Ian Formigle is the Chief Investment Officer at CrowdStreet. CrowdStreet advisors give clients assets access to investments that are different from their traditional real estate holdings while helping them achieve their financial goals. Ian is a real estate professional and serial entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in real estate, private equity startups, and options trading at CrowdStreet and serves as the key decision maker for all investments on its marketplace.

In this podcast, Doug and Ian discuss how CrowdStreet is helping advisors cut through the data, offering valuable insights for potential commercial real estate (CRE) investment opportunities. 

They also discussed:

• If the outlook for investing in real estate has changed 
  
• Why there are some commercial real estate headwinds yet no large pullback on some of the prices across the sectors that many people expected
  
• The sectors Formigle sees as bullish and bearish
  
• The bankruptcies of some major retail chains and if they hurt the general perception of the CRE industry or offer an opportunity
  
• The motivators to get people off the sidelines and investing
