Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

How to Be a “No Bad Economic News” Investor

Markets boom. Markets bust. Interest rates rise, inflation falls, jobs grow, jobs shrink — and most investors ride the roller coaster in fear.

But there’s another way: become a “No Bad Economic News” investor.

What does that mean?

It means structuring your deals and portfolio so that almost any headline still works in your favor.

3 Ways to Get There:

  1. Cash Flow First. Buy properties that make sense today without betting on appreciation.

  2. Multiple Exit Strategies. If Plan A stalls, you pivot to Plan B — rental, flip, wholesale, lease-option — without losing money.

  3. Buy Below Market. Build in equity from day one so short-term dips don’t hurt you.

Bottom line: For the prepared professional, there is no “bad” economic news. There’s just news.
