Today, I welcome Jacob Winn to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Jacob is part of the team at Rex and today he shares how his background in hedge funds, derivatives, and quantitative risk management shaped the way he evaluates real estate opportunities in today’s market. He breaks down why he believes many investors misunderstand alternative investing, how real estate can offer meaningful diversification and tax advantages beyond traditional public market strategies, and why clarity around cash flow, equity growth, and overall portfolio goals is so important before making any allocation. Jacob also dives into Rex’s investment approach, explaining how the firm has built a vertically integrated multifamily platform with more than 25,000 units under management, why they remain focused on buying great assets at the right basis, and how market selection, operational excellence, and disciplined underwriting are shaping their strategy across the Sun Belt. With experience spanning both public markets and private real estate, he distills lessons that are just as valuable for passive investors trying to make smarter decisions as they are for operators navigating today’s more volatile environment.

Looking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments? You’re in the right place.

If you’re new here, my name is Danny Gould. I’m the founder and CEO of Gould Capital, a private equity firm specializing in exclusive commercial real estate and other alternative investments. We connect investors with elite opportunities - investments that aren’t public, aren’t cookie-cutter, and most importantly, aren’t what your financial advisor is pitching.

Here’s how I got here…

1) Started as a pre-med student at Stanford University, but a lifelong dream of building the biggest hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip ignited my passion for real estate.
2) Transitioned to residential real estate, driving over a quarter billion dollars in sales, and became an industry leader in one of the most competitive markets in the world.
3) Decided to finally pursue my Hotel dreams and founded GMS Ventures alongside two experienced Hoteliers, with a total Hotel Portfolio Size of over $300M
4) Leveraged my expertise and relationships to build Gould Capital - which empowers investors to access transformative commercial real estate deals and alternative investments.
