On the 24th Episode of The High-Performance CEO Podcast, our special guest is Patrick Grimes, CEO and Founder of Invest on Main Street.

Patrick shares that his company is known for providing non-correlated and recession-resilient investment opportunities with tax advantages such as inflation hedging, accelerated appreciation and decreased taxation. The benefits of these investments include potentially retiring early and creating a legacy for heirs.

There are often management and legal liabilities when dealing with real estate investments, however, multi-family, single family, and affordable housing investments offer cash flow and inflation hedging, and oil and gas investments can be seen as a viable option due to investors such as Warren Buffet and Elon Musk. There is also an increased usage of innovative approaches such as 3D imaging, satellite imagery, and machine learning to analyze hundreds of real estate deals and find lucrative opportunities, as well as the potential to diversify investments with the launch of an affordable housing fund.
