Beyond Base Equity

Does your W2 control your life? Here’s what I’ve learned how to manage time better:

Say no. Do you need to respond to that email when people don’t respect your time? No. Will the world burn down if you don’t do that right away? No.

Building a better work/life balance is critical to not burning out in life. I always love being able to solve problems and fix things through email, but some sometimes I have to remind myself to sit and relax and enjoy family time or personal time.

Maybe not for you, but I’ve decided to primarily focus on joint ventures for 2025. A smaller group of investors and partners to generate more equity per person and more cashflow.

Syndications are nice and I might still create one next year, but by and large, I have started to lean the way of cashflow areas of equity growth. With so much uncertainty, equity can’t buy groceries. My deals next next year will all focus around cashflow and longer holds as the primary return metric.

How many of you have started your 2025 real estate strategic planning yet? Anything you guys plan to change?

None of us as smart as all of us.

While individuals can be smart, it takes a team to be able to really perform at peak efficiency. Different insights into solutions or ways forward can come from many different people and collaborating yields more than the sum of their parts.

Not only is teamwork critical to real estate but all walks of life. Sometimes we just need an outside perspective to help us through a problem. Sometimes we need the advice of a mentor or someone who has done what we’re looking to do.

It’s time to collaborate, not compete!

As we move in to the holiday week, it’s always a festive time of the year, but that doesn’t mean growth needs to stop.

We’re still working, we’re still taking care of tenants, we’re still working on our next deal.

It’s a good day to keep the ball rolling! What are you working on this week?
