My guest on the show today is Bill Chen, Managing Partner at Rhizome Partners. I met Bill at the MicroCapClub Leadership Summit back in October and was stoked to have him on the pod to chat real estate with him. I haven't covered publicly-traded real estate, or real estate in general, that much and thought it was time to change that up. Bill did the pod circuit last year, and he clearly has a handle on the latest and greatest in Real Estate; a few things we hit on today: delta between public and private valuations, what lower interest rates environment means for REITs, chat on a few pubcos, bear case, commercial and more!
