About Igor Shaltanov
A former pro athlete, Igor transitioned from Southern Californian entrepreneurship to multifamily investing. He started by acquiring single units of real estate and self-managing these properties. However, managing all of the units on his own became increasingly burdensome and labor-intensive.
Recognizing that this approach was not scalable, he pivoted towards larger apartment buildings with over 100 units. This shift opened up opportunities for retail investors, ultimately leading to the launch of the Avista Fund which he cofounded with Nikita.

About Brian Davis
G. Brian Davis is a real estate investor, personal finance writer, and co-founder of SparkRental.com with over two decades in the real estate and finance industries. He owns an interest in over 2,000 units, adding more each month in a form of dollar cost averaging. In addition to hosting the Live Off Rents podcast, Brian regularly contributes as a real estate and personal finance expert for BiggerPockets, Inman, Best Ever Real Estate, R.E.tipster and more.
Brian started his career working for a hard money lender, and saw firsthand how investing can build wealth and passive income. He started buying rental properties (albeit without knowing what he was doing), and gradually learned how to do it better.
Today Brian invests passively, going in with other investors on fractional property deals through a real estate investment club. He leaves direct ownership to people who want a real estate side hustle. Along with his wife and daughter, Brian spends most of the year overseas living by his own rules. He loves hiking, cooking, travel, scuba diving, and occasionally surfing (badly). Most of all, he loves showing others how they too can create their ideal lives through investing and lifestyle design.
