They couldn't talk about money without it ending in silence.

Both earning six figures.
Beautiful house.
Kids in great schools.

And they hadn't looked at their accounts together in two years.

"We just handle our own stuff," she told me. “It's easier that way."

But easier wasn't working.

She was moving money to savings he didn't know about.
He was stressed about money but didn't want to seem worried.
Both were making decisions in isolation.
Both assuming the other had it handled.

I see this more than you'd think.
Successful couples who've turned money into the third wheel of their relationship.

Too charged to touch.
Too important to ignore.

So they danced around it:

She'd quietly pay for soccer camp before he noticed the email.
He'd handle the roof repair without mentioning the cost.
Both adding to their separate savings 'just in case.'

Amazon packages arrived without discussion.
Investment statements stayed unopened.
Tax time meant handing everything to the CPA and hoping for the best.

They could plan entire vacations without mentioning the budget.
Navigate private school applications without discussing the tuition.

Two successful people.
Living one life.
Never actually talking about how to pay for it.

We didn't start with a budget.
(That would've been like handing them firecracker.)

We started with one question:
"What does financial success look like for your family?"

For the first time in years, they heard each other's actual fears.

She wasn't hoarding money.
She was terrified of her mom's story repeating.

He wasn't being careless.
He was exhausted from feeling like the safety net.

Once they could see each other's why,
the how got so much simpler.

Now they have monthly money dates.
15 minutes. One dashboard. No judgment.

She texted me last month:
"We actually high-fived after paying the tax bill. Is that weird?"

Not weird at all.
That's what happens when money stops being a battleground
and starts being something you build together.

→ What's the one win you and your partner have celebrated together this year?

The $45K question that changed my client’s life 

 

She had $194K sitting in cash.
VP salary.
All the "right" financial pieces.

But she couldn't commit to starting her own business.

"I need another year of savings first."

We ran the numbers.

$45K to launch her consulting firm today.
Or wait another year while that dream compounds into regret.

Then I asked her the question:

"Would 65-year-old you pay $45K to watch 42-year-old you bet on herself?"

She went quiet.

We both knew the answer before I even asked.

Because future you isn't celebrating (all) the extra cash you hoarded.

She's thinking about the business you never started.
The clients you never helped.
The version of yourself you never became.
Wishing she could go back and shake younger you who played it too safe.

The women I work with don't have risk problems.
They have permission problems.

Maybe you've saved six months of expenses.
Maybe it's two years.
Maybe you're still building.

Doesn't matter.

We all wait for some guarantee that says "now it's safe to leap."

That guarantee doesn't exist.

What does exist:
Your ideas sitting in notebooks.
Your expertise waiting to be shared.
Your impact delayed by another year of "preparation."

She launched her firm six months ago.
Hasn’t replaced her corporate salary yet.

That takes time no matter what people promise you. 

But more importantly?

She stopped waiting for permission to become who she already was.

Because 65-year-old you doesn't care about the perfect financial moment.

She cares that you trusted yourself enough to try.

The math already works.
Future you is waiting for you to believe it.

→ What would you start tomorrow if you knew future you already knows the outcome?

Your portfolio doesn't need to be perfect to start living.


I had a client wait three years to book her dream Italy trip.

Three years.

Not because she couldn't afford it.
She had $300K invested and growing.

But she kept thinking she needed "just a little more" first.
Another $50K.
Another year of returns.
Another bonus cycle.

You know what finally changed her mind?

Running the actual numbers.

Not the scary story in her head.
The math.

We looked at what the trip would actually cost her long-term.
$15K today versus $45K in retirement (with growth).

Then I asked her:
"Would 65-year-old you pay $45K to give 40-year-old you this memory?"

She booked it that afternoon.

Because waiting for "enough" is a moving target.

There's always another goal.
Another milestone.
Another reason to wait.

But your life is happening now.
Your kids are only young once.
Your parents won't always be able to travel.
You won't always have the energy you have today.

The women who build real wealth?

They don't wait for permission from their portfolio.

They plan for both:
→ The life they're building for tomorrow
→ The life they're living today

One without the other isn't wealth.
It's just postponed living.

Your money should fund your life.
Not the other way around.

→ Where are you planning to travel in 2026? 🗺️

The biggest money mistakes don’t come from bad decisions.


They come from waiting too long to make one.

