265: Licensed to Raise Capital and Create Passive Income with Greg Lyons
Even in uncertain economic times like the ones we’re living in, people will always pay for three things: food, clothing, and shelter. What does this mean for you? It’s simple: right now, multifamily real estate is still one of the safest assets you can invest in.
Today’s guest, Greg Lyons, knows this as well as anyone. He and his brother are licensed capital raisers through their company, Cityside Capital. He also has his own podcast, Passive Income Brothers, where he focuses on how people can become passive real estate investors.
In our conversation, you’ll learn what it takes to raise capital for multifamily and self-storage deals. You’ll also learn how he became a licensed capital raiser and what kind of opportunities he’s been able to create for himself.
We then discuss the 77-unit condo project in Boise that Greg built half of at the right time–and what happened when he built the other half at the exact wrong time.
