From a young age, movies, role models, and society teach boys that emotions are not masculine and that we need to “man up.” However, these harmful ways of approaching emotion can lead men to struggle with mental health throughout their lives.

I’m extremely excited for you to hear Jonathan discuss his journey with mental health and how he is using his passion for real estate to build a legacy and bring awareness to a cause that is dear to him.

Jonathan Cattani is the founder and managing partner of Cattani Capital Group. With over 5 years of experience in real estate and finance, Jonathan brings a unique approach to the CCG investment strategy and an understanding of why alternative investments are creating true wealth.

In today’s episode, we discuss…

• What is the Fund-to-funds model and how it works.

• Why Jonathan’s first real estate deal was a land entitlement.

• Why Jonathan is passionate about destigmatizing men’s mental health and how we possibly came up with the name for his future non-profit!

• How Jonathan is planning to raise $10m in his first year as a capital raiser.

• What is an accredited investor and do you qualify as one?

If you want to hear the inspiring story of how Jonathan got started in real estate, or you want to hear Jonathan and I come up with the name for his future non-profit in this very episode, you got to tune in!

Keep Making Milestones,

Ben Malech

Have you ever told yourself, “I am too young to start investing in real estate” or “I don’t have enough experience to close a deal?”

There was a point in my past when I used these kinds of limiting beliefs as excuses for not taking action toward accomplishing my goal of closing my first real estate deal. However, when I first heard the Donis Brother’s story, I knew I had no excuse for postponing my dreams!

On this super fun episode of Real Estate Milestones, Jeffrey, Kenneth, and Kerwin show us how if you focus on educating yourself and developing meaningful connections with experts in your field, it is never too early to pursue your passion.

The Donis Brothers are a dream team of apartment investors who have invested in over 600 units while in their early 20s! They are the Co-Founders of Donis Investment Group and the Hosts of the Real Estate Monopoly podcast. The brothers grew up in a low-income household, but their motivation to create financial freedom for their mother inspired them to defy the odds.

In this episode, we discuss…

• How visiting their less fortunate cousins in Guatemala changed the brother’s outlook on life and led them to strengthen their commitment to creating a better life for their family.

• How they went from wholesaling single-family houses to investing in apartment complexes while still in college.

• Why they plan to use blockchain technology to democratize real estate and provide younger and less wealthy people with access to wealth-building real estate investments.

If you want to learn how you can begin your real estate journey no matter your circumstance or if just need a fresh jolt of inspiration, this episode is for you!

Keep Making Milestones,

Most of us are taught from a young age that the only way to invest is to “buy low, sell high.” However, it probably didn’t take you very long to realize that it’s tough to predict when an investment’s value will rise or fall.
