Summary

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dennis Earl (Chairman & CEO) and Mike Pyles (Vice President) of The Haltere Group.

They are a Black-owned real estate syndication and investment firm. Hosted by Rashad McDonald, the conversation centers around financial empowerment, real estate investment, and community uplift, especially within the Black community.

🏢 About The Haltere Group

Mission: To democratize access to high-value real estate investments, traditionally reserved for wealthy or institutional investors.
Focus: Multifamily residential properties (not commercial like malls or strip centers).
Structure: A syndication model where individuals pool funds to invest in large-scale real estate.

💡 Key Themes & Insights

Education First: The group emphasizes financial literacy and wealth-building education, especially for Black and Brown communities.
Community Wealth: They aim to shift the narrative from consumerism (clothes, cars) to asset ownership and generational wealth.
Track Record:

135 investors (133 Black)
Over $15 million raised
$40+ million in assets under management

Returns:

8% annual cash return
Equity appreciation from property value increases
Tax benefits via K-1 forms

🎧 Podcast: “How with Haltere”

Meaning: “HOW” = Helping Others Win
Purpose: To educate listeners on entrepreneurship, investing, and financial literacy.
Availability: YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, etc.

🔁 Personal Journeys
