Investor Connect - 531 - Bradford Shepherd of Sugarhouse Investments

May 7, 2021

In this episode, Hall welcomes Bradford Shepherd, Managing Partner at Sugarhouse Investments.

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Sugarhouse Investments is a real estate private equity firm that provides investors with passive investment opportunities in institutional-quality commercial real estate and they help fund cash-flowing commercial real estate projects to move them forward. Together they build long-term wealth and passive income streams.

The deals they fund preserve capital investments, collect consistent cash flow and build equity through future capital appreciation of the assets.

Real estate investing has been part of Brad’s life since his college days. He earned his undergraduate degree in Finance with an eye towards commercial real estate, interning with one of the premier large commercial property portfolio companies in the Northwest. He purchased his first rental property within months of graduating college and quickly added several more. 

His experience includes management of hotel and vacation properties, development of retail and hospitality space, and raising capital from both domestic and international investors. He's been exclusively focused on capital raising for commercial syndications since 2017. Brad and his young family have called Austin home since 2011.

Brad discusses the state of real estate investing and how he sees the industry evolving. He also shares his investment thesis and some of the challenges investors face.
