Today, Zain is an accomplished investor, a Partner at Blue Feed Capital, the host of PropTechVC, and the owner of Zain Ventures. Zain shares what his business does, the challenges he had to overcome, and how he figured out the secret sauce to his operations. We also talk about how Zain pivoted from focusing on his gaming app to diversifying his portfolio with real estate investments, something that required a lot of learning from his end. Our interview with Zain is a jam-packed story of his experiences in startup and real estate investing. Let's learn how Zain learned to let go of his biggest startup, transitioned into real estate, and built his ventures from scratch. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Doing something different is sometimes the best way to introduce a business to the world. 2. Diversifying your portfolio is one of the most effective ways to safeguard your wealth if something goes wrong with your primary source of income. 3. You must start sourcing and delegating at certain levels of your business. 4. Being intelligent in one field can be beneficial when you transition into another area of business.

There are two different types of investments that you can make, but it can be tough to decide which one is right for you. Startup investments are typically characterized by high risk and low return, and they don't have any assets or cash flow to speak of. On the other, Real estate investments are based on properties that have already been built and are generating income from rents or sales proceeds (or both). You can make money from both types of investments. This episode explores the differences between startup investments and real estate, and we'll help you understand the pros and cons of each to decide which option is best for you.

I've often talked about the kinds of people you need to surround yourself with and your connections to build a thriving, profitable real estate portfolio. But I probably haven't discussed the tools and technologies you can offer your business partners, teammates, and employees to the same degree. There are several solutions you can use to create more cash flow, provide fewer concessions, increase property value, and make things safer for your teams–and if you're wondering where to start, you can start with this episode. I'm thrilled to be talking to Zain Jaffer. Zain is a serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and real estate investor. He's a partner at Blue Field Capital, the Founder and CEO of Zain Ventures, and is the PropTech VC and host of the PropTech VC Podcast. Before breaking into real estate, he also built an ad tech platform called Vungle and sold it to Blackstone for $780 million! I know you'll enjoy this conversation as you'll hear all about his journey from founding his first company at the age of 14 to his $780M exit. He shares the industry-specific tech tools he uses (that you can use, too!) to make your life in real estate easier, and who will (and won't) win deals in these tough economic times. Key Takeaways with Zain Jaffer What Zain sees happening in the real estate market in the next 3 to 6 months and what he's most excited about in the short term. How the current economic downturn and panic selling affect commercial and residential real estate. Why Zain is all in on Deep Sentinel, Stake.Rent, and Canopy Analytics. How Zain founded his first company at 14, used his exit to start building his real estate portfolio, and achieved success by under promising and over delivering. The three technologies that Zain uses in his company that can help you too. Why entrepreneurs should choose to make less money today to ensure they'll stay in business forever.
