I deal with rejection by persisting, not by taking business elsewhere. My maximum comes from Samuel Beckett, a personal hero of mine: “Ever tired. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail better.” You won’t believe what you can accomplish by attempting the impossible with the

One thing I will never understand: People hating on others on social media. How mad do you have to be in this world to look at others and think, "This is a great thing to write and hopefully make their day worse." You have WAY bigger problems...

Sundays > The secret weapon for those who'd rather get ahead while everyone else is recovering from last night’s “networking.”

I don't know who needs to hear this: You do not need to have it all figured out before starting.

A question I get asked at least once a week: Is a University degree worth it? At a blanket statement (I like to avoid totalities). Is University the right path for everybody, NO. There are a couple analytical factors that you can view just from a monetary perspective. Look into

Finally starting to see a shift in deregulation from the HUD leadership. Buckle up.

Yields were a bit all over the place last week: They spiked early on after rumors surfaced that Fed Chair Powell might be pushed out, but started to fall once President Trump shot those reports down. Treasuries stayed pretty rangebound, with the 10-year dropping to around

Bonus depreciation lets real estate investors deduct huge chunks of property costs upfront, not over 27.5 years. That means more cash today, less tax owed. It levels the playing field for smaller players by turning "cash-poor" into "deal-ready". Not just for banks anymore.

While traveling, I met someone who told me something I’ll never forget: "When you're undecided, do what feels uncomfortable." That one line has quietly guided so many of my biggest decisions. Looking back, I can credit a huge part of my growth and success to embracing

I've started to realize that what drives most people my age doesn’t really drive me. The cars, the watches, the designer. They can keep all that. Me? I’m working to give my parents everything they’ve ever wanted.

Had dinner with a friend in his 30s, he said something that stuck: “Not everyone wants the same things. Some people are happy where they are.” He reminded me: be passionate, but don’t just go 100 mph, slow down and really understand what you’re doing. And above all, be kind.

The only sign that you are a high functioning adult with a chance to be successful: You develop hierarchies of priorities and make hard decisions, that have trade offs, to achieve them. That’s it.

I may not have children of my own, but if you do, please don’t forget to hug them a little tighter, and be present for them every chance you get. I recently volunteered with the Stuff My Bags Foundation, which supports children in the foster care system, and the experience was

Taking a step back to truly recognize your strengths in the workplace can be a game-changer, it’s like having a cheat code for your career.

Affordable housing is known for its diverse financing options, one of which is known as Tax-Exempt Bonds. But why T/E? In this specific case, the bondholders are the lenders. This means that the interest rate on a loan like this will be lower than commercial lending rates. Some

Multifamily investment jumped 33% year over year in Q1 2025 to $28.8 billion, the strongest first quarter since 2022. Net absorption hit a 25-year high, and vacancy fell to 4.8%. It’s a clear sign of renewed demand, YET softness in Austin, Phoenix, and Denver shows the rebound
