That’s okay—what’s important is understanding the "why" behind your investment decisions.While your accountant’s suggestion is a great starting point, make sure investing aligns with your own goals and situation—not just because someone else is enthusiastic about a particular strategy.

Thanks @Robin Simon I plan on reproducing this strategy in 2025 to buy 3-5 more.

What is your exit strategy?
