Real Estate's Financial Planner | 25 Years Demystifying Retirement for Investors

You can retire sooner than you think.

But you need a few things.

-> A plan to reduce taxes (so you can keep more income)
-> A strategy to give you more time (so you can enjoy life more)
-> A roadmap to maximize your investments (so you can build generational wealth)

After decades advising executives, founders, and real estate professionals, I discovered the real issue isn’t a lack of strategy, it’s a lack of alignment.

That’s why I created the Wealth Edge Blueprint™, a complete, integrated system that helps high earners eliminate wealth leakage, build true financial infrastructure, and lead their wealth the same way they lead their business.

I help high-income entrepreneurs build wealth that actually feels like success.

1)By aligning your tax strategy, investment plan, and business structure into one cohesive system.
2)Eliminate hidden wealth leakage, bring clarity to your finances.
3)Help you create the kind of legacy you can feel now,not just later.

If your income is up but your financial life still feels scattered, this is the shift you've been looking for.

I asked a lender (who has originated $23,000,000,000 worth of commercial real estate loans) 3 red flags to avoid in a general partner.

Here's what he said:

𝟭) 𝘼 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧 (𝙂𝙋) 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙣𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡.

- In his opinion, a GP must provide capital in the deal.
- It’s this simple: If a GP has no capital in the deal,
- They don’t have your best interest in mind.

𝟮) 𝘼 𝙂𝙋 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙣𝙤 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚.

- You don’t want to hear what they promise.
- You want to hear what they’ve done.
- If they haven’t done very much, &
- They promise great returns?
- Run.

𝟯) 𝘼 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝟱+ 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨

- In his opinion, teams shouldn’t exceed 3 GPs.
- When there are too many partners on a team,
- He questions the team’s ability to manage.

There’s no need to take on unnecessary risk.

Dismiss all GPs with these red flags.

P.S. What would you add to the list?

Scenario 1: 
You placed $500,000 in Citigroup 20 years ago. 
Today, it’s worth ~$151,050. 

Scenario 2: 
You placed $500,000 in Citigroup 3 years ago. 
Today, it’s worth ~$1,000,000. 

Timing is everything right? 

Do you know who took advantage of that timing? 

Berkshire Hathaway. 

Berkshire Hathaway purchased 55.2mm shares in Citigroup in Q1 2022.
• They exited that position Q1 2025. 

Berkshire Hathaway owned 0 shares of Citigroup during the GFC. 

Berkshire did take their licks in the GFC. 

Namely Bank of America. 

But do you know what they did with their shares of BOA during the GFC? 

HELD THEM. 

They still own approximately 680mm shares of BOA. 

Honestly, it's incredible to see. 

Tried & true practices out there for everyone to see. 

What's your favorite lesson from Uncle Charlie?
What's your favorite lesson from Uncle Warren?

Mine? 

"Risk is not knowing what you are doing."

I've owned 0% of a $2,000,000 property. 

I worked my butt off for it too. 

I worked my W-2 while helping others build their wealth. 

It's part of most all of our journey's. 

Honest work. 

But after long hours trading time for money got me thinking...

"What if I was on the other side of the table?" 
"What if I was the owner?"

I asked myself those questions over & over. 
Until one day, I took that leap myself. 
The hardest decision I've made.

But you know what? 

It’s also the most fulfilling decision I’ve ever made. 
I’m curious to hear more about your journey. 
What set you on the path of ownership?

Vanilla Ice has 1,940,000,000 streams for all songs. 

He's also built a $20,000,000 real estate empire. 

Here's how he did it: 

1) Vanilla Ice initially had too much fun.  

• Vanilla Ice's real name is Rob Van Winkle. 
• With "Ice Ice Baby" topping every relevant chart.
• By age of 21, Rob was a bonafide superstar.
• Like many young rappers, he had his fun. 
• Mansions. Super cars. And jewelry. 
• Rob spent nearly everything. 

2) Hurricane Andrew changed everything. 

• In 1992, Hurricane Andrew devastated South Florida. 
• 1 of Rob's mansions was damaged in the hurricane. 
• Instead of hiring contractors, Rob renovated it. 
• That single renovation changed everything. 
• He ended up selling the home as a flip. 
• & began flipping homes full-time. 

3) Rob shifted his focus. 

• Rob flipped homes all through the 1990's. 
• Then, in the early 2000's
• With Rob's music career slowing down, 
• Rob started a construction company. 
• Leveraging his experience flipping. 

Leveraging his flipping experience, Rob has built a $20m net worth through business and real estate. 

LESSON: 

Rob did what many of us do when we start in real estate. 
He completely changed industries. 
For Rob, it was all about learning everything he could. 
From electrical, to plumbing, to finishing work. 
Rob started from the bottom. 
Like all of us. 

Whether you're Vanilla Ice, or John Smith, hard work is required. 

You cannot escape it. 

Knowledge matters. 

& the best way to gain knowledge? Do the work. 

What's your focus right now with your investing?

P.S. What's a better one hit wonder? 

A. "Who Let the Dogs Out?"

B. "Ice Ice Baby"

C. Other

My church is looking to buy a building in downtown Denver with ~1,000 seats.

• They're currently off Colfax.
• Across from East High. 

Our church is looking for an auditorium w/ ~1,000 seats.
& they're looking to stay around downtown.  
They're open to any & all options, 
but would prefer to buy. 

If you know a seller. 
If you know of a building. 
If you own your own building. 

& you think it could fit this criteria?

Please reach out. 

DM "Church" if you have a lead!

I cold called an investor (who owns over $25,000,000 worth of real estate almost all free & clear) to ask for advice.

Here's what he said:

"Real estate is all about satisfying the resident & reducing costs."

Seemingly contradictory statements.

But when executed well:

Crushes.

Here's his advice:

1) Buy units with more bedrooms.

- For him, he buys assets & holds them in perpetuity.
- He found residents stay longer with 2-3 bedrooms.
- This is true for dishwashers & washer/dryers too.
- Here was his point: anticipate their needs.
- Anticipate their growth in life (families).
- & provide them convenience.

As their family grows & they make more money, you have the capacity to support this.

2) Be vertically integrated.

In his opinion:

- The single greatest opportunity to reduce cost.

He wanted to maximize cash flow:

- He had a manager & went in 2 days/week.
- This increased his cash flow, which
- Afforded a better life style.

The conversation was over 40 minutes.

He was very gracious with his time.

(Probably because he afford it).

P.S. Curious to hear your favorite interactions on a cold call?
