The Power of Analytics in Real Estate Investing

Sean shares his unique journey from being a CPA in a big four accounting firm to transitioning into entrepreneurship within the oil and gas sector and eventually co-founding Forecasa. We dive into his experiences with data and analytics, the founding of multiple successful businesses, and his decision to pivot into real estate. Sean also provides valuable insights into the role of analytics in navigating market shifts, the importance of maintaining company culture, and strategies for sustainable growth. We also touch on current market trends and what the private lending space might look like in 2025. Sean’s expertise and transparency provide listeners with actionable advice, especially around data utilization, effective communication as a leader, and fostering team culture in a remote work environment. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a seasoned investor, or just interested in the evolving landscape of real estate, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge. Quotables “Communication is key. If you’re a CEO, you should know what’s happening regardless of where your employees are physically located.” “A good leader knows their limitations and surrounds themselves with the right people to keep them in line.” “In investing, always know your market. Getting into deals outside familiar areas adds risks you might not foresee.” “Analytics become crucial when things don’t go as planned—it’s important to understand the metrics driving your business.” “To grow a successful startup, you must have transparency, set expectations, and consistently measure performance.” Links & Resources Visit Forecasa to learn more about their services: https://www.forecasa.com/
