For every person in the world, there is something that serves as their driving force. For some people, the motive is art; for some, it is medicine, some people have a keen interest in sports while some people are really good at science and how the world works. With the dream that a person carries in their heart, the end result for every person is achieving success, and whatever the passion may be, real success can never be achieved without hard work.

Examples of people who are idolized today and admired throughout the world are those who were not only passionate about something but also had the guts and courage to work hard and make their mark in the industry. From Oprah Winfrey to J.K Rowling, Michael Jordan, and several others, success did not just fall at their feet; they recognized what their dream was and worked hard to reach the top.

Among the people who listened to their hearts and followed their dreams, the name of Kyrillos Saber remains distinguished. Kyrillos didn’t limit his passion to one industry; he worked hard and made sure his name shined among the well-known people in the acting as well as the music industry. 

Born on 14th July 1989, Kyrillos Saber opened his eyes in the capital of Egypt, Cairo. Before moving to the U.S., Kyrillos was a student at Cairo University, College of Arts, and received an Associate Degree in translation. Still young, the boy showed interest and talent in various forms of art. Knowing that he wanted to more in the entertainment industry than just sit and watch them from a distance, he worked hard in polishing his skills. His hard work bore fruit when in 2004, Kyrillos was landed with a role in the movie, St. Bishoy, when he was just 15 years old. Three years later, he was offered another role in the movie, St. Hermena.

Upon reaching his 20s, he moved to the U.S in 2009, where he attended the Galen college of nursing in Florida, and graduated with a Certificate of Nursing. Previously, the movies that he had starred in were released in Egypt, and the environment in the new state was a bit intimidating for Kyrillos. But he chose to take it as a challenge and kept working hard. Knowing that the industry was huge and required more than just talent, he spent elaborate hours looking at various pieces of films and music, watching and observing every move of the artists with the hope to learn what the American entertainment industry had to offer.

Finally, in 2013, Kyrillos played Frat Jock in Die Die Delta Pi, the American movie whose plot narrates the story of a serial killer who is responsible for committing devastating crimes and is currently at large. Apart from working in the acting industry, Kyrillos also began discovering what it took to be a celebrity in other entertainment sectors as well. Finding an interest in the field of music, the multi-talented Kyrillos set to work on writing a song. In 2017, he released the song ‘Screw You,’ a masterpiece that was written, produced, and directed by Kyrillos himself. It wasn’t long before the song was recognized for its exceptional tunes and unique vocals. Today, the song has 33,135 views on YouTube and 2.4 million on Facebook.

His first appearance on American television paired with the outstanding music song helped him gain a huge stream of fans. He has reached more than 35K subscribers on his YouTube Channel, where he uploads videos regularly. He is also active on his social media accounts, including Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. He is also the founder of Kyrillos Saber Records, which is his own fan page on Facebook having 237k followers.

Two years later, Kyrillos was landed with another role in The Nest Of Vampires (England), where he portrayed the character of Richard Marks. The film revolves around the story of an MI5 agent, known as KIT Valentine, whose wife and daughter were murdered by a gang of people. Valentine travels from London to rural England, in search of answers and finds that there exists a dangerous, underground society deeply involved in human trafficking and Satanic Cult Worship. The same year, Kyrillos played T.Y. in Shit Stew and Zombie in End Survival (USA).

The actor is also playing the role of Bar Patron in the movie, Todd, which is scheduled for release in October. He is also playing the roles of Vampire in Mercy, Mister in The Last Bounty, and Alan Sweet in Amber Road (USA).

Kyrillos has the role of Vampire Queen’s Follower 3 in Blood Thirst Supporting Tara Reid and the leading character of Troy in Necrophilia 1, a movie that was originally set for release this year but has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kyrillos played Reza Manzur Jr. in Social Distance, Male News Anchor in Numbers, Officer Sanchez in Amrak My New Family, Anarchist Member in Survival of the Apocalypse, and Masked gun-man in Having Had Breakfast (USA).

The Perfect Investment: RAD Diversified and Income-Producing Farms

mm

Published

on

Amidst the global lockdown of 2020, Dutch Mendenhall, founder of RADD America, began looking for an alternative to standard residential real-estate investments. So, he turned his analysis to farms and was blown away by the immense potential he saw. After going public in late 2019, RADD America purchased US farmland and made slices of the real estate available at minimum investments of $10,000.

