  • 00:50 - Introducing Michael, the founder of Red Fox Capital and Red Fox Wealth
    • 01:05 - They are a commercial real estate investment and development company as well as a full-service wealth management company
    • 02:15 - He learned the inside by working at Merrill Lynch for a couple of years; he couldn’t talk about real estate because it wasn’t a product
    • 03:35 - REITs (Real Estate Investment Trust) operate like stocks, they fluctuate with the stock market
    • 04:15 - He wrote a book called The Real Perspective: Secret Investments Your Financial Advisor Won’t Tell You About and published it 
    • 04:30 - They now talk to clients about private investments and created integrated portfolio management to control private investments that they can offer clients
  • 05:45 - Commercial real estate
    • 06:55 - The things that Amazon can’t control are going to be good for commercial real estate investing; dry cleaners, nail salons, etc. 
    • 07:20 - He’s also looking at Dollar General stores; they keep cost and prices in line with cheap building costs and prefabricated solutions
    • 09:00 - Predictions for business districts: D.C. is protected because of government money but NYC is losing tenants every day
    • 10:10 - There might need to be tax incentives to get people back into cities; there are also mixed-use solutions that are possible

    • 15:15 - They sold it to an investment group and that group made another $2 Million; he never knew the opportunity was there
    • 16:30 - He started working the industrial market and had a blast; Amazon has taken over and is pushing industrial users out of their areas
    • 16:55 - Ecommerce is really making an impact on industrial space; they need space and will go anywhere
    • 17:35 - Data centers are also taking over
  • 18:15 - Michael’s take on the 1031 Tax-Free Exchange
    • 18:30 - We are in the lowest tax bracket this country will see in a long time
    • 18:50 - There are two options for the country: Stop spending or raise taxes
    • 19:05 - There’s a short time frame to find another property and many clients get hasty and make more than a 15% capital gains tax mistake on the property
    • 19:30 - He wants people to take a step back to make sure the 1031 is their best option
  • 20:10 - The best way to reach Michael (and get your free copy of his book!): email him at mikebrown1757@gmail.com
