Sit Still & Be Quiet – A most effective Deal Making Strategy One of my daily strategies for successful deal making is to simply close my eyes in the morning, be quiet, & sit still. You probably know this as meditation. For the past 15 years, I’ve had a nearly daily habit of meditating each morning for anywhere from 3-30 mins. The time isn’t important to me anymore. 3 mins is just as good as 22 mins. (I used to set a timer for 20 mins and try to make it to the end. That actually was a bit stressful) On days where I remember the mediation I notice an increase in effectiveness, better decisions, and a more calm approach

The Wrong Month?: Contrary to popular belief, the 56 delegates did not all sign

Today is a quick reminder on one aspect of building & maintaining wealth. At any given time you are either growing or shrinking. There is no such thing as standing still, holding your position. Be diligent to know the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds; For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations. – Proverbs 27:23 Don’t become complacent.

Could you Run 6-10 Deals at any Given Time? If you are already doing this, congratulations. You can simply delete this email, buy one of these as your next deal, and carry on with your week. If you are not already doing this, let me share what this looks like. Running 5-10 deals at once means you are closing 1-2 deals every month. Steady, above average income. Running 5-10 deals at once is also a lot of work. You are managing dozens of negotiations at any time with sellers in search of that next deal. You are managing dozens of negotiations with contractors around design, repair items, and inspection reports. You have a strong rolodex of these service providers and

We are always buying value add residential, commercial, & industrial property. Happy to review any deal you might have available. Here is my observation on the residential real estate market across the US: Buyers seek perfection. Dated, “needs some repairs” handyman specials are increasingly selling only to investors at cash prices. For the past 5 years since Covid, retail buyers would accept houses that needed some work.  Not anymore. At minimum, the house must be painted & clean. Ideally new appliances. Better yet-fully renovated. In a flat or declining market, which we is the case in the majority of local markets, renovated houses hold their value. People pay for convenience, ad it is mighty convenient to move into a fully
