boy, that, that's, that's painful. Um, but I, I think obviously you knew this, you're onto something. You just, you just had to figure out how to make it work. I I, I didn't ever hear any like, all right, we're gonna throw in the towel and just, just quit.   Jamison Manwaring (00:11:53) - We, we knew going in that we were, we were really doing the first one to learn. Yeah. And, uh, and we had a long-term view, you know, if, if you're hustling and you gotta make a lot of money on this first deal, it, it makes it tough. It adds a lot of stress. So we just had a long-term view. We said, we wanna, we wanna see if there's a market here. The second deal we did two or three months later, it took us two months to raise 600,000. Cuz a lot of those investors had gone through the educational process and now they invested. Right. Our last deal, we just launched, uh, what, three weeks ago we hit our target raise in 10 hours. Right. . Um, and, and now we have a base of investors that we're growing, um, who, who continue to come back and invest with us. And now, now we, we can kind of see the, the beauty of the, of the business model.   Sam Wilson (00:12:41) - Right. And that, I mean, that's, that's a, uh, just a encouragement I think to anybody that's out there raising capital, especially newer, um, newer sponsors raising capital and just how difficult it can be in the beginning, like getting that momentum. It is, like you said, you know, you sold out in 10 hours. Like that's a very different experience than let's raise a half a million dollars in six months.   Jamison Manwaring (00:13:05) - Yeah. And, and uh, you know, it takes seeing a few deals go full cycle. Yeah. You, it, it is a, a, uh, you gotta have a long term view. You have have to have some patience, some delayed gratification. Mm-hmm. , but, you know, doing what you say, uh, and investors have a great experience with it, and they get to know you. They, they wanna keep doing it and, and, and coming back. So it is a, uh, that's the barrier to entry in the business is that first, you know, five deal, five, four or five deals in for several years to, to get it going. But there is light at the, at the tunnel, uh, as you get through it. Right.   Sam Wilson (00:13:44) - I like also the way you've simplified things that you said. It's very confusing for the average investor, the waterfall, uh, I get it at this point cause I've seen enough of the deals, but, but we've moved even to a model like that in our syndications where it's a preferred and we're, we're still not given just a straight, you know, 12% or whatever it is. We're still doing a split, but it's, it is a base split. It's like, here's the number and we're splitting this and we're done. And there's just no more like, okay, if then that statements that we're working through on a series of, you know, five pages long. I mean, I, I literally saw a deal deck came to me. The split profiles were like three pages of if we hit 18, then by that and with the X happens, then I was just like, this is   Jamison Manwaring (00:14:28) - Like, and, and, and you know, as an investor, because I was a, uh, an investor before I started doing it on the site, I was starting to look at deals and I couldn't even calculate it. And I'm a, I'm a Goldman Sachs equity analyst calculating all kinds of crazy stuff. And I, I was like, boy, how can I really get confidence around what my return's gonna be? Yeah. Cause it was so complicated. , right?   Sam Wilson (00:14:53) - Oh man. And the confused mind says no. Right,   Jamison Manwaring (00:14:56) - Right. That's the, that's the default. If I can't understand this, then it's a no,   Sam Wilson (00:15:00) - Then it's a no, then it's a no. Tell me this, you, you mentioned, uh, software managing this many, this many investors for a smaller sum of money. How does that become cost effective?   Jamison Manwaring (00:15:16) - Yeah, it's a, you, you'll find out quick if you get over, I don't know, 20 investors that you, you have to get off of Excel and, uh, you know, and, and, uh, whatever you're doing at your desktop, uh, software to manage that. And you have to figure out a better way to, to uh, uh, work with them. And, and most investors, you know, it adds some credibility to, if they can log into something and see what it all looks like. Yep. So we initially used a, uh, a software as a service, uh, a kind of out of the box software, the white label. Yep. And then we were able to put our name on it and, and that cost us a couple grand a month. And, uh, and then we realized, uh, that that got us off the ground. And that's great because it wasn't a big investment for us.   