1957: Demography Affects Real Estate, Income Property - Low Tech Asset Class, Supply Chain & Massive Worldwide Inflation, Neal Bawa Part 1
02/06/23 • 31 min
Greetings from the "Land of the Rising Sun!" Today, Jason welcomes you all from Niseko, Japan! It's fitting that Jason and Neal talk about demographic collapse while visiting Japan because Japan is facing a drastic population decline.
A very big thank you as well to all who attended the Empowered Investor LIVE conference! And to all who missed it and/or want to have the video recordings, we will have those recordings available to you in about a week, so please stay tuned. You can purchased all of the event recordings HERE.
And today Jason welcomes the 'mad scientist of multifamily' Neal Bawa of Grocapitus investments. They talk about how demography affects real estate, where the housing market is and where it might be headed and the factors affecting your investments. Neal is a technologist who is universally known in the real estate circles as the Mad Scientist of Multifamily. Besides being one of the most in-demand speakers in commercial real estate, Neal is a data guru, a process freak, and an outsourcing expert.
Neal treats his $1+ billion-dollar multifamily portfolio as an ongoing experiment in efficiency and optimization. The Mad Scientist lives by two mantras. His first mantra is that: We can only manage what we can measure. His second mantra is that: Data beats gut feel by a million miles. These mantras and a dozen other disruptive beliefs drive profit for his 800+ investors.

1958: Housing Inventory Shortage, Shifting Demographics, Booming Middle Class, Deglobalization of Trade, Transportation As A Service (TaaS), Neal Bawa Part 2
Jason is still in Japan with gently falling snow as his backdrop. And today, if you are expecting a housing market crash, don't hold your breath! Jason references Mike of Altos Research showing how inventory is very low and the trend is not changing anytime soon!
Jason also finishes his interview with Neal Bawa, 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 over 800 investors. Current portfolio over 4800 units, with an AUM value (upon completion) of over $1 Billion.
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 it's 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 fractionalization to democratize commercial real estate.
