Today we celebrate the closing of our newest acquisition, a 35 unit apartment in southern Minnesota. In addition, we cover some of the most important basics for those interested in raising capital for real estate. We break down the fundamentals of what investors actually want to know before they commit their money. From understanding the difference between equity and debt to navigating basic securities rules, structuring deals correctly, and building trust without a long track record, this conversation offers a clear, practical roadmap for anyone looking to scale through other people’s capital. We also cover how to find and attract the right investors, present deals with confidence, avoid common capital raising mistakes, and build long-term investor relationships that lead to repeat capital and sustainable growth. Whether you’re preparing for your first raise or refining your approach, this episode delivers actionable insights you can apply immediately.

In this episode, we sit down with Kevin Shtofman, a seasoned corporate development leader and AI-driven real estate innovator who serves as the Global Head of Corporate Development at Cheere, a data management company building AI agents exclusively for the real estate industry. With over $3.4 trillion in real estate assets flowing through a patented knowledge-graph-powered platform, he shares how enterprise-level AI is transforming property data, decision-making, and investment strategy. Drawing on experience as a C-suite software executive, he unpacks how he’s leveraged AI to build a profitable “one-person” real estate business, the data he uses for free versus what he pays for, real-world AI use cases, and the hard-earned lessons and pitfalls from deploying AI agents over the past 18 months. An accomplished investor, advisor, and global speaker, he offers candid insights on the non-linear path to financial freedom, leadership at scale, and the future of AI in real estate.
