Too many smart investors miss out on real estate investing because they don't want to deal with the hassles of being a landlord. 

They often hesitate because:
> They don’t have the time or patience to manage properties.
> They don’t want the stress of dealing with tenants, toilets, or termites.
> They’re unsure how to find profitable, low-risk opportunities.

Although, we can't celebrate just yet! We still have MANY important milestones to accomplish. 

What do you think of the progress so far?

• Quartz countertops
• Stainless steel appliances
• Private balcony or patio 
• Smart locks & thermostats
• Full size washer & dryer
• Tile backsplash 
• Modern black windows

Amenities include: 

• Luxury rooftop patio
• Pet spa
• Bike room
• Fitness center
• EV charging stations
• Outdoor grill & fire pit area
• Indoor/outdoor cafe 
• Game area
• Work-from-home area
• Plaza area in front of retail space

The Elwood will be the premier place to live within the city and we are proud to be apart of this transformational community!

Most syndicators won’t touch construction

1 year of planning 
2 years of construction 
1 more year to lease up 

It's too complex.
It takes too long. 
It has too many moving parts.

This is exactly what I love about development: 
LESS competition 

Not many companies are willing to put in a huge amount of work upfront and wait years for the real upside...

This is where you find the real opportunity 💪

I had a call with a potential investor who thought preferred return = cash on cash return

I had to explain these are not the same thing...

7% preferred return DOES NOT mean you receive 7% annually.

The preferred return alludes to the precedence of limited partners receiving a specified return, BEFORE the general partners share in the profits.

A preferred return (Pref) is not a guarantee or claim that you will get X% in any given year.

How much (or how little) the project cash flows, will determine what you receive on a quarterly basis.

Pref and cash flow distributions are 2 completely different things. 

Did you know this before reading?

When I first started investing in real estate, I assumed the best opportunities had to be in the “hottest” markets.

The ones everyone talks about. 
The ones making the headlines.

Like Florida, Texas, or Arizona.

Boy, was I wrong.

After underwriting deals across multiple states and spending years investing here at home, one thing became clear:
Indiana quietly does a lot of things right.

And for passive investors, especially those who care about stability, predictability, and long-term wealth, that matters more than hype.

Let’s walk through why Indiana deserves serious consideration.

Why Indiana Is One of the Best States for Passive Real Estate Syndication Investors

Raising capital is never easy.
And it’s never something I take for granted.

Every commitment an investor makes is built on trust.

That trust is earned over time, through transparency, communication, and execution.

All investing involves risk.

But when you choose
• the right operators
• the right deals
• and the right markets

that risk is significantly reduced.

One thing I appreciate about Invest Clearly is the transparency it brings to our industry.

It’s a place where investors can read real, VERIFIED reviews from people who actually invested with a company.

I'm grateful for my investors who took the time to leave feedback and look forward to growing on this platform! Check out Invest Clearly if you haven't already.

Do you think this will be a great addition to downtown?

I almost quit
(on more than one occasion)

I was putting in a ton of work and still felt like NOTHING was working for me with real estate.

There were many years in my life where I was working full time AND going to college full time. 

My calendar was packed. My energy was drained. 

I barely had time to do anything fun, let alone slow down and enjoy life. Every week felt like survival mode.

At the same time, I was trying to build something better.

- I was looking for multifamily deals.
- Learning the process.
- Trying to understand how this business actually worked.

Every spare minute went to YouTube, podcasts, and books.

Early mornings. Late nights. Lunch breaks with headphones in. 

But I never saw any progress...

It felt like I was WASTING time.
❌ So I almost quit many times. 
❌ Almost went back to house flipping. 
❌ Almost switched to just buying businesses. 
❌ Almost switched to buying storage facilities. 

But I was wrong. 

✅ In reality, progress was happening slowly over time. 

Day by day it didn’t look like much. 
Week by week it felt invisible.
But month by month and year by year, you make progress. 

Most people quit right before their big breakthrough!

If you feel like you're stuck in a rut right now and not making any progress...this is your sign to keep going! 🚀

Returns work different in a typical development deal:

When you invest in ground-up construction, there’s no cash flow for the first year or so. 

