More Investment Opportunities

Travis Smith is the Founder and CEO of Tribevest, a collaboration platform that makes it 10x easier & less expensive to align, formalize, pool capital, and ultimately buy real estate together. His platform and processes allow those once impossible real estate deals to come to life. This has paved the way for many additional real estate deals that otherwise could not have been possible. He has a unique and extensive background in financial services and enterprise payment software.
 
The Road to Success
 
Travis was a top financial advisor at Morgan Stanley before discovering his passion for technology.  With his wealth management training, he became a thought leader in the FinTech industry with a focus on digital payments. Most recently, he led the Strategic Alliance team at Jack Henry & Assoc., a multi-billion dollar FinTech company and core software for thousands of banks. His background and experiences as a financial advisor gave him the foundation he needed to move on to bigger and better accomplishments!
 
Reinventing the Wheel
 
Travis discovered through these experiences that it was exponentially more fun to disrupt the reigning wealth management institutions than to be part of them. His vision for Tribevest was born from the 2008 financial crisis when he and his brothers realized that if they were going to change their family’s financial trajectory, they’d need to work together. By forming and funding an Investor Group (that tribe) they were able to unlock a future he thought he could never have dreamed of!

Success in Multiple Businesses

Chris Arnold is the Co-Founder of COSA Investments, one of the largest wholesale companies in the DFW Metroplex. COSA is operated and managed by a US virtual team which has allowed Chris to run his company while living in Tulum, Mexico. He is also the founder of Arnold Elite Realty which is a cutting-edge boutique brokerage consisting of a team of seasoned agents. His passion for coaching and mentoring entrepreneurs has led to the creation of The Multipliers Mastermind. Most recently Chris has launched his REI Radio coaching program. This program is designed to teach real estate Investors the Marketing stream that everyone knows about but NO ONE is doing!

The Path to Multiple Streams of Revenue

Chris got his feet wet as an agent first knowing that his true passion was in real estate. He got his license and went to work at a couple different brokerages and it didn’t take him long to realize the importance of building a team. So he built a team and his team successes motivated him to go out on his own to start his own brokerage. With his real estate eye always focused on the investment side he next realized that the time was now to begin flipping, wholesaling, and acquire some vacation rentals in Mexico.

The Virtual Company

Chris is driven by freedom and feels that one of the ultimate measures of freedom is location and not needing to live in the city in which you do business! So he got rid of all brick and mortar…anything known as the traditional office. That freed him to have the ability to move to the Caribbean and he now lives in Tulum full time while successfully running his businesses.