From that little voice that says,
“What if I mess this up?”
So you stall. 
You Google. 
You hold.

Not because you don’t care.
But because you care too much.

And when you’re earning more, that pressure gets louder.

Every move (investments, stock options, taxes) suddenly feels like it carries more weight.
More risk. 
More room for regret.

But confidence doesn’t come from knowing everything.
It comes from being in motion.

From creating a plan that moves with you 
so your income, investments, and taxes talk to each other. 

When everything’s working together, you stop overthinking.
You stop waiting for “perfect.”
And, you start leading your money with intention.

Because the real mistake isn’t getting it wrong,
it’s staying frozen in fear of what might happen if you move.

→ What’s something that helps you get past analysis paralysis?

Most people think money problems come from not having enough.

They actually come from not having it connected.

You can earn six figures, max out your 401k, have investments growing...

And still wake up at 3am wondering what you're missing.

Because when your money lives in silos:
→ Your cash doesn't know what your investments are doing
→ Your investments don't talk to your tax strategy  
→ Your tax moves happen in isolation from your income

So you end up with:
Cash piling up while you're scared to invest it.
Investments growing while you pay unnecessary taxes.
Big tax bills because no one connected the dots.

Every account doing its own thing.
Like roommates who never talk.

I see this constantly.
Smart women with all the "right" pieces.
But nothing working together.

One client described it perfectly:
"I have all these accounts but no actual plan."

She was right.

When your money starts working as a team,
when every piece knows its role,
when your income, investments, and taxes actually coordinate...

That's when the noise quiets down.

You stop second-guessing every move.
You stop wondering what you're missing.
You stop feeling like you're working against yourself.

Because wealth isn't built in isolation.
It's built in connection.

→  If your accounts were roommates, would they be best friends or total strangers?


PS - To those who served and their families: your sacrifice created the freedom for all of us to build these lives we're planning. Thank you. 🇺🇸

She sat on $400K in cash for three years.

Watched the market go up.
Watched inflation eat away at it.
Read every article telling her to invest.

Still couldn't do it.

Why?

Her dad lost everything in 2008.

And even though she was earning $250K a year,
even though she knew the math,
she couldn't shake that image of him at the kitchen table.
Staring at statements worth nothing.

Her brain knew better.
Her body remembered different.

It took us six months to unpack that.

Not the investing part.
The trust part.

We didn't start with asset allocation.
We started with what safety meant to her.

Turns out it wasn't about the market at all.
It was about control.

So we built a plan that gave her both:
→ Ten months expenses in cash (not the six everyone recommends)
→ A 5 month CD she could see and understand
→ Index funds portfolio but only after she felt ready

The first investment was $15k.

She texted me that night:
"I keep checking to see if it's gone."

It wasn't.

Three months later, she moved another $50K.
Then another.

Now she's fully invested with a plan that makes sense.
Not because I convinced her.
But because she convinced herself.

Sometimes the smartest financial move
isn't following the perfect strategy.

It's honoring where your fear comes from
and building something you can actually stick with.

→ Fill in the blank: 'My parents always said _____ about money, but I've learned ____

Most people focus on the wrong part of wealth.


You’ve probably been told to:
→ Earn more
→ Find the “perfect” investment
→ Chase the next tax hack

And sure, those things matter,
but they’re only half the game.

The other half?
Getting your money to work together.
(That part’s closer to 70% of the game.)

When it doesn’t, here’s what happens:
→ Cash piles up without purpose
→ Tax time becomes surprise season
→ Every decision suddenly feels heavier than it should

But when everything starts talking,
your income, investments, and taxes
you finally see what’s working, what’s not,
and what to tweak before it snowballs.

That’s when money stops feeling chaotic.
It starts feeling led.

Because earning more without direction isn’t wealth.
It’s just juggling with nicer props.


💰 Right now, do your finances feel like teamwork or more like a group project gone wrong?

Sometimes the worst time to travel is exactly when you should.

Had a client text me her photos yesterday.
Barcelona with her family to visit friends instead of their traditional Thanksgiving plans.

Six months ago, she almost canceled it because her husband had been laid off.  
"Maybe we should wait until things are more settled."

They'd saved for this trip for two years.
Between their emergency fund and his severance, they had enough.
Not perfect "sleep-like-a-baby" money.
But enough.

