Today we’re going to discuss one of the greatest threats not only to real estate investors, but to everyone who lives in areas with rising sea levels, frequent hurricanes, forest fires, draughts and intense heat. Yes, I’m talking about climate change. Whether you believe it’s real or not doesn’t matter. Because its already affecting every single person who lives in this country. But for real estate investors there are areas that will actually benefit from climate change – areas that have plenty of fresh water and are considered to be climate havens – areas like Michigan. My guest today is Lindsay Moore, an economic reporter for MLive who covers the housing markets across Michigan. Lindsay and her colleague Sheri McWhirter have been writing an excellent series on the affect climate migration will have on Michigan, and whether or not we’re ready for the influx of new residents we’ll be experiencing over the coming decades.

EP370 What He’s Learned From Millionaires and Billionaires That Helped Him Close Over $500 Million in Deals with Richard C Wilson
My guest today is a true thought leader when it comes to raising capital from high net-worth and ultra high net worth investors. His book “Capital Raising” is the best book I’ve ever listened to on the subject, and his material on pitch decks is an absolute game changer. Richard C. Wilson was last on the show in 2019, episode #184, and I’d highly recommend listening again to that conversation. Since then, Richard has purchased the domain for Billionaires.com where he’s interviewing 100 billionaires. He’s also added a shark from Shark Tank to his team, closed on over $500 million in deals, started over 200 family offices, and hosted 185 live events through FamilyOffices.com Today Richard shares the different deal and tax-advantaged structures he’s employed with his family offices and high net-worth investors, why he’s focused on his short-term rental and medical office funds, what he’s learned from the billionaires he’s interviewed, the missteps he’s made along the way and the mistakes he sometimes sees other capital raisers making.
