Today, we're excited to bring you an insightful interview with the distinguished Chairman and CEO of Lloyd Jones, Chris Finlay. His unique journey from being an Eastern Airlines pilot to mastering the intricacies of the real estate sector is nothing short of inspiring. Influenced by his father-in-law, Chris made his first investment in an avocado grove in South Florida, marking the start of his illustrious career in real estate.In 1980, Chris established his commercial real estate brokerage firm, which eventually evolved into a successful multifamily and senior housing investment company. Despite starting in a smaller market, Chris managed to overcome challenges through his innovative three-part business model, enabling his firm to serve as an asset manager for the FDIC.The strategic shift towards investing rather than building in 2010, and the golden opportunity presented by the post-Covid market to pivot to senior housing, is testament to Chris's forward-thinking approach. This interview offers valuable insights into these strategic decisions, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in real estate investment trends.The conversation also delves into the complexities of transitioning to the senior living asset class, with a special focus on operations. Chris shares his unique perspective on the rise of the millennial demographic and why senior housing requires more operational attention than multi-family properties. He emphasizes the importance of recruiting top talent in this asset class, providing invaluable advice for passive investors navigating the current market.Ready to connect with Chris Finlay and tap into his wealth of real estate knowledge?
