Podcasts about secured

Christian Osgood is a real estate investor, educator, and host of the Multifamily Strategy podcast and YouTube channel. After starting his career in sales and acquiring a few rentals using the Dave Ramsey method, he made a strategic leap into multifamily through creative financing. Today, Christian owns over 300 units, operates a property management company, and helps others achieve financial independence through value-driven, relationship-based investing.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Apartment Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways: Christian scaled from owning duplexes to 300+ units in under five years by mastering creative finance. He focuses on building authentic relationships with property owners rather than cold prospecting or marketing. His strategy centers on two questions: “How do I buy it?” and “How do I never lose it?” Raising capital becomes simple when you bring a strong deal, a smart structure, and clear alignment with investor interests. JV deals and seller financing often offer more flexibility and alignment than traditional syndications.     Topics: From Dave Ramsey to Real Estate Freedom Started with a goal to retire his wife, transitioned from two duplexes to over 300 units. Emphasized holding properties long-term by ensuring they cash flow from day one. Avoids dependence on future sales for profitability. How a 38-Unit Seller-Financed Deal Changed Everything Acquired a distressed property listed for 12 years by offering a six-month no-payment period. Secured seller financing at 4% with a $300K down payment, raised from new connections. Repaired collections and operations, appraised at $4.1M within 11 months. Used refinance to cash out investors and retain full ownership. Deal, Debt, Equity: A Simple Capital-Raising Framework Christian emphasizes a “deal-first” approach: find the opportunity, secure the financing, then raise the remaining equity. Capital is easier to raise when you're solving problems for both the seller and investor. Transparent communication and downside protection build trust and drive investment. Joint Ventures vs. Syndication Joint ventures allow for more creative structures, faster execution, and clear alignment of roles. Syndication is not wrong—just often unnecessary for small to midsize deals with fewer partners. The Power of Relationships in Real Estate Christian meets with owners weekly for coffee instead of cold calling. His best deals and investor connections come from these low-pressure conversations. Many owners eventually offer to finance their entire portfolios after seeing his track record and integrity. Lessons from a $4.5M “Shiny Object” Mistake Bought a resort early in his journey that didn't align with his strengths or goals. Learned the importance of sticking to your lane and clarifying your business identity.

