๐ค Your Network Compounds Faster Than Your Capital
Deals, insights, opportunitiesโthey all come from who you know, not just what you have.
Invest in relationships as much as real estate. ๐

๐ก Use Cost Segregation Early
Why wait till Year 5 when you can start saving from Day 1?
Accelerated depreciation = more tax savings, faster.
Donโt leave money on the tableโget strategic early. ๐ผ๐

๐ Monday Motivation: Listen Deeply Before You Try to Lead
True leadership begins with understanding, not instruction. Take the time to hear what your team, clients, or community really need โ because empathy builds influence faster than authority ever will.

๐ Small Market, Big Return ๐ฐ
Think beyond the big citiesโsecondary markets like often deliver higher yields and less competition. Tier 2 & 3 metros can be goldmines for savvy investors who know where to look. ๐๏ธ
Donโt sleep on the underdogs. Start building smarter in today.

๐ง Monday Motivation: Measure Twice, Execute Once, Adjust Quickly
Success doesnโt come from rushing โ it comes from preparation, precision, and adaptability. Plan smart, act boldly, and pivot fast when needed. Thatโs how trust is built and momentum is kept.
๐ฅ Let this week be all about strategic action and quick refinement.

๐ Cap Rate Isnโt Everything ๐ก
When investing in commercial real estate, donโt stop at cap rate. ๐
To truly understand your returns, consider Cash-on-Cash Return and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) โ cap rate alone ignores leverage and long-term growth potential. ๐
Make smarter moves with a full financial picture. Ready to grow in ?

Helping Teaching Living With Passion
That about sums it up. No matter what Iโve done in my life, these are the things that I strive to do. Whether doing project or operations management, repairing cars or boats for others or myself, picking up trash on the road, in the woods, or on the lake, or spending time with the family, fishing, hunting, having smores from the fire on the beach, or my daily jog, bike ride, calisthenics, or hitting the heavy bag. I love helping others, but more especially love teaching others to help themselves and can only do that when I am in peak shape mentally and physically.
When I help a first-time home, business, or investment property owner to be able to take that huge step, I love to be there before, during, and after because there is always something that will happen that I will either be able to help them with or be able to put them in touch with someone who can. Seeing the pride in oneโs eyes after that happening means the world to me. Just like when you see a kid catch their first fish or harvest their first deer, there is something that just goes right to the heart.
Have I failed? Absolutely! I fail at something every day. The important thing is that you learn from that failure; recognize and embrace it so you can grow from it and try to help others from making that same mistake. I love learning and growing and the only way to do that is by taking action and failing, but failing and evaluating. The only people that donโt fail are those that fail to take any action and are living in a bubble.
It is my mission to make every real estate transaction as easy as possible for my clients and ALL of those involved in it. I will recognize the hard work put in by the other agents as well as the buyers, sellers, and all of the professionals that made the transaction a success. I look forward to helping you with whatever your goals are and making them happen.
