In this episode of the Health and Wealth podcast, hosted by Carter and Tim, they welcome Brion Crum, the VP of Wealth Development at Caliber Funds, to discuss his journey and experience in the financial services industry. Carter shares how he met Brion at an alliance campaign and attended a round table discussion with him, and they have been discussing having him on the podcast ever since. Brion talks about how growing up on a farm in Ohio and watching his father's entrepreneurship made him realize the value of business ownership and Investing in Real Estate. This realization drove him to pursue a career in financial services, and he currently works for Caliber Funds and Caliber Companies.

Brion also shares about the history of Caliber, which started in 2009 to help people access real Estate deals during the last great recession. He explains that Caliber buys distressed properties, renovates them, and distributes income to investors. In 2014, they were able to take advantage of the Jobs Act, which allowed equity Crowdfunding to occur. Brion explains that they had to make sure that all investors were accredited, meaning they had a net worth over a million dollars or an income exceeding $300,000 as a couple or $200,000 as an individual. 

They also discuss the Opportunities Zone Fund program, which is designed to encourage investment in economically disadvantaged areas in the US. Investors who have a capital gain can invest it in a qualified opportunity zone fund, which provides them with tax benefits such as deferring owing any federal capital gains tax for several years. Caliber invests in real estate, particularly in Arizona, Colorado, and Texas. The company has a vertically integrated and diversified real estate asset management system and raises most of its capital through Caliber Funds. Brion also talks about how financial advisors can work with Caliber and the benefits of doing so.

Carter Wilcoxson Podcaster

For almost two decades, Carter has helped top advisors in the country provide safe retirement solutions and accelerate their businesses to new heights, allowing them to support a record-setting number of clients.

Working directly with households himself, who want to protect the nest eggs they’ve worked their whole lives to accumulate, this personal experience of having dinner table conversations with people has driven Carter to always be on the lookout for what clients need that the financial industry might not be offering.

In this light, he recognized a deep divide between people who had the plan to protect and enjoy their wealth in retirement and those who were not only at risk of outliving their retirement savings but also at risk of having their legacy mishandled by unprepared heirs.

This led him to seek out the best minds in the industry. Financial planners, software engineers, and strategic marketing creators to partner with for delivering what Carter calls the three E’s… Educate, Enlighten, and Empower!

Carter went on a mission to perfect a solution to solve this critical problem. Finally, Carter had a “Eureka!” moment, and he created the combination of a proven cloud-based Estate Planning software with his proprietary process and solution that he knew the world desperately needed.

Now Carter and his team devote themselves to connecting consumers with the financial professionals and education they need to make informed financial decisions about the future of their estates. This revolutionary solution, known as our eStatePlan™ Portfolio, lets people bypass the expense and intimidation of consulting a high-priced attorney using the OEPT (Outsourced Estate Planning Team) to deliver white-glove and end-to-end support to complete client’s goals and objectives around their estate and legacy planning needs.
