In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Nate Shields and Troy Zimmerman of Missional Capital Group to discuss how betting on yourself can be the key to real estate success. Nate and Troy share how they built a real estate investment company rooted in purpose, ethical principles, and social responsibility. They explore how aligning financial prosperity with a mission-driven approach can create a lasting impact, not just for investors but for communities as well.
Jonathan chats with Nate and Troy about the roadblocks Troy faced as a financial advisor, the power of relationships in real estate, and why betting on yourself is crucial. Nate and Troy also dive into the value of having multiple income streams beyond syndications, their decision to focus on Alabama’s market, and how they find off-market deals. They highlight the benefits of holding a real estate license as an investor and the role of meetups in building a strong network.
Jonathan, Nate, and Troy expound more upon:
- Troy and Nate wanted to create an investment opportunity for their clients to access real estate investments. Troy faced compliance restrictions as a financial advisor but launched Missional Capital Group alongside Nate last year to acquire and manage commercial, multifamily, and retail assets.
- They focus more on location-based opportunities and seek out newer, well-maintained properties that provide consistent cash flow.
- Troy and Nate stress in-person networking, hosting meetups, and cultivating strong connections with property managers and other industry professionals in real estate.
- If new investors have capital, Nate and Troy recommend considering the syndication model as a hands-off approach.
Nate Shields and Troy Zimmerman are impacting the syndication world and bringing others on their passive real estate investing mission.
