Redeveloping U.S. Malls Part 2 with Brait Fund Saul Zenkevicius
Guest: Saul Zenkevicius is a personal friend and prior business partner of mine. We used to flip houses together in Chicago & Miami. Now he’s moved on to redeveloping underperforming Malls with his partner Rafik and their team.
Big Idea: The biggest opportunity in commercial real estate is leasing up large amounts of vacant space. This is how to earn profits exceeding $10,000,000. The key to doing this is building a business focused on attracting tenants and building an ecosystem of tenants that will bring traffic to those properties over a long period of time.
Dan: Saul Zenkevicius, welcome back to the show. How you doing?
Saul Zenkevicius: Good. How are you, Danny?
Dan: Good. For listeners who’ve been around a while, March 1st, 2019, Saul was on the show. We talked about leveling up in real estate, and he was just getting into industrial properties, and I think getting out of the house, flipping business. Saul and I were also partners in the Miami market, and we did quite a bit of business together in the Chicago market before the focus became commercial. Saul is the founding member of Z Equity. Do you have another company or any other company associations at this point we know.
Saul: Yeah. I am also managing partner in Braid Fund where Rafik Morris is my partner over there and we’re buying malls with that company.
