As mentioned last week, I'm currently under contract on an Industrial / Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS) property about 20 miles from Boston, MA. I've kicked off my due diligence process, and I figured it would be helpful to shed light on the costs and process in general. PS: If you want to see my real estate deals, quarterly updates, and new CRE opportunities, join my RE Investor List. When buying CRE, you cannot cheap out or do half-assed due diligence. To successfully execute a deal, you...

For entrepreneurship to be worth it you need to make 2-3x the money you could at a job. Many will disagree with me, but frankly, I think it's a cope to justify their decision to hang their own shingle. I truly think many would be happier working for somebody else. Entrepreneurship culture glamorizes the good parts but doesn't touch the bad parts. When things are good you're on top of the world, but when things are bad it can feel all-consuming. There's a premium that makes dealing with the...

I'm so bullish on industrial in New England, this newsletter issue shows why.I'm also bullish on cash-flowing SMBs. Entrepreneurs from Harvard, Stanford, Penn, etc. are personally guaranteeing SBA loans to buy and operate companies.

Hey Everybody! A quick note from our sponsor: SMBackers A Stanford MBA is synonymous with venture capital and burning millions (or billions) in the pursuit of product market fit, but not when it comes to my friend Jackson, he's hooked on cash flow. He's created a proprietary search fund syndicate that places equity into cash-flowing SMBs acquired by MBAs from Stanford, Penn, Harvard, and a few others. His thesis revolves around backing really smart operators with big personal guarantees to...

Over the last 8 months, We've scaled BoldSEO from $0 - $165K per month in revenue. I'm going to share exactly how we did it. My backlink agency, Brightline Media was cruising along at about $50K per month and had become a great asset for me and my family. Around March 2023 I was ready for a new challenge and made plans to sell it. On the day of closing (6/30/2023) the buyers had a problem -- they had no cash. So I decided to team up with Nick Huber to create BoldSEO. Our goal is to create a...
