Wrapping up this project

Just weeks away from wrapping up another successful project that is generating a 12% APY return for our private lending partners.

This got me thinking about what makes real estate partnerships truly work. 

It's not just about the numbers – it's about creating win-win scenarios where both parties can sleep well at night.

3 principles I've learned after 4 years in real estate investing:

1) Transparency builds trust. 

-> Quarterly Webinars for syndications

-> Pictures to lenders showing progress

-> Calls with lenders sharing our updates

2) Conservative underwriting is key. 

-> Plan for the worst

-> Work toward the best. 

-> Stress-test rehab/vacancy/hold time.

3) Your profit is made at purchase. 

-> We reject 95% of the deals we analyze 

-> Most don't meet our strict criteria

-> for safety and returns.

If you've been considering diversifying into real estate but aren't sure where to start, let's connect.
