Engineered Capital

Apartment Syndicator helping busy engineers and professionals diversify their portfolio from the stock market into real estate without the liabilities and headaches of a landlord.

Founder

I help Engineers make $ investing in apartments passively without Tenants, Toilets, Termites or Trash. No Loans, Liens or Lawsuits to worry about. Diversify from Wall St -> Main St.

Real Estate : John is a busy tech executive with a large portion of his portfolio in the stock market, and particularly in his company stock due to years of accumulating stock options. 

John wanted to diversify but didn't have time to take care of repairs, leasing, maintenance and potential liabilities with being a landlord.

So, John invested in 3 syndications with me, 2 of which have been bought and sold with returns exceeding initial projections. (Every deal is different and carries its own set of risks/rewards).

Oil & Gas: Due to the high interest rates in the past few years, Rita was hesitant to invest in real estate. I don't blame her. But she wanted the tax advantages from depreciation. So Rita invested in oil & gas instead, which can offset her W2 income with the 80% depreciation.

Technology startup : Jeff and I have known each other for over a decade, as electrical engineers. Jeff was not retiring for at least another 2 decades, and was looking for aggressive growth, and didn't need cash flow. He chose to allocate a portion of his investment $ in a technology startup.

One size doesn't fit all. As always, consult with your financial, legal and tax professionals like John and Rita did before making any investments.

"The more you make.. the more you spend" 

Will keep you broke like my friends

Anu and Dev have $500K hi-tech jobs, but are a paycheck away from disaster..

We were friends in college hustling through group projects and Ramen noodles

The success we dreamt of :

- A $2.5M home in Silicon Valley
- Fancy cars in the driveway
- High-paying tech careers
- Kids in private schools
- Weekends in Tahoe
- Instagram perfect

They have it made.. everything an immigrant could wish for in the American dream

However, their take-home pay after taxes is $300K.

Monthly expenses:

• Mortgage: $8.5K
• Property taxes: $2K
• Tuition for two kids: $6K
• Student loan payments: $3K
• Dining / Door dash: $1K
• Car payments: $2.5K
• Groceries: $2K
• Travel: $2K

Left over: $-2K

Lifestyle creep is a serious problem, my friends.

Remember : It's not what you make but what you keep that counts

Do you agree ?

All you people can't you see.. can't you see 🎶 

When you DM me, it feels so spammy

You never read my profile, 
you don’t even try,

I see those sales tricks 
from a mile-high sky.

Digital marketers, brand creators, 
you all sound the same,

But honestly, I’m not here
to play that game.

I don’t need your lending, 
insurance, or tax protest.

No mortgage brokers, 
please give it a rest!

Realtors, life gurus, 
sales experts galore,

I’m just not looking 
for those services anymore.

If I don’t already know you,
or we haven’t met 

Your chances are zero—
let’s not make a bet.

No pitch, no spam, just let it be,

‘Cause if you don’t know me, 
you won’t get my fee.

All you DMs can’t you see., can’t you see 🎶 

My business isn’t won 
by random pleas

If you want to connect, make it real,

Or your pitch will never seal the deal.

P.S. Have you been spammed on LinkedIn?

P.P.S.  Ever heard of Backstreet Boys?

♻ To help spammers spam less.. and the spammed to not feel isolated

99% of the times this is true: Success is better when it's shared
 
Helping others doesn't diminish your success,

If anything, it amplifies it!
 
Sharing has a boomerang effect.
And the world needs more of it!
 
Here's a dozen tips to help you navigate investments:
 
1) Invest only with someone you know

2) Be sure to understand the organization

3) It is ok to say 'NO' when you aren't ready 

4) Identify the decision makers and track record from unbiased sources 

5) Do your homework on the market, asset and team

6) Don’t compromise on your criteria - you’ll regret it

7) Investing is like stock trading.. avoid emotions.

8) A deal is only as good as the assumptions made.

9) Location matters, you cannot move the building! 

10) Invest only in ventures where the risks are acceptable 

11) What external factors can affect the projections?

12) The plan is to not lose money. 

But every investment carries that risk
 
TLDR:
 
Invest in haste. Repent at leisure.  

