  More Control, One K-1: Pivotal Person Sanjay Vora on Customizable Funds

  Sep 22, 202612 min

  Sanjay’s Takeaway: More control, more choice, and less paperwork. Customizable funds let real estate investors choose the deals they want, see where their money goes, and manage different account types under one fund. What if you could get the benefits of a real estate fund without giving up control over which deals you invest in? In this episode, Ginny Bolling sits down with Sanjay Vora to break down how the Avestor platform works, from investor onboarding and accreditation to KYC checks, deal documents, and capital distributions. They explain how investors can build their own mix of investments while keeping everything in one place. One key benefit is simpler tax reporting, with one K-1 across multiple deals. For investors seeking more flexibility, transparency, and control over private real estate investments, this episode offers a clear look at how the model works. Sanjay Vora is the founder and CEO of Avestor, where he helps build and manage private investment funds. He has advised and launched more than 200 funds and invested in hundreds of private deals. Before Avestor, Sanjay was a Vice President at Intel, leading product and strategic planning for its $40 billion PC business. He holds an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University and a bachelor’s degree in engineering.

  Invest Clearly: How to See Through the Marketing in Real Estate Deals by Pat Zingarella

  Sep 8, 202633 min

  Pat’s Takeaway: Get outside the influence of the people who have the most to gain from your investment decision. Use third-party resources, verified investor reviews, and independent communities to do external due diligence, instead of relying only on what a sponsor tells you. How do you know whether a real estate sponsor has earned your trust before you invest? In this episode, Ginny Bolling chats with Pat Zingarella, who is building a platform designed to give passive real estate investors a clearer view of the general partners and sponsors behind private investment opportunities. Pat explains why polished marketing and personal influence are not enough when placing capital. They discuss verified investor reviews, the communication gaps that can create concern after funding, and why outside research belongs in every due diligence process. Pat also shares the experience that reshaped how he evaluates risk. For LP investors and anyone considering commercial real estate syndications, this conversation offers a sharper way to look beyond the pitch and make more informed decisions. Pat Zingarella is the founder and CEO of Invest Clearly, an independent platform advancing transparency in private real estate investing. A former corporate sales professional and real estate investor, Pat moved from small multifamily properties into commercial real estate and is committed to helping investors make more informed decisions.
