Since April 2025, we've helped investors fund $5.6M in real estate across 31 properties.

Solo 401(k) considerations The group covered when a Solo 401(k) makes sense, including self employment income requirements, compliance rules, and administrative responsibilities.

Topics included borrower quality, verification of receivables, risk controls, and where this type of lending may or may not fit. Business acquisition paths Different strategies for acquiring service based businesses were discussed, including improving underperforming companies versus building a broader portfolio. The emphasis was on being clear about strategy and not overcomplicating early decisions. Simplifying under pressure A real scenario highlighted the risks of juggling too many deals at once.
