Lance is the Founder and Managing Partner of Verivest, an end-to-end real estate investment platform designed to bring transparency and trust to middle-market investing, and a Principal in Fairway America, a real estate private equity firm in Portland, Oregon.

Mike Coen of Procida Funding manages Procida’s 100 Mile Fund, an open-ended private investment vehicle focused on deals within a 100 mile radius of New York City. As a highly data-driven team, Procida lets the numbers drive the nature of its portfolio—Lance and Mike talk about how this flexible approach helps mitigate risk. Mike preaches his team’s laser focus on local markets, and why after 40 years, this also allows Procida key advantages in mitigating risk. (The proof has come in the form of consistent returns). Mike and Lance discuss Procida’s hands-on, collaborative process to dealmaking, their approach to using leverage, and the importance of day-to-day management of the assets.
