Look for integrity and team-first leadership.Treat due diligence like a mission briefing: Great operators review the plan multiple times. You should too—dig into assumptions, risks, and the numbers before deploying capital.Speed matters—but only when you're prepared: Good deals don’t wait. Have your capital ready and be clear on what you're looking for so you can act quickly and confidently.Know when to eject: Emotional attachment or sunk costs can cloud judgment. Be willing to pass on a deal if it doesn’t align—even after putting in time.Balance conviction with discipline: Confidence is important—but so is patience. Don’t let short-term emotions push you into long-term mistakes.Focus on the long-term arc, not short-term fluctuations: Great investing is about staying consistent over decades, not chasing trends or reacting to short-term noise.// Let's build your wealth and improve housing, together.

• How Real Estate Waterfalls Actually Work (and What It Means for You) | Ep 72

  (Watch the YouTube video of this episode here)In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of waterfall structures in passive real estate investing. Learn the intricacies of who gets paid what and when, the capital stack, and how profits are split among different tiers of investors. We explore the technical details using relatable analogies, making complex ideas more understandable. Tune in and get a clear picture of how to structure your investments for successful returns.// Key Moments 00:00 Intro02:06 Understanding the Capital Stack03:45 Exploring Different Types of Debt06:35 Simple and Complex Waterfall Structures09:36 Tiered Profit Splitting12:47 Understanding IRR and Cumulative Returns15:21 Simplifying Investment Returns//Key LessonsUnderstand your stack before you invest: Know your place in the capital stack to understand how risky your position is—and how sweet your returns might be.Don’t just invest—interrogate: Ask your sponsor where exactly you are in the waterfall structure. Vague answers mean vague returns.Preferred returns are nice—but only if they’re cumulative: If you’re promised 8%, make sure you know if that compounds over time or disappears like a ghost if missed early.If the waterfall doesn’t make sense, don’t go swimming: Complicated splits and tiers may sound fancy, but if they’re not clearly explained, they’re probably hiding something.The riskiest floor has the best view: In the capital stack high-rise, the penthouse (common equity) has the biggest upside—but it’s also where you ride out the storms.// Let's build your wealth and improve housing, together.I spent 12 years as a data scientist at HP and purchased $5M worth of real estate over 15 years using my own money.