Income-producing farms vs. other real estate asset classes

According to Mendenhall, an apartment complex in today’s US real estate market commands approximately a 4% or 5% cap rate. Farms offer somewhere around a 15% to 20% cap rate.

“When I first began looking at investing in farms, I compared each acre to an apartment or housing unit,” Mendenhall recalls. “The variety that income-producing farms provide is what I really love about them as an opportunity. With one season producing wheat and corn the next, you can double tap — you can raise livestock on top of agriculture. Putting money into the farm only pays off in time. Everything from improving soil to increasing irrigation makes a major impact on potential income, and so much of America’s farmland has fallen into disrepair during the last 20 years.”

When Mendenhall began investing during the early days of the pandemic, sustainable acres of producing farmland sold anywhere from $3,500 to $5,000. Today, he finds that income-producing acres of farmland easily sell for $9,500 to $10,000.

“I’ve seen farmland values almost double during the last couple of years,” Mendenhall says. “Currently, we’re in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Idaho, but we are analyzing land all over America. What reports don’t show is the difference between a properly maintained acre of farmland and an acre that is in disarray. There’s only so much workable farmland on the market today. We’ve hit the tipping point, and now, there’s a scarcity of land for people to buy. If you have the opportunity to purchase amazing agricultural land, you have to pull the trigger quickly.”

Income-producing farms as an asset class

Mendenhall is no stranger to investors. Since 2006, he’s connected them to deals in short sales, wholesaling, residential properties, and storage units, though he admits that every asset class has caused the same excitement as farmland. “At this point, we can’t find enough bargains for our investors,” he says. “They take real pride in their investments and keep asking us for more.”

RADD America takes a true grassroots approach when connecting its investors to farmland. “The farming world is different from any other in real estate,” explains Mendenhall. “We start by having our acquisitions and agricultural teams meet with farmers. When we get ready to brand cattle or plant, all the local farmers come and help. In the same spirit, our teams go out and help the local farmers when it’s their turn to brand and plant. To do it right, you have to build a relationship and a connection that’s quite different than other types of investing.”

RADD America is composed of expert investors and expert farmers. The company offers its investments through fractionalized ownership. In other words, the company purchases one farm and then allows a joint pool of investors to own it together. 

“If you don’t have a team that knows how to farm and maximize income, you’re not going to get the best possible return for investors,” warns Mendenhall. “Thankfully, our team isn’t so big for this type of investing that we forget who we are, and we have the economy to scale at a great pace.”

The impact of global competition on income-producing farm investments

RADD America closely monitors global trends. In Mendenhall’s experience, investors win when they move before the market. However, when they move after the market, they lose.

“When Russian first invaded and sparked its war with Ukraine, for example, we kept a close eye on its global impact,” he says. “As one of the largest producers of wheat in the world, we knew that Ukraine — now in the midst of a war — wasn’t going to be able to produce wheat at the same scale, so someone else needs to step in and fill the gap. We’re constantly monitoring what’s happening in the world to stay on top of evolving trends.”

In terms of global competition, Mendenhall is frustrated by foreign entities staking ownership of American farmland and agriculture. In this area, China has positioned itself as the number one threat to the sovereignty of the United States.

“When foreign powers have ownership of agricultural land in the US, it puts us all at risk as Americans,” remarks Mendenhall. “Over the past few years, we’ve seen soil quality erode, closures of meatpacking plants, and numerous fires. The likelihood of nuclear war in this age is very small. The quiet war of buying American agriculture and unsettling the American dollar is the threat we face today.”

Clearly, RADD America has a lot to pay attention to at home and abroad. “We’re monitoring weather patterns and making one-year, three-year, and five-year predictions,” Mendenhall explains. “We’re also paying close attention to interest rates to see where this shifting economy is headed. The up-and-down cycles are faster than they’ve ever been. Monitoring the industry is critical. With expert investors and agricultural specialists from RADD America on your team, farmland can be one of your most promising and rewarding investment opportunities.”