The thing is, when life feels uncertain, "enough" never feels like enough.
You want to hoard every dollar.
Just in case.

But, they had the funds.
They had the time.
They had everything except permission.

I asked them one question:
"In 10 years, will you regret going or regret waiting?"

They went.

Her text yesterday:
"The kids are already asking when we're coming back."

Some moments can't be recreated.
Some windows close.
Some "next years" never come.

Your accounts will never give you permission.
That's not supposed to come from a spreadsheet.
That comes from you.

As we head into December, maybe it's worth asking:

What have you been putting off that your future self would tell you to do today?

→ What's your "Barcelona" that keeps getting pushed to next year?

"Are we missing something?"


I hear this from people who already have financial "help."

They've got investments. They've got someone managing things.

But that nagging feeling won't go away.

Had a client come to me with $2.5 million in an annuity.
She'd put in $325k twelve years ago and $40k every year after. 

"It's been fine," she said. "I just haven't looked at it much."

Twelve years.
Her whole life had changed.
New job. Kids in college. Different dreams.

But that money was still sitting in 2013.
Stuck in a product someone sold her once and forgot about.

When we looked at everything?

That annuity hadn't made sense for her in years.
Nobody was handling her taxes.
Her ex-husband was still on her estate plan.

She had money. She had investments. She had "help."

Spread across seven different logins she could barely remember.

What she didn't have was someone looking at how it all worked together.
Someone asking "what else could this be doing?"
Someone who'd catch what everyone else missed.

We restructured the annuity to actually work for her current life.
Found $32K in annual tax savings she didn't know existed.
Got her ex-husband's name off everything.

She texted me last week:
"For the first time in years, I'm not wondering if I'm doing this wrong."

That's what my clients pay for.
To stop wondering.
To know someone sees everything.
To trust that the important stuff isn't getting missed.

Because the real cost isn't what you pay for planning.
It's living with that constant question mark.

→ How many passwords did you have to reset this year?🙋‍♀️

"I'm tired of being my own CFO."

She said it on our intro call last week.

VP at a tech company.
Two kids.
Six-figure income.
Doing everything "right."

And exhausted.

Not from her actual job.
From her second job: managing money.

The Sunday account login sessions.
The 11pm Googling "RSU tax strategies."
The group texts asking colleagues what they're doing.
The constant feeling that everyone else has it figured out.

Sound familiar?

You're running a household, killing it at work, raising humans...

And somehow you're also supposed to be your own:
→ Investment advisor
→ Tax strategist  
→ Estate planner
→ Risk manager

All while making dinner and answering Slack messages.

I see this all the time.
Brilliant women treating their finances like another project to manage.

Building spreadsheets that impress their team.
But still feeling behind.

Because being smart doesn't mean you should do everything yourself.

You wouldn't perform your own surgery.
You wouldn't represent yourself in court.
You wouldn't cut your own hair.
(Well, 2020 aside.)

So why are you trying to be your own financial team?

The women who build real wealth?

They don't DIY everything.
They delegate what drains them.
So they can lead what matters.

Your time is worth more than the hours you're spending trying to figure this out alone.

Your energy is worth more than the stress of second-guessing every decision.

Your peace is worth more than proving you can do it all yourself.

The $12K question she almost didn't ask. 


She'd been sitting on it for three months.

"Is it too late to do anything about my taxes this year?"

We were on a call last week.
Six weeks left in 2025.
And she thought she'd missed her chance.

(Most people think tax planning ended in April.)

But when we actually looked?

We found $12,000 in deductions and retirement space she hadn't used.

→ Charitable donations she forgot about. Medical expenses that actually crossed the threshold. That advisor fee from January.

She thought she'd maxed out her 401k.

→ Turns out she had $8,000 of space left.

The underperforming stocks in her account became a tax strategy.

→ We sold them to offset the gains from her RSUs.
(The tax savings alone made it worth it.)

Those last two December paychecks became an opportunity.
Perfect time to fix her withholdings.

All of this disappears on January 1st.

The question saved her $4,800 in taxes.

I see this constantly in November.
People suddenly realizing there's still time.

Time to use those tax strategies that expire December 31st.
Time to top off retirement contributions.
Time to balance out investment gains.

Six weeks isn't the end of your financial year.

It's actually when some of the best moves happen.

→ You checking your stuff before year-end?

