In Milwaukee, small multifamily remains one of the most accessible paths into real estate investing. But choosing between a duplex, triplex, or fourplex is not simply about purchase price. It is about alignment. A simplified framework: Duplex • Lower purchase price • Easier management • Less rent diversification • Often easier resale flexibility Triplex • Increased income diversification • Moderate complexity • Strong middle ground Fourplex • Maximum FHA leverage • Highest rent spread • Greater management responsibility • Often more competitive to acquire The correct decision depends on: • Capital reserves • Time availability • Risk tolerance • Long-term strategy The property type matters less than whether it matches your operating capacity. If acquiring in Milwaukee this year, which would you pursue and why? A structured comparison worksheet has been added below.

AspiREs, Jerry Rice, arguably the greatest receiver in NFL history, didn't dominate on Sundays because of luck. He dominated because of what he did on Tuesday mornings when no one was watching. He famously said: "Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can do what others can't." At NextHome My Way, our philosophy is simple: Be Better by Being Better. Your business is a mirror. If you want a business that "others can't" replicate, you must commit to the personal discipline that "others won't" sustain. What does "doing what others won't" look like today? - It’s ignoring the "noise" of a busy inbox to focus on the "need" of lead generation. - It’s completing your Daily Success Habits (DSH) tracker with 100% honesty, even when the numbers are low. - It’s making that uncomfortable prospecting call or door-knocking that extra street when the temperature drops. Excellence isn't an act; it's a habit. Most people wait for "tomorrow" to be great. I challenge you to be disciplined today. When you raise your personal standard, your production has no choice but to follow. Let's do the work others won't. Raise the Standard and I'll see you at the finish line.

“What are you quitting today?” Team, We often talk about the grit it takes to start, but we rarely talk about the power of knowing what to quit. Winners aren't people who never stop; they are people who ruthlessly quit distractions and excuses. In our world, "noise" is everywhere—it’s the fake work, the over-analysis, and the excuses we make for why the needle isn't moving. When we let the noise win, we aren't just losing time; we are drifting away from our "Big Why". I’ll be honest with you: I am focused on moving the needle for my family. That is my standard. To do that, I have to be willing to quit anything that doesn't align with that goal. My challenge for you this Wednesday: Reflect on your Daily Success Habits (DSH). Look at your Activity Tracker. • What distraction are you quitting today? • What excuse is standing between you and the result your family deserves? Let’s stop being busy and start being effective. Let’s choose the Need over the Noise. Be better by being better.

Team, As we set our sights on a powerful and productive week, I want to challenge a common belief we hold: that busyness equates to success. The truth is, you cannot truly rest, grow, or raise your standard if you don't delegate to capable people. Our ultimate objective is to multiply our value. "Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold". This multiplying effect can't happen if you’re personally involved in every single step. The Biblical Wisdom of Delegation In the Book of Exodus, Moses was doing exactly what many of us do: trying to handle every single problem for everyone. His father-in-law, Jethro, saw this and gave him one of the clearest lessons in leadership and self-care ever recorded. Jethro essentially said: "What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. You cannot handle this alone." He then advised Moses to select capable people (the right partners!) and delegate the load. Why? So Moses could focus on the "big rocks" —the most important, high-leverage tasks. Your Challenge to Be Better Delegation isn't a sign of weakness; it's the ultimate expression of your commitment to focus, leverage, and self-care. It frees your time to work on your business instead of endlessly in it. It aligns directly with the goal of building a team of experts, where "you don't have to be an expert; you just have to know one". To delegate successfully, you must have capable people—your Trusted Partners. - Action 1: Identify Your Jethro: Who are the two key vendors or partners (lender, title, admin, etc.) you can delegate your next two time-consuming tasks to? Enter them into your Real Estate Team List. - Action 2: Free Your Time: What is one task that you commit to removing from your own plate this week? (Examples: running flyers, social media content, pre-listing research). Schedule the conversation to delegate it today. Let’s be better this week by giving ourselves the gift of rest—the rest that comes from truly trusting and delegating to capable people.
