On the Affordable Housing & Real Estate Investing Podcast, the best podcast for affordable housing investments hosted by Kent Fai He, today’s conversation is genuinely one of my favorites. 

I sit down with Trevor Fay, founder of KOPA and one of the trustees responsible for helping oversee more than 80 billion dollars at the Los Angeles County Employee Retirement Association. This episode is about ownership, access, and giving everyday people a real shot at building wealth.

When I met Trevor, I felt like he was speaking the truth that so many families feel in their gut. Home prices went up. Wages didn’t. People worked hard, did everything they were told, and still ended up feeling like they were falling behind. Trevor breaks that down in a way that makes the whole system make sense. Then he lays out a new path forward.

I love this episode because Trevor shows you how ownership changes people. When people feel like they have a stake in their neighborhood or their country, the whole way they show up shifts. That’s the heart of affordable housing and impact investing. It’s about giving people the chance to build something that matters for their family.

I believe that if we can increase ownership for more people, we can change families, neighborhoods, and cities. Trevor breaks down exactly how that can happen and how each of us can take the next step.

Why This Episode Matters for Real Estate Investors and Developers... we break down: 

• Why assets took off starting around 1979.
• Why the middle class feels squeezed.
• Why more people feel disconnected, lonely, or stuck.
• Why renters feel trapped and buyers feel behind.
• Why developers are building into a system that rewards existing owners more than new entrants.
• How do large financial institutions evaluate opportunities, fund managers / sponsors, and risk so you can apply that towards your own decisions

Common questions this episode answers

 1. Why has it become so hard for the average person to build wealth through real estate?
 2. What is the ownership crisis and why did it start around 1979?
 3. Why do home prices grow faster than wages and what can be done about it?
 4. How do you evaluate a good investment without getting lost in the noise?
 5. How do large pension funds think about risk, returns, and cash flow?
 6. What can small real estate investors learn from how billion dollar funds make decisions?
 7. How does KOPA help people invest in income producing assets around the world?

If more people understood ownership the way Trevor explains it, our cities ... and frankly the world would look completely different.
