    Ep. 137 - Investing Where Others Won’t: A Global Family Office Real Estate Strategy

    Guest: Bruce Talley - Worldwide Sales, Business Development Professional In this episode of the Family Office Real Estate Institute Podcast, host DJ Van Keuren sits down with Bruce Talley to explore a rarely discussed corner of global real estate investing: residential opportunities in Ukraine during and after conflict. Bruce shares his unconventional path from investment banking and international development to founding destination service businesses across Russia, Brazil, Japan, and now Ukraine. Drawing on decades of experience in post-Soviet and frontier markets, he explains why residential real estate in cities like Kyiv, Lviv, and Odessa may be deeply undervalued despite ongoing geopolitical risk. The conversation dives into how individual apartment ownership works in Ukraine, why foreign investors can legally hold assets through onshore entities, and how historical precedents from Poland, the Czech Republic, and the Baltics shaped this investment thesis. Bruce also outlines his fund’s focus on diversification, unlevered returns, downside protection, and long-term exit strategies tied to European institutional buyers. This episode offers a thoughtful, risk-aware discussion for family offices evaluating international real estate, contrarian strategies, and post-conflict markets, while emphasizing disciplined underwriting, capital preservation, and long-term value creation. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Libsyn 🌐 Learn more at www.fore.institute
