Income Investing With Alexis Assadi

NOTE: This podcast was discontinued in 2018. Thank you for listening. *************** Income Investing With Alexis Assadi is a podcast that explores income and dividend-producing assets. We cover everything from REITs, investment funds, p2p lending, mortgage lending, credit instruments, dividend stocks, tax lien certificates, real estate, crowdfunding and more. The show emphasizes monthly cash flow, but it also includes investments that pay quarterly. In addition, Income Investing dives into related subjects, such as government policy and economics. For example, mortgage funds are a common income investment (Ep.27) and will often invest in "Fannie Mae" bonds. But what is Fannie Mae? What is Freddie Mac? Didn't they play a role in the 2008 economic meltdown? Episode 28 provides the answers to those questions! The podcast aims to help income-oriented investors make more informed choices by delivering high-quality information. Published every Wednesday, Income Investing is hosted by Alexis Assadi. Alexis is an entrepreneur and investor who operates a financing company that provide funding to real estate operators and business owners. He appreciates investing for cash flow because of its various benefits. These can include: 1. They can be beneficial in daily life because you can use the dividends to supplement your "regular" income. 2. Many of these investments can appreciate in value in addition to producing revenue. 3. There is diversity because income producing investments can be found across sectors. 4. Many of them trade on the stock market and can be purchased for under a few hundred dollars.

We discuss companies that are formed for a single purpose: to acquire real estate. These are becoming increasingly available to retail investors in the private placement market.
