  • EP 104 | How to Invest Confidently During Uncertain Times with Neal Bawa

    Join Seth Bradley and Neal Bawa in this episode of the Passive Income Attorney Podcast as they chat about how data science can help you predict the future and prevent you from losing all your capital during this uncertain economic landscape. Neal will share his expert insight into identifying extraordinary investment opportunities, even during turbulent times. Enjoy the episode!

     

    Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in this episode:

    • Combining data science with Real Estate
  • How to be successful at many things
  • Are we in a recession? The debate continues on
  • Analysis of the last six recessions and how this one shapes up
  • Where smart investors should place their capital during uncertain times
  • How to multiply your wealth during a recession
  • The “Super Value Add” concept
  •  

    ABOUT | NEAL BAWA:

     

    Neal Bawa is CEO / Founder at UGro and Grocapitus, two commercial real estate investment companies. Neal’s companies use cutting-edge real estate analytics technology to source and acquire OR build large Commercial properties across the U.S., for nearly 700 investors. The current portfolio is over 4,800 units, with an AUM value (upon completion) of over $1 Billion.

     

    Neal shares his team’s unique and cutting-edge real estate data methodologies to connect with geeky and nerdy (or just data-driven) investors who share his vision - That Data beats gut feel by a million miles. Over 10,000 real estate investors have taken his free Real Estate Data Analytics course on udemy.com and the course has over 1000 five-star reviews.

     

    Neal speaks at dozens of real estate conferences across the country and virtually, on the Internet. Over 5,000 investors attend his multifamily webinar series each year and hundreds have attended his Magic of Multifamily boot camps. His Facebook and meetup groups have tens of thousands of investors.

     

    Neal believes that we are at a turning point, where traditional commercial real estate will combine with Proptech and Fintech technology disruptors, and will truly reach its potential as a tradable, highly liquid asset class that will rival and eventually beat the stock market in its size and scope. He also believes that the Build-to-rent will become a much larger and more profitable part of the Multifamily asset class over the next 5 years, due to its uniquely desirable characteristics. Neal’s vision is to combine the Build-to-rent asset class with blockchain tokenization to democratize commercial real estate.

We’ll give you the knowledge and tools you need to confidently diversify your portfolio by removing all the borders. Enjoy the episode!

    “Realize that when you focus on your life, on your family, and your finances, that’s going to give you the best long-term return.”

    HIGHLIGHTS:

    Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in this episode:

    • How Billy went from growing up in Ohio to living in Barcelona, Spain
  • Three major events that changed Billy’s life and led him to alternative investments
  • Challenges and differences between investing actively in small multifamily vs. passively in large multifamily

  •  

    ABOUT | BILLY KEELS:

    During his corporate career, Billy put his leadership and relationship-building skills to good use to help clients get to the root of issues that were holding them back from full success. Billy earned his stripes as a true problem-solver, a skill he carried into his new entrepreneurial life.

    What made him popular with employers who sent him across the globe to meet with Fortune 500-level clients is the same thing that makes him popular with investors, buyers and sellers in real estate today… his skills in coming up with real solutions that work in the real world for real people!

    Billy says that he was happy enough in his JOB, but something was missing. An emptiness and longing for a different life chewed on him, pulling him to what he knew he wanted to do more than anything else. Billy wanted to be an entrepreneur who brought two worlds together. He wanted to give individuals where he lives the chance to invest in properties on US soil.

    So he took steps and kept on the path to his goals. KeePon Cashflow is the result of his efforts.

    Today Billy is an international real estate entrepreneur, problem-solver, author, coach and mentor. He sees opportunities where others often don’t in real estate.

    No “overnight success,” Billy continues to work toward his vision and goals. Topmost on his list? To build a bridge between investors and buyers in Europe with sellers in the US.
