Welcome to the show today, cause we've got a special show and I'm going to ask you a question. What if it was possible to unlock the equity in your home or your property without taking on more debt and be able to use that equity for virtually anything that you want to use it for. But of course we're real estate investors. And what I'm thinking of is you would take that equity that you've just pulled out of your property or properties and use it to invest in more income producing assets like turnkey rental properties or whatever it may be. So my guest today is someone who is in an interesting space. This is something I've actually talked about very briefly in episodes in the past, where you have the ability to take out equity without actually incurring debt.
And it's an interesting concept. So I'm going to let my guest talk about that here today. So my guest is Matthew Sullivan and he is the CEO and the founder of QuantmRE a company that solves a real problem for property owners by helping them to access a portion of the equity in their properties without actually taking on debt. Now you might be asking yourself, well, how's that possible? Or how do you do that? Well, hang tight because we're going to answer that question. Matthew has a proven track record in the real estate innovation space and that's through his experience as a co-founder of secured real estate income strategies fund. And he is the president and founder of crowd venture.com a real estate crowdfunding company. So with all that, Matthew, welcome to the show.
Thank you for having me on.

Well, it's great to have you on here. You know, my audience is probably wondering, well, what exactly does this person do? So tell us more about yourself and where you've come from and you know what you're up to today.

I've always had an entrepreneurial background, I think primarily because I think I've discovered at a very early age that I was systemically unemployable. Um, so, um, that combined with this sort of burning desire to go out and build things. And so I, my sort of entrepreneurial path really started, you know, gosh, 30 years ago, how time flies. And I started off life as a stockbroker and went into corporate finance and then run my own businesses that were involved in telecoms and technology and finance moved over to the US seven years ago. And what I did, there was really something that I've been meaning to do for years, which was to get involved and to start a business that was directly involved in real estate. So the first thing I did was to set up a crowdfunding company, which was one of the very early real estate crowdfunding companies, which took advantage of the changes in legislation that came about by the jobs act.

And that really was my staging point or my platform to enable me to build relationships in the real estate sector over here, I was based in Southern California, sets a real hotbed for real estate innovation, and really one thing led to another. And as we grew the business, we stumbled across this incredibly interesting asset class, which is the equity in owner-occupied homes. And so three years ago, we set up QuantmRE, um, which is the company that you mentioned. And what we do now is we help homeowners unlock some of the equity in their homes, as you say, without taking on debt.

Interesting. Okay. So that's a very interesting concept. It's not something that's new.
