More recently I've focused on real estate opportunities, particularly independent multi-unit hospitality offerings with the potential for significant value-add.

Hi everyone,I’m currently reading Start with Strategy and trying to map out my approach, but I’d love practical advice on how to properly structure my financial and real estate portfolio goals.

Hey Mike, looks like you are really financially secure right now and on the right path.

Has anyone had any experience using New City Financial as a lender?

I'd love to connect and explore potential opportunities to collaborate financially, Looking forward to seeing how we can grow together!

Financial independence by 30 or 35?

The deciding question is whether the condo supports long-term financial independence.

We want to be able to be financially independent by the time we are early 40s.

While some alternative lenders may still offer 35- or 40-year amortizations privately, these are not mainstream and typically carry higher rates and stricter conditions.These global examples show a clear pattern: ultra-long mortgages may temporarily make housing more affordable, but they rarely create healthy long-term financial outcomes.

My choice to go into this stems from the fact I see this as the key to financial independence, and wealth.
