Episode #229: Aleksey Chernobelskiy: What to Know as a Limited Partner
What does it mean to vet a real estate deal as a limited partner? In this episode of The Real Estate Investor Podcast, host Gary Lipsky welcomes Aleksey Chernobelskiy, Principal at Centrio Capital Partners and Founder of GP-LP Match. Aleksey previously ran Store Capital’s lucrative real estate portfolio and underwriting team before shifting his focus to educating and advocating for limited partners (LPs). Through his daily posts, newsletter, and investing partner platform, he helps LPs avoid costly mistakes and spot opportunities others miss. During the conversation, Aleksey explains the difference between REITs and funds and how return profiles compare across REITs, funds, and syndications. Discover why the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) metric is flawed, Aleksey’s “three pillars” of LP investing, why investors should vet General Partners (GPs), and the biggest mistakes to avoid.
