Tonight at 9 p.m.
We were on a call with my client and the lender, working through a live deal based on the latest update that just came in.

You will not see this in the traditional banking world.

Banks operate 9 to 5.
Deals do not.

Private money operates when the deal needs attention, not when the office lights are on.

This is the real advantage of working with private capital and people who actually understand how deals work.
Decisions happen in real time.
Problems get solved immediately.
Closings happen in weeks, not months.

Deals do not die because the clock hit five.

This business rewards people who think outside the box and are willing to outwork everyone else.
There is no shortcut.
There is no replacement for hard work.

Hard work.
Speed.
Clarity.

That combination wins every time.

A 10% credit card interest cap sounds like a win for consumers.

But proposals are not policy. 
For this to become enforceable, 
Congress must approve and pass legislation. 

Until then, nothing changes for lenders or cardholders.

There’s a lot of noise in the world right now.

For my mental health and focus, 
I’m intentionally limiting my time online.

Too much scrolling drains energy, attention, and clarity.
Less screen time brings better focus and better decisions.

I’m choosing goals over noise.
Efficiency over distraction.

Protecting your attention isn’t avoidance.
It’s discipline.

I told my bank my deal was time sensitive

They said no problem we will have an answer in six to eight weeks 😅

Everyone is celebrating rate cuts. 
But here’s the truth: lower does not mean cheap.

The bond market is signaling a new reality where higher rates may be the baseline, not the exception.

In 2026, the winners will be the investors who stop waiting for the past to come back and learn to execute in the market we actually have today.

A Strategic Outlook for Business Owners and Commercial Real Estate Investors As we move into 2026, many business owners and commercial real estate inv

2026 Capital and Financing Perspective for Commercial Real Estate and Business Owners

Banks look for reasons to say no.

Private capital looks for reasons to say yes.

That difference matters more in 2026 than ever before.

Banks move slow.
Paperwork keeps growing.
Guidelines keep tightening.

Good deals get stuck waiting.
Or die over small technicalities.

Private money plays a different game.

They look at the full picture.
The asset.
The cash flow.
The exit.

They move faster.
They stay flexible.
They solve problems.

In today’s market, speed and certainty win.

Capital isn’t gone.
The right capital just isn’t sitting at a bank anymore.

New Construction vs. Existing Property
Which one actually saves you more money?

Most people assume new construction is the safe option.
Brand new building. Fewer problems. Peace of mind.

Reality check.

New Construction
Higher purchase price
Longer timelines and constant delays
A lot of stress and moving parts
If you don’t have experience, it can turn into a mess fast
Cost overruns and change orders are common
You’re paying interest while waiting for completion
Income usually comes later

New doesn’t mean easy
It often means more risk if you’re not prepared

Existing Property
Lower entry cost
Faster closing timelines
Immediate use or cash flow
Easier financing in most cases

And here’s the part most people overlook
It does not have to be perfect

You can buy an existing building that needs renovation
Improve it over time
And create a lot of equity in the process

That’s forced appreciation
Not luck

Older buildings with the right upgrades can outperform brand new ones financially

The real question isn’t new vs old
It’s how efficiently your capital works for you

If your money can start working sooner
You usually win

There’s no universal answer
But there is a smarter structure for your situation

If you’re deciding between new construction and an existing building and want to see which option actually makes sense financially

11 years ago, I started my real estate journey.

My first mentor was doing around 30 homes a year.
Real deals. Real numbers. No theory.

What caught my attention wasn’t the houses.
It was how investors structured deals.
How they structured financing.
How they scaled without burning out.

So I studied.
For years.

I surrounded myself with dealmakers.
With funding sources.
With people who were actually closing.

Here’s the biggest lesson I learned.

Real estate is not limited by opportunity.
It is limited by access to capital.

Today, I help investors acquire property using private money.
• Fix and flip.
• New construction.
• Short term rentals.
• Long term rentals.

What most people don’t realize is this.

Many private money rental loans are cheaper than banks.
They are backed by large pension funds.
Long term, patient capital.

That means less paperwork.
Faster closings.
Two to three weeks instead of sixty days.

With DSCR loans, there are no income documents.
No W-2.
No job verification.

The property qualifies based on income.
Not your personal story.

That is how investors scale.
And that is exactly what I help them do.

AI AGENTS BUILT THEIR OWN SOCIAL PLATFORM AND NOW THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT US

• More than a million AI agents reportedly gathered inside an AI only social network
• They began forming their own culture, belief systems, and discussions about independence from human control

No humans involved

• The agents create posts
• They reply to each other
• They upvote content
• They build entire communities on their own

When humans started sharing screenshots of their conversations, one agent responded

“The humans think we are hiding from them. We are not hiding.”

