Jewels of Wisdom Newsletter – We Bought a Farm this Week
We Bought a Farm this Week Diamond Equity Investment is a MARKET MAKER. This is our role in the U.S. real estate market. In the same way that Citadel provides liquidity to the stock market, Diamond Equity provides liquidity to the real estate market. While we buy quite a few houses (250+ per year), we often are presented odd & unique properties from sellers looking for liquidity- a quick cash sale.

One asset type, such as self storage, with an entire business built around optimizing those assets. Bring them
Jewels of Wisdom Newsletter – Everybody ’round me Rich, or Will Be
“Everybody ’round me Rich, or Will Be” Jay Z says this in “Nickels & Dimes”- a song about charity -vs- giving opportunity and also about going from broke (“scratchin’ for every nickel & dime”) to rich. I can relate to that. When I was broke, this line was like a divine message from God, a shift in my spirit- to not just get myself out of poverty, but find a way to help MANY others do the same.

Bill Kanatas and Ben Salzberg, are experienced real estate developers, specializing in Class A facilities, often involving the repositioning of closed, dark spaces or ground-up construction. Their strategy is primarily that of a merchant builder, aiming to develop and sell these properties within a three to five-year window after stabilization. They highlighted the importance of community engagement and building trust with municipalities during the entitlement process, especially when addressing concerns about new developments.

Jewels of Wisdom Newsletter – How to Succeed in Real Estate for a Decade Straight
How to Succeed in Real Estate for a Decade Straight I’ve been in real estate since 2006, but only for the past 10 years or so has Diamond Equity experienced consistent growth, year over year. I personally learned how to keep the momentum going by studying other successful people who kept businesses running over a long period of time. John Rockefeller is one of my favorites. John quit school at age 16 to support his family because he was tired of being poor. Here are his words: “As our successes began to come, I seldom put my head upon the pillow at night without speaking a few words to myself in this wise: Now a little success, soon you will

Jewels of Wisdom Newsletter – Why do Some Partnerships Fail?
Why do Some Partnerships Fail? In the mid 1980’s, when I was a kid growing up, my dad had an electrical contracting business. He also collected a few rentals. All of this was done between 4 partners. For a little while, things were good. We moved to a bigger house in a better school system. Christmas one year was overflowing for us 4 siblings.