Do you agree?

People love the idea of having $10K+ in monthly passive income

But always think they'll start tomorrow.

Then they wake up 1,000+ tomorrows later and realize they never did.

- Get Educated 
- Commit to a deadline 
- Find a mentor 2 steps ahead 
- Take action. You’ll be glad you did 

That’s exactly how I did it
Plenty of struggles along the way 
Roof blown. Unit flooded. Apt on fire.

But if you persist long enough 
You’ll make it to the other side

Is it going to be 1 day … or day 1?

I was part of a massive layoff. 500 people.

The irony? I was a verified top-performer.

All my accolades couldn't save me, since the entire business unit was shutting down. 

It was a top-down decision that affected every single employee.

It felt like the corporate career I was building was taken away. 

10 years down the drain. In 1 mass email.

Shouldn't this be more humanized?  

Many other "top performers" were laid off too.

So what did I do?

1. I took stock of my financial situation.
 
2. I realized several of my expenses were just to support the job. Travel. Professional attire. Professional look (hair and nails). I could easily cut down on 25%.

3. My passive investment income was plenty to support my basic living expenses. I didn't necessarily "need" a W-2 income on top of this.

4. I doubled down on investing.

To anyone affected by layoffs and massive shifts in the market, my genuine advice is to start building an income independent of your W-2.

Build it before you need it.

Agree?

P.S. If you know anyone affected by the recent layoffs, send them this post. Appreciate your reposts.

Deal of a lifetime or a train wreck?

P.S. Did any of these tips surprise you?

Don’t mistake financial freedom for:

- More zeros and commas
- More cars in your driveway
- More luxury you don't need
- More sq footage in your home

This is just STUFF.

It doesn't make you happy.
It doesn't make you fulfilled.
It doesn't make you satisfied.

It just makes you want more.

Coming from someone who has achieved financial freedom over the last decade...

This is WHY you go after financial freedom:

🔹 Time with family that you can't buy
🔹 Freedom from a W2 paycheck
🔹 Trading desk time for travel 
🔹 Enjoying the short life we have

Time + Freedom = The Real Reason

Don't buy more stuff, buy more time.

P.S.  What is your favorite vacation destination?

Friday fun : fact or fiction ?

I post a ton of educational content
I post a lot of authentic stories 
I post many useful tips 

But this one story got the most reactions and messages of all 

Some friends knew exactly what this vehicle made/model was..

Do you think I bought this vehicle? 
Or simply posed next to it ?

Comment “bought” or “posed” below 👇🏽

Netflix is a $220,000,000,000 empire 

Powered by indecision.

They charge around $15 a month.

People keep subscriptions for years.

The kicker? 

Many spend more time browsing ..
than actually watching 😂

This is the magic of “choice overload.”

Why it works:

The endless library makes it feel like there’s always something worth staying for

The recommendation algorithm keeps you thinking your next favorite show is just one click away

FOMO kicks in whenever a new hit drops

Shared accounts spread the habit without extra cost to you

Canceling feels like giving up a VIP pass to the party

Netflix isn’t chasing maximum watch time per user.

They’re chasing maximum stay time.

That’s how they generate billions in recurring revenue while funding more content than anyone else.

The bigger picture?

They just need you to believe you might.

What other businesses quietly profit from you sticking around?

P.S. Amazon prime,  Netflix or both?

When I immigrated to the US, my dream was stability.

Today, it's stability + flexibility.

In 1990, when I made my way from India to the USA on a student visa, everyone kept talking about the "American Dream".  

The traditional path to financial independence with a W-2 job. 

Everyone was chasing the same goals:

1. Exciting career
2. Financial stability
3. A nice suburban home

Then, recessions happened. COVID happened. A lot has changed in 3 decades.

"Stable" is neither a goal nor a realistic possibility anymore.

In 2025, it's all about:

1. Flexible work hours
2. Financial variety (investments)
3. Flexible workplace / remote options

I wouldn't change my "now" to "then" for anything. 

The flexibility to spend time with my kiddos and my family. 

The school celebrations I can attend because my work hours allow me to pause from work.

Is this today's version of The American Dream?
