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!

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!!!

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.

What is Business? * Business is cooperation. * Business inspires all of us to work together, and to win together. * Business lets us manufacture in Singapore and ship to Barbados through locks engineered in Panama, financed in Switzerland. * Business enables each of us to specialize in a skill, and to convert our valuable output into currency. Through business, we can trade our currency with other specialists to get the things we need. * Business enables a physician in Nairobi to use a computer designed in Cupertino to order medical supplies conceived in Berlin from a factory operating in Shenzhen. * Business is Ubuntu, the Zulu word meaning "I am because we are." * Business links all of us together.
