Movies about Wall Street always seem to depict it as morally corrupt. They forget to tell another important part of the experience – the valuable business lessons a life “on the Street” can offer.

Paul Dircks lived that Wall Street life for 20 years. Now the newest member of Cityside Capital is sharing his unique journey of becoming an active and passive real estate investor. Paul emphasizes the importance of diversification in investment portfolios and the value of networking and learning from others.

Greg and Tim discuss the power of refinancing in real estate investing. They share their experiences with two successful investments: a multifamily property in Sarasota, Florida, and a retail center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Both properties underwent refinancing, which allowed the brothers to return a significant portion of the original investment to their investors, tax-free. 

This process, known as the velocity of money, allows investors to reinvest their returns into other deals, thereby increasing their wealth.
