The Allocator: A New Way to Finance Real Estate

Laura Ericson, my podcast guest today, used to be the power behind the thrown of GowerCrowd, helping me manage just about everything we did. But Laura had a dream and her dream was to be her own boss and to travel the world for a living. So one day, she jumped ship and went full time to build her group travel business so she could live the life she wanted; make a living travelling the world, and being in charge of her own fate while doing what she loved the most.

Today's conversation is a celebration of Laura's tenacity, dedication, and courage to pursue what she wants in life and as an example to all that taking a few risks, while uncomfortable at first, can change your life for the better. Check out this podcast for an inspirational journey that will transport you into the New Year with the confidence that, if you put your mind to it, anything is possible.

Glenn Mueller, Academic Director, Family Office Real Estate Institute

I interviewed Prof. Mueller a few years ago when I first got into podcasting and it was then that I discovered his Market Cycle Report. In today's episode, you are going to hear him going through his analysis of where the commercial real estate markets stand today, and learn his predictions of where they will be through the rest of the year.

Glenn reviews the state of the market by both asset class and location so whether you are a sponsor looking for buying opportunities or an investor looking at syndications to invest in, this podcast lays out the roadmap for the year ahead.

The podcast is a video podcast so I recommend you watch rather than just listen as the professor uses graphics from his report to walk us through the data. It's well worth the effort to watch.