Jamison Manwaring (00:16:06) - Right. And there's those platforms out there. This one was called Crowd Engine cuz we were doing crowdfunding. But there's others for, uh, sponsors that might have more like 30 or 30 to a hundred investors or, or that that can work real well. Um, uh, Juniper Square, I think is another one. Mm-hmm. . Um, uh, but I, I think that's an important thing today is, is allowing people to log in to see, see what they do. And then we, last year we ended up building out our own platform, which was a significant investment. And now we have a full-time programmer on our staff that, to manage it, to keep pushing it. But that, that's our business model. We're a, we're a part tech company because we're crowdfunding. We do a ton of marketing, we do a ton of content because we gotta talk to a lot of people. We gotta keep broadening our audience. We want, we wanna hit, you know, um, a hundred thousand investors in five years mm-hmm. . So we're, we're growing that way. Um, uh, and, and so we've put a lot of resources behind it. So it's a little different, uh, for, than, than the traditional syndicator. But I do think that software is important.   Sam Wilson (00:17:13) - Yeah. No, absolutely. Absolutely. It sounds like you have a pension for not, I'm not gonna say difficult things, but, but figuring out going places that most people probably just don't want to go. I mean, does that kind of get you going where it's like, okay, this is really complicated. I gotta figure out how to do it.   Jamison Manwaring (00:17:31) - I, you, you're reading, you know, me too well and my business partner, it's the same way. Sometimes it gets us in trouble. It's like, we should have just done the easy way . Uh, but, um, you do learn a lot through the hard way. Right. And then you can default, you can say, okay, that wasn't worth it. Right. But, you know, it does make it kind of fun. And, and we actually, when we started the business, both he and I, we didn't, we didn't need to start the business. We, we could have done other things, but we wanted to go try something new. We wanted do something novel, um, unique. And that's kind of driven everything else we've done because we're not afraid to shy or sh we're not sh shy at jumping into something that seems difficult. Um, if if no one else is doing it, it might be an opportunity. And that's, that's kind of how we've approached it.   Sam Wilson (00:18:18) - I would imagine you mentioned the, um, marketing side of crowdfunding. I mean, there's got to be, there's got to be, uh, a robust, uh, plan and budget probably in place if you're thinking about crowdfunding, which I am not. But if any, any listeners are thinking about this, I'm just guessing here, maybe you can fill in the blanks cause I've never done it, but a robust, uh, marketing plan and then marketing budget in order to launch a crowdfunding investment. Yeah.   Jamison Manwaring (00:18:49) - If, um, you, you, I don't know if anyone's heard or or you've heard about stories on Kickstarter where, you know, they, they have a, a new invention they're gonna, they're gonna put on Kickstarter and that, that was really what crowdfunding came from. And you think, you know, the old adage, if you build it, they will come, um, if I put my, this new widget on Kickstarter, all of a sudden everyone's gonna flood the gates and invest. And the reality is that, um, you have to do a ton of marketing behind, behind that. Uh, and you know, if you're gonna get, uh, if you need to get a hundred investors at 5,000 each, you, you have to talk to, uh, several thousand people that actually listen to you and go through the whole thing. You, you can't, you know, not just, I'm not just saying put a, an ad out on Facebook or Instagram or something, but it, you really have to engage several thousand people Wow.   Jamison Manwaring (00:19:45) - To get that many investors, uh, whether that's Kickstarter and a widget, or whether it's a real estate project. And one platform I would recommend is small change. Uh, it's a company out of, uh, Pittsburgh, but they're basically Kickstarter for real estate projects. So you could put a project on there. You don't have to have the software. They have all of it, right. Uh, they, they charge a, a, you know, a fee, 6%, something like that, of, of what you raise. But they, but you could put it on there. And they work with the s e c, they're rig CF platform. And, uh, and it's, and you can put your offering there, there, but the problem is once it's there, they do have an audience, you know, several thousand people who follow them. But you basically have to do a lot of the heavy lifting to get people there and invest. But I think it's a great place to start. Um, and, and, uh, small change.dot, uh, co is their, their website. Um, and, uh, and then you have to decide, okay, how are we gonna market this? How are we going to find people to invest in it and get creative about how to do that? And you have to be a marketer on that side of it,   Sam Wilson (00:20:54) - Right? Yeah. And that's, uh, that's the other half of this business. And I love the way you've partnered up there with