P.S. - Want to know what moves you could still make? Reply with 'MOVES' and I'll send you what I'm telling all my clients right now.

Having someone manage your investments isn't the same as having a plan.

I hear it constantly:
"I already have someone."

But then they follow it with:
"I still handle all the tax stuff myself."
"I'm not sure if I should exercise these stock options."
"We never talk about anything except the portfolio."

You have someone managing one account.
Not your financial life.

When April brings a surprise $20K tax bill, when RSUs vest with no clear strategy, when you're running private school numbers alone?

That's not in their department.

I see this all the time.
Smart women with "help" still playing CFO.

Still coordinating between:

Still coordinating between:
→ The person who handles investments (but not taxes)
→ The person who handles taxes (but not planning)
→ The estate attorney (from 2019)

Everyone managing their piece.
No one managing the whole picture.

One client put it perfectly:
"I have a team but no quarterback."

She had all the players.
But she was still calling all the plays.

Real planning connects everything.

Your investments know about your tax situation.
Your tax strategy considers your equity comp.
Your estate plan actually reflects your life today.

Because you shouldn't need a spreadsheet to track who handles what.

You need one person who sees it all.
Who connects it all.

That's the difference between having investments managed and having your life planned.

→ What would you do with your time if you weren't playing financial coordinator?

"You need a partner as your backup plan."

If you're single and tired of hearing this, you're not alone.

You smile politely. Change the subject. 

But inside, you're screaming: 'I'm not broken. I don't need fixing.

I get how this feels. I didn't meet my partner until I was 41.

The truth is, you don't need a backup plan.

Whether you're single by choice, divorced, widowed, or just haven't met someone yet - the math is the same.

Your plan needs to fit where you are now, not where others think you should be.

My single clients may need a higher target to retire comfortably.
While their married friends may split that number between two people.

And if your situation changes? We adjust.
Your plan evolves with you.
But right now, today, we plan for the life you're actually living.

The math is different.
The questions are worse.

"What does your husband think?"
Asked by the realtor. The financial advisor. Your aunt at Thanksgiving.

Each time, you explain. Again. That it's just you.

And watch them try to figure out if that's sad or brave.

"Maybe wait until you're married?"
(You've been waiting. For the house, not the spouse.)

Meanwhile, you're out here buying homes, starting businesses, and building wealth without waiting for someone to split the check.

You don't need a backup plan.
You need a bulletproof one.

Yes, there are nights when you run the numbers and feel the weight of carrying it all yourself. 

When you wish someone else could make the hard calls. When 'independent' feels like a nice word for 'alone.'

Your emergency fund does need to be bigger.
Your insurance does need to be stronger.
Your retirement does need to be fuller.

Not because you're alone.
But because you're planning for your own security first.

And that's not sad.
That's powerful.

Some of my clients stay single. Some partner up later. Some are starting over.

Doesn't matter where you are now.

What matters is having a plan that works for today and can grow with you tomorrow.

Real Estate Fund Manager | Simplifying Hands-Free Returns with Risk-Mitigated Real Estate Investments | Champion of Lifestyle Freedom for High-Income Professionals 🌴 Costa Rica

You’re excelling in your career but craving more — greater freedom, flexibility, smarter investments, steady returns, and more time with family.

→ You’re not interested in leaky faucets or late-night maintenance calls, but you’re drawn to the stability of real estate.

→ You value your capital and want to grow it — without unnecessary risk or guesswork.

→ You love your work but want your money working harder so you can live life on your terms.

I didn’t grow up poor, but I wasn’t “buy-whatever-you-want” rich either.

I craved the kind of freedom only well-positioned money could buy.

So I got to work.

Real estate sales by day — growing from $0 to $400K/year in under four years.
Managing my family's multifamily portfolio by night.

Then I discovered something more powerful: wealth isn’t just about how much you make — it’s about how well your capital works for you.

After 20+ years in multifamily real estate, private lending, and deep exposure to limited partnerships, I built Hylee Capital — a private investment firm that helps high-income professionals access vetted, institutionally-backed real estate deals designed for long-term growth and capital preservation.

We now live in a surf town in Costa Rica — ocean walks, slow mornings, and my 3 little ones in tow 🌴

This lifestyle wasn’t handed to me, it was built through real estate.

