Manage episode 315269206 series 2994834
We hardly hear about retail shopping centers. Why? Because it’s always about multifamily. In an industry where everybody’s into multifamily, we can only wonder how someone can possibly get disillusioned with multifamily investing. In this episode of Wealth Science Podcast, Anthony Pinto shares his life as an active duty real estate investor, how retail shopping centers become eCommerce proof, why you should invest in community-scale retail centers, the common challenges for incoming investors, what investors do not look into when linking with potential partners, and so much more.
Why invest in retail shopping centers? Find out in this episode of Wealth Science with guest Anthony Pinto!
The Life of a Retail Shopping Center Investor
Being a real estate investor in and of itself requires genuine hard work. But, for Anthony, an active duty who invests all the way from Japan, it is levels and levels higher. During his early years as an investor, Anthony focused heavily on multifamily deals. His first-ever property was a quad under a VA loan. Now, he advocates and invests in small-scale retail shopping centers at the community level of different localities. So how does an active duty submarine officer do it?
Most of the time that people spend doing deals in America, Anthony spends sleeping. Because of this, communication is a challenge. To go above the problem, Anthony puts in tremendous willpower to adjust his lifestyle and keep these deals rolling. He wakes up four-thirty in the morning, spends hours from five to seven to attend calls, then leaves for his actual W-2 in the navy for another eight hours of work. Life is hectic, Anthony admits. But why does he do it? For him, it goes back to “if not me, then who?”
