A range of fundamental change is forcing real estate investors to closely examine how, where, and why they are investing. The change is not complete and investors have to learn how to adapt even as they don’t have a clear formula for how it might be done.
On this episode of the AFIRE Podcast, Mandi Wedin, Founder and CEO of Feroce Real Estate Advisors, draws on her experience growing up in Alaska to help investors learn a “frontier mentality” to navigate and thrive in an unpredictable environment.
She sat down on May 5, 2023 with AFIRE CEO and podcast host Gunnar Branson to explore how leaders in real estate can surf the waves of change coming from ESG, Demographics, AI, and the Metaverse. Not unlike dealing with bears in the wild, preparation, flexibility, and acceptance are crucial to surviving and thriving the challenges to come.
