  • 179: Revolutionizing Real Estate Investment Fund Creation with Matthew Burk

    In this segment, we speak with Matt Burk, CEO of Fairway America and The VeryVest LLC, about the launch of their new tool, Fund Builder.

    Matt explains that the tool automates the process of creating pooled investment funds, offering advice and guidance on all aspects of running a real estate-based investment fund. He notes that, historically, people have turned to lawyers to set up funds, but their advisory service offers greater value as it brings advice on all aspects of fund management, including legal, accounting, origination, acquisitions, asset management, capital raising, and investor relations. The administration business of Fairway America came after the advisory business.

    Fund Builder is designed to streamline the process of setting up investment funds, making it less expensive, less time-consuming, and more accessible. Burk mentions that their advisory component is still in place, but Fund Builder automates the process and makes it quicker.

  • 178: The Brewer Method: Turning Seller Leads into Six Figures with Eric Brewer

    In this episode, we interview Eric Brewer — founder of the Brewer Method™, a real estate investment strategy that can help investors turn seller leads into an extra six figures per year.

    As a real estate investor, Eric Brewer always had an eye for lucrative deals. He was constantly searching for new ways to gain an edge over his competitors and maximize profits. After years of experience, Eric developed a unique method that allowed him to offer more for a property than anyone else, avoid costly expenses, and have multiple options for selling it.

    The Brewer Method™ is all about offering more for a property than your competitors are and avoiding significant expenses. Eric Brewer teaches investors how to negotiate effectively with sellers, how to structure deals creatively, and how to use the right tools to find the best properties.
