In this episode of The Power of Passive Investing, Alina sits down with Yury Sirochinsky, Head of Capital at Smartland, for a candid conversation about raising capital, navigating private equity, and the state of commercial real estate in 2025.
Yury shares his journey from Ukraine to corporate America, and eventually into real estate private equity, bringing lessons from companies like GE and Allstate into the entrepreneurial world of syndications and investor relations.
He covers:
- The shift from retail to institutional capital
- How Smartland is positioning itself in today’s distressed CRE market
- What LPs need to understand about risk, returns, and capital calls
- Why efficiency, integration, and AI adoption are non negotiables in modern real estate ops
- How Smartland plans to scale to 10,000 units and launch a capital arm
Whether you’re a GP, LP, or aspiring syndicator, Yury’s take is refreshingly honest and packed with practical insight.