your apartment developer side of the business that handles that. And I think that's, that's an often overlooked aspect is that Yeah, this is a lot of what we do is marketing. I mean, this podcast is marketing. It really is. And it's, it's just, it's just the, the part of it that's oftentimes overlooked as we in real estate want to be real estate people doing a b buying apartment complex as well. Half of the business is marketing. So   Jamison Manwaring (00:21:26) - Yeah. And because there's a lot to that business in and of itself. Yeah. I mean, you gotta, you gotta be good at a lot of things here for me, I know I'm not that good at multiple things. Right. Um, so I have a business partner who's really the construction guy, the real estate guy. Our property managers report to him, our construction crew reports to him, he finds our deals. Um, and then he says, I don't really wanna talk to investors. You got that right. And, you know, I, and I, he, he, he's not looking at the month in books, uh, to send out to investor. I'm doing all of that. So we've, we've split that up because there's a, there's a lot to it. There really is.   Sam Wilson (00:22:04) - There sure is. And we are almost out of time here. I want to, I do want to get one Since, since, since you love complicated things. You've done crowdfunding, you've built your owned, uh, backend portal for all of your, your now thousands of probably investors on a crowdfunding side of things. You just launched a reit. Tell me the kind of in maybe 60 seconds, if you can, uh, the thought process behind it, and much like you found with the 12% preferred return to your investors, what, what was it that was in the market that people were saying, Hey, we want a REIT that does X So you decide to create that. What was that kind of, uh, inspiration for that?   Jamison Manwaring (00:22:44) - As our projects went full cycle and we sold them, we had a lot of investors that said, whoa, whoa, why are you selling that building? We really like that location. We would've loved to stayed in it, but we structured it to be a two or three year hold period so everyone would get liquidity, including us. So we had to do that for a while. But we realized that we had built up an, a base of investors that would love to be invested with us more long term. And so now, uh, with, with the launch of the re part of the reason was that we can take some of these projects that we renovate and we reposition and instead of sell them to a a third party, we, the REIT buys out the equity almost like, uh, it's called a, like an upreit. So folks that are in the project can convert and roll their, their proceeds over to the reit.   Jamison Manwaring (00:23:36) - And now the REIT holds that project. And we knew that we had a lot of investors who would be interested in doing that cuz they like our project, they like the returns. Um, and then, uh, the, the second thing for us is it provides a bit more stable business longer term because now, you know, we're not just doing deals, but we're, we're building a fund. The REIT doesn't have a an end date. It's gonna work in perpetuity. And so, you know, we collect a management fee on that and then we, we, we get 80% of our upside to the investors as those assets held in the re go up in value. Investors get 80% of that and we're only gonna take 20%. So for an investor that's actually really attractive that they can invest in stabilize cash, money, assets, and as those things go up in value, they're gonna get a a, a good p piece of that.   Jamison Manwaring (00:24:29) - Um, so there was, it was kind of the maturation of our business. It just kind of took us to that place where that was the next right thing and it's, you know, it's, we're doing it as crowdfunding as well. So we we're gonna need about 10,000 investors in our reit. Wow. Um, and we have, uh, three, four years to do that. So the REIT will be open fundraise for that period of time. And uh, and it took us about nine months to, to create the reit. We had to work with our legal team and the s e C had to qualify it before we could launch it. So it was kind of its own own thing. When you work with non-accredited investors like we do through crowdfunding, it is much more compliant, uh, compliance route, uh, is involved because the, there's all these protections for those folks so they don't lose their money. If you're working with accredited investors, wealthy investors, it is a lot easier to do a re to do a fund right. To, to li to raise money. But we, we, uh, with the non-accredited folks that there's a lot of complaints involved.   