Pascal Wagner tells Chris Lopez how he went from house hacking to managing his family’s money, and why he moved away from single loans to people he knew toward larger, diversified funds. He explains why he invests for cash flow rather than drawing down a stock portfolio, how his money is split across debt funds, rentals, crypto and cash, and why he wants to rely less on debt funds. He describes the deals that interest him now, where a building is put to a new use, and why he meets many funds with the same strategy before investing in one.
