Anthony Cazazian | Renters Warehouse Real estate investing goals: “My goal is to help investors achieve their goals of financial freedom through real estate.”
Biggest real estate “win” so far: “Getting involved in the single-family rental sector early in 2013 while the asset class was just beginning to become more institutionalized. Since then, I have helped two companies that service the asset class through lending and property management, [including] helping build the largest corporate-owned SFR property management company in the U.S.” Why real estate? “Single-family rentals offer many advantages over other investments, such as monthly cash flow, tax benefits, ability to leverage, diversification, downturn protection, inflation hedge, and many more.” Brett Crosby | PeerStreet Real estate business philosophy: “I believe in putting all the chips on the table to invent and rethink entire industries. I enjoy the challenge of applying technology, analytics, and innovation in different ways than they’ve been applied before.” Biggest real estate “win” so far: “That PeerStreet has become what I believe is and will continue to be a stable, long-term capital source for lenders and an investment platform for investors of all sizes to access real estate debt.” Why real estate? “To conceive new ways of transforming the core of the industry in a way that is beneficial to participants and society as a whole. Outside of my main career at PeerStreet, I enjoy developing personal real estate projects with my wife.” MULTIFAMILY INVESTOR OF THE YEAR: An investor excelling in the multifamily sector using any strategy related to multifamily real estate. This includes but is not limited to apartments, condominiums, cohousing, duplexes and larger multiunit investments, townhouses, and other intentional multifamily communities.

Why do you invest in real estate? “Real estate is a time-proven investment vehicle that can be leveraged in creative manners to earn exponential growth, which leads to time freedom and financial freedom. Plus, it gives me the opportunity to be a blessing to many by providing housing, work space, and jobs.” Biggest real estate “win” so far: “My biggest win has been learning that to create exponential growth you need five things: good self-esteem, self confidence in your business, positive life and business philosophy, [ability to] take massive, skilled action with
adjustments, and a time-proven mentor and team.”