What I Offer:

→ Access to top 1% alternative investments in prime U.S. markets
→ Strategies to help you build generational wealth and hands-off income streams
→ Direct insights from my experience as both an LP and a fund manager — investing my own capital alongside yours

If you're a high-income professional ready to stop trading time for money — and want a transparent, risk-aware approach to building lasting wealth — we should connect.


FAQs

POV: You’re a high-income earner… but still stuck in the grind.

You’ve built the career.
You’re earning $300K, $500K, maybe more…

But you’re still trading time for money.
Still stressed about taxes.
Still trying to invest smart without adding more to your plate.

Here’s what I help my investors do differently:

• Prioritize passive income over earned income
 • Partner with elite real estate operators in high-growth markets
 • Use tax strategies to keep more and pay less
 • Stop chasing the next deal (instead, compound long-term wealth)
 • Buy back time to focus on what truly matters

They don’t want another job.
They want more time freedom, simple deals, and transparency.

And that’s exactly what we build, together.

Wealth isn’t earned - it’s engineered.


We’re closing out the final tranche of our energy fund. Last year’s fund is already delivering 15% cash flow and tracking a 36% IRR—and this year, we’re buying the dip. If you're looking for passive income, strong returns, and smart timing… DM me “ENERGY” and I’ll send the details.

Before you invest in 2026, read this first:


I will make my money work harder. 
I will trust experts to manage the details.
I will prioritize cash flow and appreciation.
I will mitigate risk and increase my returns. 
I will choose proven strategies over speculation.
I will buy back my time for family, hobbies, and growth.
I will stop being the operator and start being the owner.
I will invest in risk-mitigated, high-growth opportunities. 
I will stop chasing complexity and start demanding simplicity.
I will use every tax advantage available to keep more of what I earn.

A year from now, you’ll look back and say - 2026 is when everything started to shift.

This isn’t just a mindset shift, it’s a new standard for how high-income professionals build wealth.

Next year will be the year you create real security by diversifying on your terms.

Want multiple streams of hands-off income (without managing a single property)?

Start here: https://lnkd.in/dgEmx6t5

Big confession: I care deeply about building a massive net worth
(but I’ve stopped pretending that’s enough)

The investors I work with (high earning, mega successful) are chasing something deeper:

A life they actually want to live.
(not just a bigger portfolio)

Here’s what I’m seeing more of lately:

1. Time is the ultimate flex

 • More hours with family, fewer on Zoom
 • Peace > prestige
 • Freedom is becoming the real ROI

2. Passive > active hustle

 • They’re not chasing 80-hour workweeks anymore
 • They want income that shows up without them showing up
 • Tech and access have made institutional-style investing mainstream

3. Simplicity > scale

 • Fewer moving parts, clearer strategies
 • One deal that does the work of ten
 • They’re done with the “more is better” trap

4. Now > someday

 • They’re done postponing joy
 • Their money works today (not just in 30 years)
 • They’re building wealth that fuels their life, not replaces it

Yes, net worth obviously still matters (I have a massive goal here)
But so do time, peace, and flexibility.

The investors I work with aren’t just stacking assets.
They’re intentional about living a good life.

Which of these shifts hits home for you?

If you’re earning strong income but want more leverage, more time, and a smarter way to grow your capital (without managing a single property) —

Watch this: https://lnkd.in/dgEmx6t5

Turn $100K into consistent cash flow — no tenants, no volatility, no extra work.
(Most people work for income. Investors earn it.)


Here’s what hands-off investing looks like when the deal actually performs:

1. Consistent cash flow, zero management

• ~$10,300 a year in passive income.
• 25-year absolute NNN lease (tenant covers everything)
• Rent increases of 2.75% annually

(This is income backed by a long-term contract, not market sentiment)

2. Real downside protection

• Facility produces 100% of the tenant’s EBITDA
• In plain language: strong income, backed by a business that can’t run without this building.

3. Tax benefits that matter

• Full 2025 bonus depreciation.
• Helps offset income while improving net returns
• This is where high-income investors see a real difference.

4. Truly hands-off

• No repairs
• No management
• No tenant turnover

Just a cash-flowing industrial asset doing the work for you while you focus on more important things.

5. Institutional track record behind the deal

•  Backed by sponsors with a combined track record of $230M in realized exits and 17.1% net IRR.
•  Not speculation. Not theory. A repeatable model with real durability.


