In the latest episode of The Realtor Nation Podcast, Ian Hoover sits down with Josh Adamek, President and Investment Manager for Adamek Ventures, Inc.!Josh has a strong investment background in the Pittsburgh market. Since the inception of his investment career at the age of 21, Josh has been a principal in more than 100 residential and commercial real estate transaction with a market value in excess of $20,000,000. What made this possible for Josh is the safe, secure use and leverage of private and institutional investor capital. A true testament to Josh’s values and business sense is that through all of these transactions he and his companies have never, ever missed a payment or targeted return for their investors and almost every investor has chosen to reinvest when given the opportunity. As Adamek would say, “It sometimes take years, if not decades to build relationships and credibility. Minutes, if not seconds to destroy them.”In addition to his work with Adamek Ventures and his other company, Synergy Capital, Inc., Josh volunteers his time serving as President on the board of directors for Acre of Pittsburgh. Acre is a real estate investors association with more than 400 active members and has been around since the early 80’s. Acre’s purpose is to develop and support responsible real estate investing through networking, training and education.Along with being an active board member, Josh was asked to start teaching investment classes and workshops through Acre of Pittsburgh. He began doing so but only as an opportunity to give back to the group and other organizations. Rather than accepting payment for these classes, Josh chose to run the events as fundraisers donating all net proceeds to Glimmer of Hope, a Pittsburgh based breast cancer foundation.This episode is filled with information from two highly successful entrepreneurs!
