The Capital Stack with Special Guest Derek Eakin
This week’s episode is a continuation of my series that coincides with my upcoming book and name of the podcast, The Insider’s Edge to Real Estate Investing. In this show, the ninth of the 12-part series, my writing partner Rachel Hartman interviews special guest Derek Eakin, senior director of portfolio management at The RMR Group. Previously Derek was the chief investment officer at River Oaks Investment Corp. and while there, he and I partnered with others to create two real estate funds with a total capitalization of $350 million.
In this episode, Derek breaks down the layers of the capital stack, covering debt and equity components along with the risks and rewards to be aware of. He guides us through a sources and uses document, and explains why it’s essential to create one when raising capital.
In addition to helping me with the book, Rachel pens content for Fortune 500 companies and is a regular contributor for U.S. News & World Report (connect with her at LinkedIn).
