Bryan Ellis is the host of Self Directed Investor Talk, a very popular podcast and radio show. Bryan has a vast background in real estate investing and currently serves as a manager of a real estate-focused private equity fund operating in Northern California. Bryan served as publisher of the Bryan Ellis Investing Letter and is a contributor to Forbes, TheStreet.com, and Entrepreneur.com. He also published a magazine called Self-directed Investor and they are about to launch a new magazine called Accredited Investor magazine that has a slightly different focus than the other one.
Bryan got into the real estate world a little bit over 20 years ago. He was a software engineer at the time. When his first daughter was born, he realized that he didn't want to work 90 hours a week anymore and had to find some other way to make some money. He then landed in single-family real estate. He admits that he was really bad at it to start with, but ultimately kind of figured that out and built an email list to support that business. Out of that grew a really fairly large following. He had several 100,000 people on the email list at the time. Through the years, he ended up learning what people really need to know about investment opportunities, what accredited or affluent investors, what they really need to know, in order to make a good decision about participating in an investment opportunity or not.
