E178 Denis Shapiro - Building a Cash-Flowing Portfolio Through Traditional and Alternative Real Estate Investing

Denis Shapiro began investing in real estate in 2012, when the market was just beginning to recover from the GFC (Global Financial Crisis). He built a cash flowing portfolio including many alternative assets, such as Note and ATM funds, mobile home parks, life insurance policies, tech start-ups, industrial property, short-term rentals and more. He co-founded an investment club for accredited investors in 2019. Following the success of his investor club he launched SIHCapital Group.

• Denis’ experience of trying one failed income strategy after another