P.S. I’m opening a small, final year-end allocation into this industrial deal (it’s fully spoken for - I secured a small slice). 25-year NNN lease, 10.3% cash flow, full 2025 depreciation. DM me INDUSTRIAL for details.

He started with a 7-figure stock portfolio and a question:


I’m tired of the market swings but don’t want to sacrifice growth just to play it safe.

After 17 years in tech, most of his wealth was tied to company stock and market-linked funds.

Every correction felt like a personal attack.
(every market rebound, temporary relief)

He didn’t want another moonshot VC play.

He was looking for predictable, tax-efficient cash flow (for proof of concept) so he knew something was consistently working in the background.

That’s where we began.

→ Reviewed his concentrated equity exposure
 → Built a hands-off income plan across private markets
 → Layered diversification by operator, asset type, and risk profile

His first move was an energy fund. 

(Not a 'put all your eggs here' play, but a proven income engine with real, realized returns)

Double-digit cash flow, tax benefits, oil & gas exposure.

(An investor’s $225K position in the previous fund has received over $50,000 in distributions to date in '25).

Backed by the same operator who’s delivered an avg. historical fund-level IRR of 46%.

Then we balanced this out with some real estate:
(clean, understandable biz model)

– Medical NNN real estate: 8%+ monthly cash flow and 16–20% IRR base case, with long-term leases to recession-resistant healthcare tenants.

 – 240-unit value-add multifamily in Charlotte, purchased at a 30%+ discount to peak pricing, positioned for rent growth and equity upside.

Three asset classes.
Three distinct return profiles.

One disciplined strategy: protect the downside and let the upside take care of itself.

Now income flows from energy, medical, and multifamily.

NOT risk-free (this is investing after all)
but steady distributions, tax-advantaged, and zero correlation to Wall Street.

We’re closing out the final tranche of our Energy Fund before the end of the year, and this is your last opportunity to participate before it closes permanently. No extensions will be offered.

DM me ENERGY if you’d like the overview.

(Accredited investors only)

I turn down 97% of deals that hit my inbox.

But when I’m invited to partner on an opportunity with true institutional quality… I pay attention.

Case in point:

I just got off a call with a team with $230M in realized exits and secured a small allocation into a 25-year absolute NNN industrial deal.

(tenant pays every expense)

It’s backed by a 125-year-old specialty metals manufacturer, operating out of a mission-critical facility that produces 100% of their EBITDA.

And it’s being acquired below replacement cost.

The operating partner behind the business oversees $1.2B+ across metals, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing.

(the level of team normally reserved for institutional capital)

Here’s what stood out:

• 10.3% consistent cash flow, paid quarterly for 5 years
• target ~$85K total profit on $100K invested
• 2.75% annual rent increases
• Mission-critical real estate with real tenant stickiness
• Full bonus depreciation for 2025

Here’s the truth:

Good investors don’t need more deals.
They need better deals.

Deals with downside protection.
Deals backed by operating history (not hypotheticals).

Deals that keep paying whether you’re on a Zoom or cheering at your kid’s tournament.

Deals that keep paying no matter what the market is doing.

If you’re an accredited investor who wants the overview, DM me INDUSTRIAL.

This will likely be my final allocation before year-end and it’s extremely limited.

$50K in cash flow on a $225K investment.
(That’s what hands-free, asset-backed income actually looks like).


Here’s how the Energy Fund is structured to perform 
(but also risk-mitigate) ↓

1. Real, cash-flowing assets

We’re acquiring producing U.S. oil fields (PDP) for immediate income, plus acreage for new wells (PUD) that compound returns over time.

2. Strong returns, with downside protection

Targeting 31.7% IRR, 29% avg. annual cash-on-cash, and a 9.12x equity multiple.

Acquired at a 25% discount to NPV and partnered with operators averaging 46.25% realized IRR across $200M+ deployed.

3. Factoring in volatility

 30–50% of production is hedged, so investors benefit from stability even in volatile markets.

 Protect the downside and let the upside take care of itself.

4. Tax-efficient by design

 Investors receive meaningful deductions through depletion, depreciation, and 100% write-offs on intangible drilling costs.

5. Hands-free income
 
With institutional oversight.
And ownership in one of the world’s most essential industries.