Sam Wilson (00:25:34) - Boy, I can only imagine that there is there. I I like the way you're thinking about that. It's almost like an internal recap, uh, with, with the REIT as opposed to maybe doing an, an institutional recap on your projects. You're recapping it with your own investor base, which I think is brilliant. Cause I think on the institutional side, they're, those splits on those recaps are often 90 10. So I mean, it's kind of a, it's an even better deal maybe for you guys but also for your investors cuz they, they already know and like the deals that you're involved in. So it's very, very cool. We are absolutely out of time, which is a disappointment cuz I've enjoyed this conversation thoroughly. I've got about 500 more questions for you, but we don't have time for it either way. Jameson of our listeners wanna get in touch with you and learn more about you. What is the best way to do that?   Jamison Manwaring (00:26:13) - Uh, go to our YouTube channel. If you just type in Neighborhood Ventures and YouTube, we put out a lot of content there. Our website is Easy neighborhood.ventures and, uh, I'd, I'd invite you to follow our content. If you never plan on investing, that's fine. I think you'll learn, learn from what we do. We go do a lot of behind the scenes stuff and I, and we have fun with it. We, uh, uh, also have a podcast, kiss my assets, uh, try to have fun with it. So, uh, follow our stuff. We'd love to have anyone, uh, uh, follow along.   Sam Wilson (00:26:43) - Awesome.

Devin: What do you think of as your superpower?Eve: My superpower is when someone says “no” to me, that just makes me go harder. Seriously, I have incredible stick-to-it-iveness. My superpower is endurance.Eve Picker, CEO of the regulated real estate investment crowdfunding portal Small Change, has put the shoe on the other foot. She's raising money for Small Change on Wefunder. (Full disclosure: I've already committed funds to Small Change.)Meet Small Change“Small Change is a real estate crowdfunding portal, which means that we are registered with the SEC and members of FINRA, and we can use a pretty new securities rule called Regulation Crowdfunding, which permits anyone who's 18 and over to invest,” Eve says.“We focus on real estate projects with impact—with a mission,” she says. “Small change is amazing because we're tackling projects that I think will make cities better in so many different ways.”The impact goes beyond the obvious, she says:What I love about what we've done and what's happened over the last couple of years is that not only are we supporting projects in disinvested neighborhoods and building net zero buildings and things like that, but we have had a groundswell of emerging developers come to us, and at this point, we have almost 60 percent of our developers or issuers are minority and or women, which I think is staggering given the very old white boy club that the real estate industry is.The projects on Small Change are also profitable. “The projects that have gone full cycle that raise money with us have averaged about a 12 and a half percent internal rate of return, which is a great record,” Eve says.Raising Capital on WefunderIt seems odd for a company to raise capital with a business that could be considered a competitor. It feels a bit like a Chevy dealer selling brand-new Ford trucks.Eve explains the regulatory environment that requires this practice. “The reason we're raising money on Wefunder and not on our own platform is that under Regulation Crowdfunding, we can't have an interest in any project that is on our platform.”That prohibits a portal from offering shares on its owned portal. Small Change isn't the first, nor will it be the last, to raise money using a competitor's site.Unlike crowdfunding sites like GoFundMe that collect donations, or sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo that pre-sell creative content and other innovations, regulated investment crowdfunding sites sell investments. Many structures are used, from debt to equity, with hybrid solutions like convertible debt being common. Simple Agreements for Future Equity are often used, too.Regardless of the instrument used, the entrepreneur or business raising money is issuing an instrument designed and intended to provide a financial return. Small Change Project ExampleSmall Change has hosted a variety of projects across the country since Eve launched the site. She shared a profile of a pair of developers in Oregon raising money on Small Change today.I hope some bankers are listening. We have two gentlemen who are black, who have purchased a building in Portland, Oregon. They are world-class artists. One of them works for a sports franchise and designs their uniforms and does other work. The other is an astounding photographer who has had clients like National Geographic and Fortune 500 companies.They decided that they wanted to create a creative hub in downtown Portland. With the help of a seasoned developer, they found a building and purchased it. The purpose of it is to create a meeting place for other people who look like them. They say they really have nowhere else to go, and they want to create a place where they can have