Because the project isn’t stabilized yet.

So how do investors get paid?

Let’s break it down:

• Preferred Return:
> This is your “priority” return before the sponsor makes a dime.
> It accrues during construction.

• Return of Capital:
> Once the project sells, your principal is returned back to you.

• Profit Split:
> After your preferred return and capital is paid, the profits get split.
> Usually 70% to investors / 30% to the sponsor.

Example:
• You invest $50,000.
• No cash flow year 1.
• Small distribution year 2 as things stabilize.
• Pref is caught up at sale.
• Return of capital ($50k).
• Profits are split in year 3 at sale.

You end up receiving $85,782 when it's all said and done.

That’s a 1.72x equity multiple (you turned $50K into $85,782)

Which equals a 20% IRR over 3 years.

This is typically how most syndication returns are structured for a ground-up deal, but the numbers are just for an example.

Principal Fund Manager @ Oak and Vine Upstream Energy Fund | Real Estate Investing, Syndications

What if we lived on 10% and gave 90% away?

I’m an entrepreneur at heart and an alternative asset fund manager who loves educating faith-driven investors on how to invest in alternative assets like real estate and energy.

Can you multiply money and impact with your current investing strategy?

I’m on a mission to build a thriving business that propels generosity—helping investors multiply their income so they can multiply their impact.

I spent 15 years in ministry developing leaders and building systems that empowered people to thrive. Now, I help people invest, train leaders, and build scalable systems that create lasting impact.

… And I help leaders get the #TripleWin:

✅ Winning at Work – Building scalable, high-impact businesses
✅ Winning with Family – Creating financial freedom for the people they love
✅ Winning in Community – Investing in opportunities that serve a greater purpose

As the VP of Efficiency and Innovation at Rise48, I focus on:
→ Streamlining systems to help our investors and team operate at peak efficiency
→ Developing scalable processes to support growth and maximize returns
→ Optimizing investor experience so they can confidently invest in high-quality, cash-flowing multifamily real estate

As the founder of Oak and Vine Capital, I focus on partnering with world-class operators in the best asset classes. I’ve served as a General Partner and Managing Partner in multiple real estate and energy syndications. 

My mission is clear:
→ To invest in businesses that create Kingdom Impact and empower investors to do the same.

Let’s multiply your resources for greater Kingdom impact.

Principal Owner

I help people multiply their money and impact through passive real estate investing in commercial real estate and alternative asset syndications.

We closed out the year together in Phoenix at the Rise48 Christmas Party  a western-themed evening that brought our teams from Arizona, Texas, and North Carolina into the same room.

Not for meetings.
Not for metrics.
But for connection.

It was a night of conversations, shared stories, and time with the people who put in the work every day behind the scenes. The kind of environment where relationships deepen, trust strengthens, and culture is reinforced in real time.

Because great execution doesn’t start in spreadsheets.
It starts with alignment.
With shared values.
With teams who believe in the mission and in one another.

I left the event reminded of how far we’ve come as an organization and how much opportunity is ahead as we continue building, growing, and serving together in the new year.

Grateful for our teams, our leaders, and every person who plays a role in the work we’re doing.

What was one meaningful moment you experienced with your team last year?

No alternative text description for this image

I was terrified raising money for my first syndication.

Not surface level nerves.
Real fear.

Can I actually do this
What if I mess this up
What if people trust me and I fail

Up to that point, I had proven one thing.

I could buy a duplex.

But a syndication is different.
It’s not just your money anymore.

It’s a responsibility.
Stewardship.
Weight.

The McKinley project forced a new internal question.

Not “is this a good deal?”
But “am I ready to lead?”

Here’s what changed everything.

I stopped trying to do it alone.

I found partners I deeply trusted.
People with track records.
People with shared values.
People who were willing to say no if something felt off.

Then I focused on three fundamentals.

→ A growing market with real demand
→ A conservative business plan
→ Offering investors something better than what they were settling for

But the real work wasn’t underwriting.

It was identity.

I had to move from
“Can I do this?”
to
“I’m responsible to do this well.”

Once that clicked, the fear didn’t disappear.

But it stopped leading.

