Real Estate Investing Genius "Helping property owners transition from active landlording to passive institutional wealth. 🏘️➡️🏢"

09/11/2026

Everybody is talking about the national numbers right now.

Pending home sales at a 25 year low.

Mortgage rates around 7.5%.

Headlines telling you the market is frozen.

Here is what I keep telling people.

Real estate is local.

A slow market does not mean there are no deals.

It means the deals look different, and you can still get access to great ones if you know where to look.

Last week I released a video breaking all of this down.

You can still watch it. Link in the comment below.

There are only a few weeks left in 2026.

Every year around this time I sit down, grab a coffee, and review everything.

What worked, what did not, and what I want the next year to look like.

In the Air Force we called it a debrief.

You do not wait for the mission to end before you look at the results.

Most of the people I talk to do the opposite.

They get busy, the holidays hit, and January shows up with the same income setup, the same tax approach, and the same real estate holdings as last year.

Then April comes, the CPA files what already happened, and the surprise bill arrives.

Here is the thing.

A lot of what you can do to change that has to happen before December 31st, not after.

So take an hour this week and be honest with yourself.

Review your income.
Do you know exactly where it comes from, and what happens if one source stops?

Evaluate your investments.
Are they doing what you need them to do?

Revisit your tax strategy.
Is it built for next year, or just for filing season?

Assess your real estate.
Is it working as hard as you are?

Plan your long term wealth.
Do you have a real plan, or just a hope?

If you cannot answer all five with confidence, that is not a failure.

It just means nobody has sat down with you yet.

That is what the Private Wealth Assessment is for.

45 minutes to look at what is working, what is missing, and what needs to change, while there is still time to act on it.

Do not enter 2027 without a plan. Link in bio.

Financial freedom isn’t about being rich. It’s about having options.

The option to say no to a deal that doesn’t fit.
The option to walk away from a job that drains you.
The option to spend a Tuesday with your family instead of in a meeting.
The option to wait for the right opportunity instead of taking the first one.
The option to retire on your terms, not because you ran out of choices.

Money doesn’t buy happiness. It buys choices, and choices buy freedom.

That’s why I focus on building assets that work for you, not just income that depends on you showing up every day.

Ask yourself: if you had to stop working tomorrow, how many options would you have?

Sunday reminder:

You can’t change your last mistake, but you can choose your next move.

Don’t let regret make your decisions.
Don’t let fear keep you on the sideline.
Don’t let past losses define your next deal.
Don’t let other people’s doubts set your limits.
Don’t let one bad day become a bad year.
Don’t let comfort talk you out of growth.

Learn the lesson, then move forward.

Your next move matters more than your last mistake.

Have a great Sunday.

When I started investing in real estate, I was still in uniform, serving full-time in the military, raising a family, and working toward something bigger.

I knew I didn't want my financial future to depend on a paycheck alone.

I wanted to build assets, create more options for my family, and eventually have more control over my time.

So I started investing while balancing military service, fatherhood, and all the responsibilities that came with both.

That journey eventually led me to build REI Genius and, today, work with investors through Lynum Capital Partners.

Now, I help investors explore DST opportunities, 1031 exchanges, and strategies to build long-term wealth through real estate.

I share my experience because I know what it's like to start while life is already busy.

You don't have to wait for the perfect time to start building your future.

If you're ready to explore your options, book a Private Wealth Assessment with me:

The best real estate opportunities aren't always where everyone is looking.

Texas and Florida investors, this episode is for you!

Next Wednesday on the Deal Makers Club, I'm joined by Richard Edison, a U.S. Army veteran with over 20 years of Wall Street experience who brought his financial expertise into real estate investing across Austin, Texas, and Florida.

We'll discuss:

→ What's happening in the Texas and Florida markets right now
→ How to identify emerging markets and find undervalued properties
→ Creative investment strategies, including condo hotels and DSCR financing
→ Raising capital, building relationships, and getting deals across the finish line

Real estate success takes more than knowing the market.

It's about recognizing opportunities and knowing how to act on them.

Wednesday, November 11 | 12:00 PM ET

Whether you're in Austin, Houston, Dallas, Tampa, Miami, or anywhere in between, join us live and bring your questions!

I have seen the 1031 Exchange change lives.

I have also seen it go wrong in ways that were completely avoidable.

Here are the three mistakes I see most often.

The 45 day identification window closes faster than most people expect and that clock starts the moment you close your sale.

Miss it and the exchange is over.

The second that money touches your hands the exchange is dead.

A qualified intermediary must hold those funds the entire time without exception.

Most investors start looking for a replacement property after closing day.

The ones who do this right come prepared long before they ever list.

The 1031 is powerful but only when it is executed correctly from the very beginning.

That conversation needs to happen before you list not after.

There are about 936 Saturdays between the day a child is born and the day they turn 18.

I thought about that one day, and it made me look at time differently.

During my years in the Air Force, I missed some of those Saturdays.

The mission mattered, and I was proud to serve.

But as I built my real estate portfolio, I started thinking about something beyond financial returns.

I wanted more control over my time.

I wanted to build income that wasn't tied to showing up for a job every day.

I wanted more flexibility to be present for my family and enjoy the moments that matter.

That's one of the reasons I got into real estate investing.

For me, financial freedom was never just about making more money or owning more properties.

It was about having choices.

Because the years go by quickly, and no amount of money can buy back the time we've missed.

Build wealth, but don't forget what you're building it for.

Your 1031 exchange needs a plan, and it needs to start before you sell your investment property.

One thing I always encourage investors to do is think beyond the sale.

Where will the proceeds go?
What replacement properties make sense?
Are you prepared for the timelines and requirements of a 1031 exchange?

These are conversations worth having early, not when you're already under pressure to make a decision.

As an advisor, my goal is to help investors understand their options, look at the bigger picture, and make informed decisions about their next investment.

Good planning starts with asking the right questions.

Early in my real estate investing journey, I thought gaining experience would mean fewer problems.

I was wrong.

Experience didn't stop the problems.

It taught me how to handle them.

I've dealt with contractors disappearing, budgets going over, and projects falling behind schedule.

There were moments when walking away seemed like the easier decision.

But every deal taught me something important: things won't always go according to plan.

How you respond makes the difference.

After more than 20 years in military service and years of investing in real estate, I've learned that staying calm under pressure is one of the most valuable skills you can develop.

You can't control every problem that comes your way, but you can control how you respond.

A successful investor isn't someone who never faces challenges.

It's someone who doesn't let those challenges make the decisions for them.

I bring that same discipline to helping high-income earners build wealth, make informed investment decisions, and pay less in taxes.

If you're ready to take a more strategic approach to building and protecting your wealth, let's connect.
