Why Multi-Family Investments Aren’t Just a Rich Uncle’s Game

Remember back in the day when owning a two-story house felt like being Bruce Wayne? Times have changed. Today, I’m all about multi-family units. Why? Because when one tenant exits stage left, you've still got others making sure your investment doesn’t tank. It's like having a backup generator, but for cash flow.

On the Hunt for Commercial Property Acquisitions

Chasing commercial properties to acquire is like being in a real-life game of Monopoly, except the properties are bigger, and the stakes are real. It’s thrilling, and yes, sometimes you land on ‘Go to Jail’ and have to make tough calls. But when the dice roll right? It’s payday, my friends.

In my experience, the trick is to never get too emotionally attached to a deal. Love at first sight is great for Hallmark movies, not so much for investment returns.
