E244: REAL Assets and Real Relationships with Russell Gray the Financial Strategist of The Real Estate Guys Podcast
Today, let’s talk about real assets and real relationships, Wall Street investing versus Main Street investing, and the concept of syndications with Russel Gray.
Real estate is a real asset. It’s as tangible and physical as gold, oil, and other things people use and depend on in the real world. On the other hand, owning a share of stocks, bonds, or mutual funds are claims on wealth, but they’re not real wealth. So, invest in essential things to build a resilient real asset portfolio. And if you want to scale faster, invest in real people and unlock private capital.

Key Points from This Episode:
- Russel defines real assets.
- Real estate is tangible.
- Stocks, bonds, or mutual funds are claims on wealth but they aren’t real wealth.
- When times are tough economically, investors must focus on things that are real and essential.
- Housing combined with leveraged debt is the foundation of a resilient real asset portfolio.
- Russel talks about an instance when he lost control of his debt which resulted in losing control of the real estate.

- Main Street investing is more personal. It has a small-town feel.
- Russel talks about the syndication business.
- When you create a syndication business, pick your advisory team well, even if you have to pay more.
- The syndication business is in dire need of ethical competent operators.
- People think it’s hard to go big. But it’s actually hard to be small. When you’re small, you don’t have economies of scale.
- The market is so big, there’s plenty of room for everyone.
- Russel explains the concept of syndication.
- In Wall Street investing, Wall Street funnels down the money to Main Street by originating loans.

“Anybody can do this (podcasting). I mean, I don’t have a college degree. I’m a firefighter. I’m not even a computer guy. So, you know, anybody can do this. It’s just getting the education.

About Joshua Oak
Joshua’s current investment portfolio includes partnerships in a 12-unit apartment complex and 5 single-family homes. The 12-unit complex deal took creativity to put together and formed a $20,000 personal loan from Josh’s coworker to pull it off! It is a fantastic deal and has provided Josh cash flow every month and solidified his desire to be financially free with real estate. He also owns 5 single-family homes as a 50% partner. These houses were his ‘foot in the door’ to real estate investing.
Josh loves real estate. He got his real estate license in 2017. His current strategy includes working on a cash-out refinance on the five houses and trying to save as much money as possible to take advantage of any opportunities that are about to present themselves, given the current state of the economy. His future goals include working on syndications or partnerships for larger investments, gaining experience with podcasting, and expanding his network.
