Powerful Partnerships in Arizona
Greetings! This is Ray Hightower speaking to you from the great state of Arizona.
I just finished a quick run. Four miles and I'm headed back to work this afternoon here in Arizona, on a sunny December afternoon here in Arizona. I was thinking about partnership and collaboration and I wanted to give a quick shout-out to my partners on a few deals that I'm working on here in Arizona. Adrian Diaz and Colby Fryar.
My goodness, Colby and Adrian it's remarkable working with those two. We complement each other very well, of course, we're working on acquisitions, asset management, and capital raising together and we are collaborating and complementing each other very well. So I wanted to give a shout-out to them. I am grateful for them and for their drive.
We push each other hard and we're achieving together.
This is Ray Hightower. Be well!

My Partners and I Continue to Sift Deals for our Investors.
The market is exciting right now. We are very close to another deal. At the same time, you need to know that our due diligence process is strict, precise, and exact. If we find issues within a deal, we are willing to walk away.
We take our responsibility to our investors very seriously. We will only move forward on a deal if it serves our investors.
Be well.

Embracing the Marathon Mentality in Business
This morning's run got me thinking about my marathon later this year. Business, much like a marathon, isn't a sprint. It's about the long game. We must keep pushing forward, stay prepared, and never stop training.

What is Art?
Had the chance to tour NYC's Guggenheim Museum this summer. Walking through the exhibits caused me to pose a question that others have asked: What is art?
It's possible that a definition for the word "art" might be as challenging as a definition for the word "love".

Why Ask Why?
Adrian Diaz is a highly successful real estate investor, entrepreneur, and business leader. During negotiations or due diligence discussions, Adrian poses penetrating questions to get to the root of any problem we might be facing.
During a recent trip to Texas, Colby Fryar and I asked Adrian why he asks why. His answer: It's all about layers. When you ask why multiple times, you get to the root of the problem.

WHAT DO WE DO WHEN THINGS DON'T GO WELL?
We can give up. Or we can stop, think, observe, plan, and move forward.
Many of you know that I am in training for another marathon.
As an interim step, I registered for a half marathon in Queens, NY, USA.
Unfortunately, an old injury flared up and I did not complete the race.
Was I disappointed? Yep.
At the same time, I am viewing this as an opportunity "practice what I preach" about dealing with setbacks. Dealing with adversity.
Therefore, I am now focused on healing this injury and preparing for the next race. Stay tuned!

Scouting, Partnerships, and CRE Investing
The waterfront area of any summer camp is a place of great fun and great danger.
Commercial real estate investing is similar.
Great fun:
* Waterfront: Who doesn't want to go out on a boat, enjoying the waves (on a lake) or the rapids (on a river)?
* CRE: Who doesn't want to invest in a CRE deal with solid ROI?
Great danger:
* Waterfront: Better wear your life vest. And you'd better know how to swim!
* CRE: Better have strong underwriting on your team, along with asset managers and acquisitions specialists who know how to solve problems. And you'd better know how to navigate adversity and come out on top!
There are many parallels between waterfront safety and commercial real estate investing. I am grateful to the mentors who taught me so well, and I am grateful for the opportunity to pass lessons along to future generations.

July 4th Celebration at Scout Camp
I owe much of my career success to my experiences in the Boy Scouts of America. My parents, my brother, and many of my friends were all active in Scouting.
This week I’m camping with my Scout Troop in the Midwest. It is remarkable to watch the Scouts grow not only in height (they’re all taller than me) but also in maturity, leadership, and decision-making.
Happy 4th of July to all of you. Be well!

BEST & FINAL: KEEPING OUR HEADS
My partners and I are currently in a "best & final" round on a property here in Arizona.
Meaning: The seller and the brokers have invited us to duke-it-out with other buyers while they decide which buy-team gets to win the property.
It's very tempting to allow our emotions to drive the day. Everyone wants to win a property.
But we believe that it is more important for us to keep our heads in the middle of the best & final frenzy. Otherwise, we could end up overbidding, and thereby "win" a property that no longer makes sense for our investors.
We will keep our heads even in the midst of the best-and-final frenzy.
We continue to sift and underwrite other deals, 'cuz we never want to get emotionally tied to any one deal. Gotta let the numbers drive our decisions.
And yes, this is a lot of FUN!!!

Stewardship and Investor Capital
Earlier today, my partners and I were walking through a large multifamily property and we decided to pause the walkthrough five minutes in. Why? We knew that the deal wasn't a good fit for us. On-site inspection revealed that the property needed a lot of construction work, more than we're prepared to do.
We told the brokers exactly what we were thinking. And then we asked them: What else do you have? Now we're scheduled to walk another property a few days from now.
Our team is very focused on delivering value for our investors, residents, and all other stakeholders. Delivering value means sifting through many deals and saying NO when such a response is called for. In the end, we deliver the following for our investors:
* Capital Preservation
* Tax Advantages
* Solid Return on Investment
We enjoy being good stewards of investor capital.

Neighborhoods
As multifamily operators, we can attract the best residents by choosing neighborhoods where people feel a sense of community. Chatham, the area where I grew up in Chicago, always radiates a positive vibe.