→ Predictable quarterly cash flow
 → Built-in risk-mitigation
 → True diversification

We’re opening the final tranche of 2025 soon
(and once it’s closed, this fund won’t reopen)

DM me ENERGY if you’d like the investor deck and full breakdown.

This week most people are off work.
(But their money is off too)

And that’s the real problem.

Passive income isn’t fully about getting rich,
It’s about buying time (like this week).

Time with your kids.
Time without Slack.
Time where your brain is actually off.

Real estate investors who get this don’t chase doors.
They also don’t 'need' to build empires.

They buy cash flow and time.

It’s not magic (or even really that interesting)

It’s simply structure.

Syndications.
Sponsors.
Strategy.
And discipline.

5 steps, that’s it.
That’s the blueprint behind their work optionality.

Meanwhile, others will go back to work Monday…
And ask where all their time went.

Ask better questions.
Build better systems.

You don’t need more money,
You need more freedom from constantly thinking about it.


P.S. If you want to see what this looks like in real life, I just opened a very small allocation into a 25-year NNN industrial deal (10.3% cash flow, institutional team, full 2025 depreciation). My last deal of the year. 

(It’s the exact type of hands-free, time-buying income I’m talking about here).

DM me INDUSTRIAL for details.

No day-trading or tenants. 
Just predictable, tax-advantaged income from essential energy assets.


$225K invested → targeting ≈ $50K target per year in cash flow.

Here’s how the Energy Fund is structured to perform ↓

1. Real, cash-flowing assets
We acquire producing U.S. oil fields (PDP) for immediate income,
plus development acreage (PUD) that compounds returns over time.

2. Strong returns with downside protection
 Target returns (projections):
 → 31.7% IRR
 → 29% average annual cash-on-cash
 → 9.12× equity multiple

Targeting acquisitions at discounts to NPV (prior deals at ~25% discounts).

Partnered with operators averaging 46.25% realized IRR across $200M+ of capital deployed.

3. Volatility, managed
 We target hedging 30–50% of production 
(a strategy proven effective across prior funds).

This keeps income steady even when markets move.
Protect the downside and let the upside take care of itself.

4. Tax-efficient by design
 Investors may receive significant deductions through depletion, depreciation, and intangible drilling costs
 (often up to 100% of eligible drilling costs), subject to individual circumstances and current tax law.

 It’s one of the most tax-advantaged income structures in the U.S.

5. Hands-free income
 Institutional oversight and ownership in an essential global industry.

→ Targeting steady quarterly cash flow
 → Built-in risk mitigation
 → True diversification

The final 2025 tranche of this fund is open.
Once it’s closed, Fund VII won’t reopen.

I got access to a deal this week that I haven’t stopped thinking about…
(Because it highlights something most investors completely miss)

Wall Street isn’t where the smartest money is going right now.
It’s flowing into long-term, contracted NNN industrial. 

The kind of deals that used to rarely (if ever) get offered to individual LPs.

25-year absolute NNN.
2.75% fixed annual increases.
Institutional private-equity backed.

~10.3% cash flow (~$51,500 over 5 years)
 1.85× EM (~$85,000 total profit on $100K)

But here’s the real headline:

Investors aren’t buying buildings; they’re buying time.

They’re buying income that shows up without tenants, toilets, or a single market swing to babysit.

The reason this matters is that real estate has been under pressure since 2022.

Interest rate hikes. Distressed assets on sale. 

Meanwhile…
Industrial NNN just kept printing predictable income.

Quietly and consistently.
Month after month.

And now institutions are doubling down on it.

(Because U.S. reshoring demand hit record levels: over 360,000 manufacturing jobs brought back since 2022, the highest ever recorded - driving long-term tenant stability)

But here’s what most people get wrong:
You don’t need to become a real estate expert to benefit.

Here’s where you actually win:

 • Your time should not depend on your calendar
 • Your wealth should grow even when you’re offline
• Your capital should earn hands-free, contractual income
 • Your deals should protect downside first, upside second
 • Your portfolio should reflect the lifestyle you’re building, not the market you’re reacting to

Do this, and you stop 'investing'.
You start compounding work-optionality.

This deal is one of those rare chances to do exactly that.
(and it's my last for 2025)

P.S. If you want the brief walkthrough of the deal - the numbers, structure, risk framework, comment INDUSTRIAL and I’ll send it your way.