That first raise wasn’t about scale.
It was about obedience.
Preparation.
Integrity.

Looking back, the hardest part was never raising capital.

It was believing I was ready to carry it.

This week I’m unpacking the goals behind the deals.
And the mental barriers that came before the breakthroughs.

No hype.
No theory.
Just the real progression.

If you’re staring at your next step and asking
“Can I really do this?”

You’re probably closer than you think.

Follow along this week.

And next week
I’m opening a space to go deeper
Fundamentals
Mindset
Execution

More soon.

Would you rather play it safe
Or grow into the weight of responsibility?

(I've raised capital on 17 deals, and who you partner with is most important)

My little girl is potty trained after a holiday weekend potty training blitz! We used a secret weapon that I'm happy to share with you today.

The Potty Dance Song.

After successful poops and pees in the potty
we rewarded her with a special song.

we get down low, and sing

the potty dance
the potty dance

number 1
number 2

in the potty
(then we drumroll low to high)

and pick her up while saying
WAHOO

simple, and yet the smile gives it all away.

Should we put this to music?

What were some of your potty training tricks?

The hardest part of raising $1,000,000
Was believing I was allowed to ask.

Before that, I had raised $300,000.
Five investors.

That wasn’t small to me.

That was five families creating margin.
Five people accelerating toward freedom and impact.

So I set a new goal.
Raise my first $1,000,000.

And immediately, the doubts showed up.

I was working in ministry.
Different industry.
Different network.

I kept telling myself:

I haven’t earned the right yet
I need more touchpoints
I should steward the relationship better first

That belief almost stopped everything.

Here’s what finally clicked.

Asking isn’t pressure.
It’s an invitation.

You’re not asking for a yes.
You’re asking for interest.

Yes or no
Both are acceptable.

The real responsibility isn’t the ask.

It’s being prepared if someone says yes.

→ Clear education
→ Simple systems
→ The right team
→ A next step that serves them

Once I reframed that, the fear lost its grip.

God brought the connections.
Old relationships resurfaced.
New conversations opened.

Not because I was perfect.
But because I was willing.

If you’re stuck wondering
“Have I earned the right yet?”

You probably have.

And if you want help building the systems behind the ask
I’m teaching it live on Tuesday.

How to raise your first $1,000,000
And how to think about $10,000,000 next.

Link in the comments.

Yes or no
Is the fear more about rejection
Or believing you’re allowed to ask

I wanted my first real estate deal so badly.

Not because I wanted to be “in real estate.”
Not because I cared about titles or numbers.

I wanted it because my family was growing.
And because we were mentoring students who needed support.
And generosity requires margin.

At the time, I honestly didn’t know if I had what it takes.

I questioned myself constantly.
Am I capable of this
Am I thinking too big
Am I built for this path

That first goal wasn’t syndication.
It wasn’t raising capital.
It was owning our first duplex.

But behind that small step was a much bigger vision.

How do I create more capacity to give
How do I meet the needs around me
How do I steward what God has entrusted to us well

That single duplex changed how I saw myself.
Later came syndicating deals.
Later came raising capital for trusted partners.

But the hardest part was never the deal.

It was the mental question
Do I have what it takes

This week, I’m going to start breaking down my goals
And the mental challenges I had to overcome at each stage
Not theory
Not hype
Just the real progression

If you’re setting goals right now
Start with your vision
Not the tactic

Follow along this week as I share more.

And next week
I’ll be opening up something new
A space to go deeper
A forum built around fundamentals, mindset, and execution

More soon.

Most capital raisers talk about strategy.
The ones who scale focus on results.

That’s why we built the Fundamental Forum, a live working session for capital raisers and fund managers who want real frameworks they can apply immediately.

In recent conversations, we’ve walked through:
→ The blueprint to raise your first $1,000,000 with clarity and structure
→ How to build the systems required to scale toward $10,000,000+
→ Messaging, follow-up cadence, and relationship-driven capital flows
→ Lessons from peers who are actually in the market right now

Our next session is Tuesday, January 13th at 12 PM MST / 2 PM EST.

If you’re ready to move from effort to outcomes, this is the room to be in.
