Brent always wanted to be a real estate rockstar. That’s why as soon as he graduated high school, he began attending real estate seminars, got licensed at 21, and also bought his rentals. With some challenges in finances, he joined the Army in 2009 while keeping his rentals and house hacking right along the side. In 2016 he heard about LAND on a podcast and got hooked to it as his main hustle in the industry, eventually achieving success on it. Now an Army veteran, he’s more focused on growing even bigger in real estate with land as his area of expertise through his company, Land Sharks. Sharing his success with the business community, he also coaches in seminars and provides insights through podcasts and various social media platforms.

Stony has over 47 years of experience in the real estate industry and is a CCIM designated commercial real estate professional.

Stony became Lennon’s first investor outside of his family and friends.

On today’s show, you will learn the easiest way to start building capital:

• With your family and friends who know you and trust you

The goal is to help investors find financial freedom through passive investing investing in commercial real estate. You need to understand their investment goals and they need to understand the risks. Sponsors in a deal should focus on what the investors are seeking, and might seek an acquisition fee, or a percentage of ongoing revenue, or a disposition fee at the end when it is sold. There are many variations to help investors and sponsors make the right investment.