Interview with Paul Atherley, Chairman of Pensana PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/pensana-pre-confident-funding-is-imminent-2582Recording date: 28th March 2025Pensana PLC, chaired by Paul Atherley, has secured financing to begin construction on one of the world's largest undeveloped rare earth projects in Angola. The project will process 20,000 tons initially, eventually scaling to 40,000 tons, placing it in the same league as industry leaders Lynas and MP Materials.The financing package comes from three key institutions: Angola's sovereign wealth fund (FSDA), Absa Bank from South Africa, and the African Finance Corporation. The structure consists of approximately 60% debt and 40% equity spread across these institutions. The equity component is expected to be drawn down within weeks, while the debt documentation will take 6-9 months to finalize.What distinguishes Pensana's approach is its focus on creating a non-Chinese rare earth supply chain. Rather than simply mining and exporting raw materials to China, the company plans to produce a mixed rare earth carbonate (MRE), a midstream product that can be processed further outside China. The company is in discussions with potential partners who have separation capacity outside China, which Atherley describes as "a very important step" in creating an independent global supply chain.The Longonjo project contains over 100,000 tons of valuable neodymium and praseodymium in its top 30 meters, with an exceptionally low strip ratio of 0.2:1, indicating efficient mining potential. Technical validation has been completed through extensive testing at laboratories in Western Australia, confirming the quality of their product.Construction is now beginning, with first production targeted for the end of 2026, followed by a six-month ramp-up period to reach full production in 2027. The financing will dilute Pensana's ownership from 84% to 70% initially, with potential further dilution to 52% if certain mezzanine financing is not refinanced.Atherley sees significant growth potential as the company is "building a project at the bottom of the rare earth price cycle," contrasting their current $100 million market cap with Lynas at $4 billion. He highlights future demand drivers including electric vehicles, wind turbines, and emerging technologies like humanoid robotics.As Atherley notes, "It's an electric future based on electromagnetics and we will be a producer going into that rising thematic."View Pensana's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/pensana-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Justin Reid, President & CEO of Troilus GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/troilus-gold-tsxtlg-binding-lois-change-everything-6626Recording date: 14th March 2025 Troilus Gold stands at an inflection point as it advances its flagship copper-gold project in Northern Quebec toward production. With a recently secured $700 million debt financing package and gold prices reaching $3,000 per ounce, the company represents a compelling investment opportunity in the precious metals sector. The Troilus project boasts impressive scale and economics, including a 22+ year mine life producing over 350,000 gold equivalent ounces annually, an after-tax NPV of $3 billion, and potential for $350 million in annual free cash flow.Troilus has systematically addressed key developmental risks, creating a clear pathway to production. With $700 million in debt secured with favorable terms, permitting in final review stages, and an experienced development team assembled, the company has positioned itself for success. Pre-construction activities include detailed engineering with BBA (engineers behind Detour and Malartic) and active site preparation including pit dewatering.Management has crafted a sophisticated financing approach that minimizes dilution while ensuring adequate funding. Using a 70-30 debt-to-equity structure on the $1 billion capital requirement, finalizing offtake agreements for concentrate sales, and strategically positioning to monetize a new royalty or stream for up to $400 million, Troilus has created multiple funding options beyond traditional equity raises.With a current market capitalization of approximately $165 million against an after-tax NPV of $3 billion, Troilus presents a compelling valuation opportunity. CEO Justin Reid draws comparisons to similar-stage peers that have seen significant revaluation upon financing completion. Several macroeconomic factors further enhance the investment case, including rising gold prices, global copper concentrate shortages, the expanding margins created by Canadian dollar weakness, and increasing focus on secure critical minerals supply chains.The next 12 months present several potential catalysts that could drive revaluation, including finalization of offtake agreements, completion of royalty/stream financing, financial close on the debt package, final permitting approvals, and ultimately a construction decision. As Troilus Gold transitions from developer to producer, investors have a rare opportunity to participate in a gold-copper project that combines scale, economics, jurisdictional advantages, and strategic relevance in today's commodity environment.—Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/troilus-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Early Bird Tickets Here: https://shorturl.at/1VQ1j In this match reaction video, Wolfie breaks down Nottingham Forest's dominant 4-2 victory over Ipswich Town, a crucial result in their pursuit of Champions League football. Forest produced a strong performance, with two goals from Elanga, a goal from Milenkovic, and a late strike from substitute Jota, securing a comfortable win against relegation-threatened Ipswich. Despite the challenge posed by Ipswich, Forest's attacking power and solid display were enough to come away with all three points. Wolfie dives into what this win means for Forest's ambitions as they head into the international break. With the team continuing to deliver results, the dream of qualifying for the Champions League is well and truly alive. Forest's recent form and the favourable results around them in the league have them firmly on track to secure a top-five finish, a feat that seemed far-fetched earlier in the season. As the season reaches its final stretch, this victory is a massive confidence boost for Nuno's side. With a clear path toward European football, Forest fans have plenty to be excited about. Wolfie also shares his thoughts on what's next for the team as they prepare for the challenges ahead.

A Distinguished Police Officer's Journey to SaiMr H J Dora is a former Director General of Police, Andhra Pradesh and former Vigilance Commissioner, Government of India. He joined the Indian Police Service in 1965, and around this time, he had his first darshan of Bhagawan too. In the very first interview, Swami told him repeatedly, “I will take care of you”.After that, every assignment in his professional life or developments in his personal life were all directly guided by Swami. He became a chosen instrument in His hands to serve the Sai mission in various roles. In this Satsang he shares how Bhagawan gave him opportunities to serve Him during the inauguration of the college at Anantapur, the time when the institute got the ‘Deemed University' status, or making arrangements for big events like Birthday celebrations and so on. As we hear him, we get a glimpse of the unbounded compassion of Bhagawan that he was privileged to witness at close quarters.
