Business
In the current real estate climate, it’s tough to find deals. This is why today’s guest, Matt Faircloth believes that if your company already owns a good piece of real estate, why would you go and sell it? Matt feels it’s better to refinance that property, replace some investor equity if they want to get out, and just continue to recapitalize. Matt has been a full-time real estate investor for 15 years. In that time, he has successfully completed projects involving dozens of fix and flips, office buildings, single-family homes, and apartment buildings. He has amassed a portfolio of over 1,000 units and has raised tens of millions in equity for these real estate projects from passive investors. Apart from creating content for his YouTube channel, he is also the author of the Amazon bestselling book, Raising Private Capital: Building Your Real Estate Empire Using Other People's Money.
