This week’s episode features a spotlight on Tribevest, one of LFI’s Preferred Partners. Tribevest is a collaborative, group investment platform that enables friends and family to organize as an investor group, pool money, and manage joint investments. Brittany Barchalk, the Head of Marketing at Tribevest, joined us to talk about enhancements they’ve developed with their product this year.  First, the Open Tribe concept was rolled out earlier this year which allows for a Tribe to be formed by the community but managed by the team at Tribevest instead of one of the community members. This is a great asset so that all the participants in the Tribe can remain passive as it pertains to the Tribe itself. Additionally, Brittany shares the roll out of a new product the Tribevest Wallet. This allows for much easier fund transfers for those that are in multiple Tribes and should reduce the number of wires needed with investment through those Tribes. Lastly, Brittany mentioned a new enhancement that will be coming to the community soon called Pro-Tribe. More details to come on this as the development finalizes. If you would like to connect with Brittany, you can reach her at brittany@tribevest.com or you can find anyone on the team at their website https://www.tribevest.com/. If you enjoyed the podcast and would like to subscribe to our mailers, please use this link to get on our mailing list: https://leftfieldinvestors.com/subscribe/.To see the full show notes and transcript, click here. Our sponsor, Tribevest provides the easiest way to form, fund, and manage your Investor Tribe with people you know, like, and trust.

The world of investing is so vast that choosing an asset class can be a challenge in itself, especially when you’re considering becoming a passive investor. But if you are a fan of investing in an emerging asset class, then you should consider short-term rentals.

In an ever-changing market, you need an asset class that is durable. Don’t miss out on this conversation to find out why short-term rentals can be that for you!To see the full show notes and transcript, click here.Our sponsor, Tribevest provides the easiest way to form, fund, and manage your Investor Tribe with people you know, like, and trust.
