Betting on yourself first is often the key to creating a real impact on your real estate investing journey.
On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes guests Nate Shields and Troy Zimmerman from Missional Capital Group. Missional Capital Group is a real estate investment company that believes financial success should be driven by purpose and ethical principles. Nate and Troy’s journey began with a simple yet powerful vision to create a platform that aligns financial prosperity with social responsibility.

You’ll hear how they met, the block Troy had as a financial advisor, how Nate and Troy overcame it to form Missional Capital Group, and why relationships are important to real estate transactions. Nate and Troy explain the importance of betting on yourself first, having income streams outside of syndication investments, and how they decided syndications are a good investment using the strategies they developed for investing. Finally, Nate and Troy share how they chose their market in Alabama, their primary source for finding off-market deals, the benefits of holding a real estate license as an investor, and how meetups can be a great way to connect to other investors.
