Brian Luftman can best be characterized as an entrepreneur. Born and raised in Lexington, KY, Brian moved to Chicago to pursue his dream of being a floor trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. He ended up buying a seat on the exchange and trading commodity options for 10 years. During that time, he founded Luftrade, which specialized in cattle, corn, soybean and wheat options.
While he still does invest in traditional real estate, in 2011, Luftman founded American Farm Investors in his hometown of Lexington, KY. AFI is a full service farmland investment company in Lexington, KY, specializing in profitable farmland investments.
You may have also seen one of Brian’s projects, “Bourbon Hous” which is a large newly renovated party Airbnb while driving down South Broadway.
We talk a lot about traditional real estate investing on this podcast, but Brian brings a different perspective in this episode by talking about farmland Investments, Airbnb/short term rentals, and being a member of the Bluegrass Angel Investment group.
