Your hosts for this podcast are the dynamic duo Ava Benesocky and August Biniaz. The power couple takes pride in their combined real experience of over 25 years. This industry is not a side hustle or a simple gig for them. Ava and August’s lives are deeply embedded in real estate. This is evident in the success of the investment firm they founded: CPI Capital.


Ava was one of the youngest award-winning agents at REMAX. Her ability to build strong communities and forge long-lasting relationships made her one of the most appreciated and successful experts out there. Ava currently serves as the CEO of CPI Capital. On the other hand, August is a fund manager and syndicator. His passion lies in helping other people realize their financial goals and earn substantial returns through multifamily property investing. August is CPI Capital's CSO and COO.


Ava and August bring to the podcast unparalleled expertise solidified by their vast industry experience. You cannot ask for better hosts to help you start your real estate venture in the active or passive scene.


You may have second thoughts about getting into real estate, given its many facets, legalities, and processes involved.

With seemingly endless properties and owners to do business with, you'll get your money’s worth right here.

    What happens when the poster child for conventional financial advice is actually broke? Former financial advisor Chris Miles shares his shocking journey of leaving the harsh rat race of Wall Street and making the leap into making passive income. Joining Ava Benesocky and August Biniaz, he looks back on surviving a near-bankruptcy during the Great Financial Crisis and how it became a catalyst in creating his own debt paydown system called the Cashflow Index.
