With 30 years of corporate finance and real estate experience between them, Milwaukee natives and husband-wife duo, Anthony and Teresa Machi, started Mach1 Lending and Mach1 Capital in 2016. Mach1 Lending provides private loans for real estate investors and developers, while Mach1 Capital offers clients passive real estate investment opportunities.

How do alternative investments like real estate protect against inflation and market fluctuation?

Anthony: Alternative investments historically have earned better returns than most other investments. They can act as a hedge. They typically aren’t offered to the public market, so it takes a lot of the volatility out of the equation. Our investors are paid monthly, and yields are tied to the investment itself providing more stability.  With private real estate funds, you don’t have to deal with the usual day-to-day maintenance, or answering calls at 10 p.m., that often comes with owning property. Mach1 Capital has a reputable performance history with its investors doing nothing and getting paid each month. It’s a passive investment. 

You provide “hard money loans,” secured by collateral, for real estate investors and developers. How are these loans beneficial? 

Teresa: It’s beneficial for buying a competitive piece of property, especially if you need to close quickly. You can feel confident knowing that if you work with Mach1 Lending your offer is as good as cash. We do everything in-house so we’re able to turn things around very fast. We do our own appraisals, valuations and underwriting, and we have our own legal and tax teams so we can close much quicker than traditional lenders.
