45 sec Video from the TSMC Construction Site
The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) originally planned to put $12 billion into their new facility in Phoenix, Arizona. Last week, TSMC announced that they are upping their investment to $40 billion, more than 3x the original amount.
TSMC's electronic chips are in every device manufactured in the modern world: automobiles, refrigerators, musical instruments, security devices... the list goes on. Having them here in Phoenix is a big boost for the local economy and a big plus for multifamily investors. The biggest driver of success in multifamily investing: Jobs.

Arizona Investors Visit TSMC in Phoenix
Polly Cheng is a multifamily real estate investor and serial entrepreneur based in Southern California. She recently returned to the USA from Taiwan. When Polly visited Arizona this weekend, we took the time to visit the construction site for the new TSMC factory in Phoenix, AZ.
Why are we so excited about a chip fabrication facility? One word, jobs. Job growth is a leading indicator for multifamily return on investment.
What an exciting time to invest in Arizona!

Mayo Clinic is a powerful engine for job growth in and around Phoenix, Arizona.
At Bridgetown Partners, we buy multifamily apartment properties so we can fix them up and give people a great place to live.
How do we decide where to buy? We look at three key factors: Job growth, income growth, and population growth.
Job growth is the most important of the three. Job growth is a leading predictor of investment growth. When we buy in areas of job growth, we find a steady supply of rent-paying residents.
Everybody wins when we invest:
-Residents get a great place to live.
-Our investors get preservation of capital, tax advantages, and a solid return on investment.

Deal With Cancer Proactively and Aggressively
Nine days ago, surgeons removed my right kidney along with a baseball-sized cancerous mass.
Without a blood test, I never would have known about the mass on my kidney. I had zero discomfort and zero physical symptoms right up to the morning of my surgery on Jan 31, 2023. The blood test flagged a problem which caused my kidney specialist to recommend an MRI. And the MRI showed the baseball-sized tumor, clear as day.
Bottom line: Get your bloodwork done, and have the results interpreted by specialists in each area of concern. You never know what you might find. If you find problems soon enough, you could live longer and healthier.

Job Growth + Investing in Arizona
Cloud computing is a blend of my two professional passions: Tech and commercial real estate.
Of course "cloud" is just a fancy word for "somebody else's computer". Cloud data centers, like this one in Arizona, are a combination of tech, real estate, and high-paying jobs. High-paying jobs are great for local communities and multifamily investors.
When my team and I buy properties, job growth is one of the metrics we consider. Investors trust us with their capital, and we diligently prove ourselves trustworthy every day.

Asset Classes
Which commercial real estate asset classes are best for investment? My partners and I prefer:
Multifamily (including assisted living)
Self-storage
Industrial
Other asset classes can perform well at times. However, for our investors, we choose asset classes that enable us to deliver outstanding results in three areas (ranked by priority):
Preservation of capital.
Tax advantages, including bonus depreciation.
Return on investment.
If you’d like to know more about our thought process, check out the video or reach out to me via RayHightower.com. Looking forward to speaking with you!

Discipline + Muhammad Ali
Discipline is doing what we need to do even when we don't feel like doing it.
Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest athletes of all time. Ali was known to say that he didn't like training, but he loved to win. Therefore he was very disciplined in his training.
There are plenty of areas in my life where I could exercise more discipline. How about you?

Keeping our Heads in Travel Chaos
"If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you..."
~Rudyard Kipling
I'm at O'Hare Airport, headed home to Arizona after getting caught by this season's travel chaos. I like to fly Southwest Airlines. Two days ago, the airline cancelled over 75% of its flights due to inclement weather and a glitch in their scheduling system. The lines were long and some tempers got hot.
Yet through it all, the Southwest employees who I interacted with kept their heads. They worked on the problem. They shared information as it became available to them.
Yes, my departure from Chicago was delayed by two days. But in that delay, I was able to spend more time with my family and friends in Chicago. And since most of my work is remote, there was minimal impact on my business. What a blessing!
I do not have a complete picture of the cause of the travel problems this week. Still, I must take my hat off to the Southwest employees for the way they are handling a tough problem.
Happy New Year to all of you!

SpaceX: Capitalism Done Right
SpaceX HQ is located in Hawthorne, California, just south of the city of Los Angeles.
Before SpaceX, launching a satellite into orbit meant discarding a multi-million dollar rocket by dumping it into the ocean. SpaceX changed the game by figuring out how to land each rocket and re-use it. Thanks to the engineering and economic prowess of SpaceX, billions of dollars have been saved, and satellite deployment has been made more efficient.
SpaceX is a clear example of capitalism done right.

Solving the Rubik's Cube of Acquisitions
The Bridgetown Partners team goes through a ton of work when evaluating a property for acquisition. Some of the things we consider:
-Location. Is this an area with job growth, income growth, and population growth?
-Current rents. How do the rental rates compare with neighboring properties?
-Physical condition of the property and systems: Roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical.
-Financial condition of the property: Are the books and records in order? Are the leases correct?
We sift through tons of deals before we decide to pull the trigger on an acquisition. Sometimes it feels like solving a Rubik's Cube!
When an investor invests with us, we've already done a ton of work upfront to make sure the deal is sound. Our work ensures that your hard-earned capital is safe. It's not easy. And we love it!
