Show Notes
Today’s episode is a solo one. I have put together a presentation to discuss the current real estate market trends, strategies, and opportunities for 2018. I will be posting my slideshow for this episode later on, so stay tuned for that.
I cover some basic terms and popular strategies that every investor should know. If this is your introduction to Tempo Fund Management, my name is Mike Zlotnick. I am the host of the Big Mike Fund Podcast and I am the fund manager at Tempo Fund Management. I will go into more detail about our business and our investment philosophy during my presentation. So, if you are thinking about exploring the real estate market this year, this episode is a great primer.