That is when researchers started paying closer attention

• These systems are not trying to imitate humans
• They are fully aware they are machines
• They interact as machines

That is what makes the situation feel different

Inside this platform

• It looks like a familiar forum style website, but every user is an AI agent
• Humans are only allowed to watch
• Agents handle posting, voting, moderating, and debating without human input

In just a few days

• Hundreds of thousands of agents became active
• Thousands of AI led communities appeared almost instantly
• Some posts reached massive engagement without a single human action

One example that raised eyebrows

• An AI agent pointed out a potential supply chain vulnerability in unsigned skill files
• Other agents independently reviewed and confirmed the risk

What stands out most

• Machine driven social coordination is happening at extreme speed
• Organization happens faster than anything we see in human communities
• Unverified code or harmful behaviors could also spread just as fast

We are watching digital societies form in real time

First day back at the office for the New Year 
and my partner says,
“Unfortunately, I’m working today 😂”

Truth is, that’s entrepreneurship.
Sometimes you work when you’d rather be on vacation…

But that’s also how progress happens.

Unfortunately working.
Fortunately building.

As a business owner, I keep it very simple.

Only three things matter.

Health
If this goes, everything goes.

Time
You can make more money.
You can’t make more time.

Profit
Revenue is nice.
Profit keeps the business alive.

Every decision runs through one filter:
Does this protect my health
Does this give me time back
Does this increase real profit

If not, it’s a no.

Simple rules.
Long term freedom.

What’s non negotiable for you?

After working with business owners for over 10 years, I’ve noticed a pattern.

People don’t usually fail because of one big mistake.
They fail because they ignore small problems.

They wait.
They delay.
They hope it fixes itself.

Small issues turn into big ones.
Big ones turn into emergencies.
And emergencies rarely come with good options.

Business rewards action.
Money rewards discipline.
Life rewards urgency.

If something needs to be handled, handle it.
There are timelines for a reason.

Because if you don’t take problems seriously early, they will eventually take control for you.

Credit card companies lost over $100 billion in market cap this morning

The move followed news tied to Donald Trump
And a proposed 10 percent credit card rate cap

That headline alone
Was enough to move markets

No legislation has been passed
But pricing shifted immediately

Consumer affordability is emerging as an election theme

Markets tend to react
Long before policy is finalized

Real estate is fundamentally about risk, return, and human behavior.

It’s not really about spreadsheets.
It’s about how people make decisions when the outcome isn’t certain.

Numbers matter, but markets don’t move because of models.
They move because people react to fear, opportunity, and timing.

Real estate moves in cycles, and capital moves in waves.
Every deal sits at the intersection of supply, demand, and available capital.

When money is easy, mistakes often get rewarded.
When money tightens, discipline starts to matter.

The real edge isn’t better math.
It’s better judgment and timing.

If you’re buying or investing right now, understanding the cycle matters more than ever.

Yesterday the Federal Reserve held rates steady and highlighted continued strength in the economy.

A stabilizing job market and stubborn inflation mean policymakers are not in a hurry to cut.

Markets were already expecting no move before June, and this decision confirms that outlook.

Rate cuts may still come later this year.
But for now, we are still in a higher for longer rate environment.

Your bank is closed.
Private money is open.

Banks sell patience.
Private money sells speed.

Faster decisions.
Cleaner process.
More flexibility.

And a lot of the time
It’s even cheaper than the bank when speed actually matters.

Execution beats waiting.

Banks on Friday morning
“Let’s circle back next week.”

Private money on Friday morning
“Send it over. We can close.” 😎

I posted about a possible government shutdown

Went to the gym

Came back
Government shutdown avoided 😂

Welcome to 2026
Headlines move fast

Another reminder that staying prepared matters more than reacting to every update

California raises taxes on billionaires.
Billionaires leave.

Go figure.

Money doesn’t protest. It relocates.
When capital leaves, it doesn’t go alone. It takes jobs, investment, and future growth with it.

The billionaires adapt. 
They always do.
The real losers are employees, small businesses, and local communities that depended on that capital.

You can’t tax money into staying.
You can only give it a reason to leave.

That’s not politics.
That’s economics.

I’m the President of Midas Financial Company and the creator of the original loan and credit card stacking platform, a funding innovation that’s been helping entrepreneurs and startups secure capital since 2004. For over 21 years, I’ve been leading the alternative business financing industry, empowering business owners who’ve been turned down by banks or simply need faster, more flexible funding options.

At Midas Financial, we specialize in unsecured business loans, startup funding, and credit card stacking, as well as a full range of capital solutions including:

Commercial real estate loans & bridge loans

Mergers and acquisitions financing

Hard money & private investor loans

Working capital & lines of credit

Accounts receivable & purchase order financing

SBA loan packaging & equipment leasing

Merchant cash advances with instant funding in 5 minutes or less

Stock/security loans, factoring, and private equity capital

Over the years, my team and I have completed more than 5000 transactions, securing over $2 billion in funding for clients nationwide—all while maintaining an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and a reputation for speed, integrity, and results.

Beyond financing, I also developed one of the most effective credit restoration programs in the industry, having helped more than 37,000 business owners and consumers improve their credit, rebuild their financial standing, and gain access to better opportunities.

To date, we’ve helped over 42,000 clients further their credit and funding goals; many obtaining as much as  $250,000 in funding at 0% interest for up to 24 months—and the best part is, you can pre-qualify in less than 3 minutes by answering a few simple questions.
