I'm done buying inflated NNN rents at 6-7% caps. Mortgage notes at 12% with no headaches are the way to go.

Success:  Signing a deal with First Watch

Failure: Bought a retail condo, not realizing the low ceilings were such a deal breaker for a lot of tenants.

Pain: A lot of turnover this year, especially in light industrial

Aha moment:  Mortgage note investing needs to be a larger part of my portfolio

2025 Goals: Less Investing and more pickleball!

What are your successes, failures, and aha moments?  What are your goals for 2025?

two things I have learned.  1,200 is a sweet spot for demand, and if you do have a large unit of 2,500 get a couple of them zoned for auto.  Big demand for auto repair or auto accessories.

Thanks to Texas fighting back!  However, I think eventually Big Government will win unless Trump has something to say about it.

I just learned this has now become a voluntary requirement for the time being as there is a court order to stop this reporting. We will see what the courts decide, just be aware of it. 

If you own a business even if it's a pass through LLC for your real estate you have to file a BOI Report by the end of this year.

BOI stands for Benefit ownership information.  It's a one time free filing made to the FINCEN.  It's a pain in the butt, but at least it's a one time filing.  Bankers will be asking for proof of this filing as you get loans in the future.

Need a CPA referral for one in the fairfax area.  Thinking about switching

IF you took your 600K today and put it into mortgage notes at 12% you will have $72,000 a year or 6K a month in cash flow right NOW!  You don't have to use all 600K, but I wanted to give you another option of what it possible. 12% returns with no headaches should be a part of everyone's portfolio.  Yes you have to pay capital gains on selling your properties, but you will recover that quickly with the high returns. If I would have known about these earlier I would have bought less personal real estate, but again it depends on your goals of leverage, building wealth, risk, and your overall perception on how to handle your money.
