In this episode, Craig and I are joined by James McCabe to discuss his creation of the Placement Fund. We explore the fund’s structure, investment strategy, and the critical role of risk management in today’s market. We also discuss the challenges of raising capital, the value of offering fixed returns, and the impact of fluctuating interest rates.

Emphasizing a conservative investment approach, we highlight the importance of stability and long-term growth over high-risk opportunities. The discussion also touches on the multifamily sector, relationship-building, lessons learned from past deals, and the significance of hiring the right people for business success. Additionally, we share insights on balancing work with family life, offering personal growth advice, and outlining future aspirations for the Placement Fund.