gallery shows, where they can play music, where they can have rental studios for people so that there's a little hub of activity for people who— at the moment—don't have anywhere to congregate. What almost makes me want to cry is when they talk to me about how difficult it's been for them to find a bank loan. I don't want to believe it's racism. But on the other hand, I have to believe it's racism because they've been to a dozen banks with a very professional-looking business plan which had their images in it. Once they took the images out, the bank started talking to them.Eve's seen it before from her own experience as a developer before launching Small Change—providing some motivation for it.As a woman developer, I go back in my mind over my career, and what I encountered. No one ever said to me, “I'm not going to lend you the money because you're a woman.” But I am certain that I was stopped in many ways because I am a woman. And I'm certain that many minorities are treated the same way.Crowdfunding is different. By enabling people to raise money from their own community, underrepresented entrepreneurs see greater success. “Crowdfunding at least provides a place where people are thinking a little more equitably—a lot more equitably. Certainly, the statistics in Crowdfunding are quite different than in the VC world or the real estate world,” Eve says.Still, she points out, the crowdfunding space is a tiny part of new venture and real estate finance. That underlines the long-term potential for growth.In her work, Eve leverages her superpower of endurance.How to Develop Endurance As a SuperpowerEve is proving the power of endurance for both financial success and impact. She says, “I have developed very strong ideas about who I am and how I think the world should be, and it's very difficult for me to pull myself away from that. This is sort of part of my DNA.”“I dot my Is and cross my Ts,” Eve says. “So when I do a project like Small Change, I've thought it through.”She shared an experience from her time developing real estate to make the point.For example, I built a loft building in downtown Pittsburgh; it was actually the first loft in downtown Pittsburgh. At the time, I was really stunned when a banker told me, “Oh, honey, no one's going to live downtown.” I thought, “What have you been reading? This is not rocket science. All over the world, people are moving downtown.”I must have looked to him like a crazy person. To me, it seemed absolutely sensible. So, if someone says to me, “No, you can't do this,” and I've really thought it through, I'm going to dig in.That story highlights a critical insight for developing similar endurance. She says, “If I'd listened to all the no's, then none of this would have happened.” Regarding the naysayers, she says, “Another superpower I have is not listening to people, which some might think is bad, but I think is actually good.”In other words, her take on the old saying that “people who say it can't be done should stop interrupting those who are busy doing it” would be “people who are busy doing it should not be distracted by people saying it can't be done.”By following Eve's advice and example, you can develop endurance as a superpower, enabling you to do more good in the world.

Historically EU crowdfunding platforms lagged behind other regions in the world making it difficult for start-ups and other small innovative companies to access initial seed funding. But that is going to change since a single set of rules will cover the whole EU. And to capitalize on this change in Lithuania and abroad is Viktorija Cijunskyte, founder and CEO of Profitus. It wasn't that long ago when Viktorija jumped into the real estate profession and placed flyers on doors looking to promote her services. While everyone said that wouldn't work, it did and soon every other realtor began copying her. And when she had to do cold calls, something that would make her cry because she hated doing them, she would tape pictures of things she wanted to buy near her computer to give her motivation and make her continuously pick up her phone. This is a fun conversation with a very talented and driven entrepreneur who went on to create her own real estate agency, turn partner in an investment firm, and now expanding her real estate investment platform. Did I mention she is also a kite surfer?For the Innovators Can Laugh newsletter in your inbox every week, subscribe at https://innovatorscanlaugh.substack.comPrevious guests include: Arvid Kahl of FeedbackPanda, Andrei Zinkevich of FullFunnel, Scott Van den Berg of Influencer Capital, Buster Franken of Fruitpunch AI, Valentin Radu of Omniconvert, Evelina Necula of Kinderpedia, Ionut Vlad of Tokinomo, Diana Florescu of MediaforGrowth, Irina Obushtarova of Recursive, Monika Paule of Caszyme, Yannick Veys of Hypefury, Laura Erdem of Dreamdata, and Pija Indriunaite of CityBee.
