Hello, I'm Eduardo Sigal. Welcome to The Signet Podcast, where you get the opportunity to learn from the experiences of family owned real estate companies and other professionals geared towards helping you make the right decisions for your investment goals.So you might ask yourself, why should I listen to this show? As in everything in life, decisions are what make our path to success or to failure. Unfortunately, there's a ton of information available that is in complete contradiction to what many successful investors actually do. This includes how to operate your investments when thinking about your personal financial needs and your family's future. On top of that, in today's world of instant returns, many crowdfunding platforms favor high return short length deals. This is usually at the cost of much bigger risk. The real estate crowdfunding market is growing fast. It's on its road to being a $300 billion industry and is bringing in more investors than ever before. This is due to big changes in regulatory restrictions. Here's the problem. There's not a ton of easily accessible quality and appropriate information available. I use the word appropriate because what works for institutions often times won't work for the individuals investment needs. This is because the goals and strategies are different. Let me give you some background. When I was young, I was fascinated with real estate. My father would bring me along with his partners for meetings. Some of them were big shots. I would listen to how they analyzed new opportunities and how they managed opportunities through different obstacles.As I got older and developed my skill sets in real estate, I would always unconsciously resort to those conversations for perspective. That's when I noticed the rarity of the wisdom I acquired from my unique circles. I couldn't find that kind of wisdom in any educational program I've been through, including my MBA program. Having the wisdom from landlords and industry leaders who have weathered these cycles is invaluable, as well as using that proven success and advice to design your long term real estate investment strategy. That is the solution. This podcast is personally exciting. Besides having a ton of respect for everyone, I bring on the podcast. I've been looking forward to these discussions because they shed light on how successful family owned real estate investment businesses approach investments and how you can too. I'll give you a clue. It's not always about the numbers, but it is about weathering the storm when things as they always do get rough. There's a unique wisdom to each conversation, and if you believe in learning from the success of others, then you will like this podcast and his community of like minded investors. You can add that to your portfolio. Want more solutions or to get in touch with us? Go to our website at www.SignetInvestments.com for articles, other podcasts, and more information.

MARK CRAWFORD (Farmland Real Estate Syndication, Developer)
Today, Mark Crawford, CEO of Land Income, and I sit down to discuss farmland real estate as an investment.
Not being familiar with this asset class in real estate I was blown away with the returns, rationality, and risk profile. We spoke about water shortage, population growth, supply chain effects on farmland, and many other interesting topic. Please see below for more information:
Mark helps investors of all sizes - from individuals, to institutions and trust funds - revamp vanilla portfolio allocations by adding non-correlated, income producing, and inflation hedged investments in premium farmland, water supply, agricultural development, and other asset-based investments.
As a licensed California Real Estate Broker having over 40 years of expertise in the farmland, agriculture, and asset-based investment space who has grown and sold 4 real estate LLCs through fluctuating market cycles, and allocated over $100,000,000 of investor capital, Mark understands the challenges of the asset-based investment landscape and how daunting it can be.
This is why he is proud to say (I’m outstanding in my field 🌾👴🏼 🌾) He has helped hundreds of investors make millions of dollars and have a network of founders that are experts in the farmland and agricultural industries. 🚜 📈

LORNA AUERBACH (Commercial Real Estate, Family Office, Asset Management)
Lorna Auerbach oversees the asset management functions of her family’s multi-state commercial investment portfolio as President and CEO of Auerbach Realty Holdings, LLC. In Part 1 of our interview, we discuss the benefits of viewing core company values, employees, and entrepreneurship through a long-term lens, and what matters most in mentorship and family business.
In addition to her professional accomplishments, Lorna is a fitting example of the kind of impacts generational success can have on a broader scale. As a second-generation investor, she has followed in her father’s footsteps in leveraging business success toward numerous philanthropic and social justice causes, and the large-scale impacts of her efforts are many — including bringing about changes in legislation aimed toward bringing an end to sex trafficking and child sexual abuse.

JOSE SIGAL (Family Office, Real Estate Investments and Development)
In todays episode, I have an exciting and informative conversation with someone very close to me. Besides being my father, his real estate investment strategies and business savviness provide a lot to learn from. Jose Sigal is the founder and owner of J S Signet, a boutique real estate investment company. He has been investing in real estate since the 80’s when he immigrated from Mexico with very limited resources. It was with those resources and the right strategies where, he created a nice base for a family portfolio managed out of his office in Santa Monica, California.
His specialty is identifying little jewels of properties in great locations. It is because of that, tenants he has leased property to include Fidelity Investments, Erewhon Markets, Tommy Bahama, Best Buy, Gap, and others. He has also developed and owned several apartment buildings, and entitled land. Although mostly focused in Los Angeles, he has had success in other states proving his strategy can work, with the right ingredients, all over.
Today, Jose discusses strategy, how to think in business and why often it’s not about the numbers. His conservative approach alongside value add strategies are key components in how he has created his growth.
Although many principles may apply no matter the time period, this was shot February 26th, 2020.
