Everyone’s mad about 50-year mortgages…
but they forget the last decade where real estate doubled in value.

Debt isn’t the enemy, bad timing and bad mindset are.

Understand risk, reward, and opportunity cost.

Happy December 1st
The holiday season is officially here. 

Grateful for the blessings, the people, and the opportunities this year brought. 

Let’s finish the last month strong and start the new year even stronger.

Opportunity doesn’t wait for your savings account.
Some of the best deals vanish while people are still “trying to save up.”

A real estate investor I work with used business credit + an SBA program to close a property he thought was out of reach.

That asset now pays him monthly… while others are still waiting to have the perfect down payment.

The opportunity of a lifetime won’t last a lifetimebut it will go to someone prepared.

My goal is simple:
Give every client the best financing options available in the market.

People will judge you no matter what you do.

If you play it safe and try to please everyone, they’ll still have something to say.
If you take risks and go after what you really want, they’ll still talk.

So why not do what makes you happy?

When you follow your own path, you build something real.
When you live for others, you build regret.

They’ll judge you anyway.
So give them something worth talking about.

He didn’t win the lottery.
He didn’t have millions in the bank.

He just learned one simple truth.
Wealth isn’t about having money. It’s about knowing how to use it.

When he discovered creative financing, everything changed.
He used leverage to buy a property that now pays him passive income every month.

His tenants cover the loan. He builds equity.
That’s not luck.
That’s leverage. And anyone can learn it.

If you’re ready to stop trading time for money, start learning how to make money work for you.

Follow my page for strategies that turn funding into freedom.

If I do a job in 10 minutes,
it’s because I spent 10 years learning how.

You’re paying for the years, not the minutes.

Same rule applies to a finance broker.

Right now, banks are pulling back.
Approvals are down.
Cash is tight.

Yet some business owners still get funded.
Why?
Because they have a good finance broker.

There are over 7,000 banks and lenders in the U.S.
Each has its own rules, programs, and risk appetite.

You don’t have time to figure out who’s lending today.
Your job is to run your business.

A good broker knows where money is moving.
They know who’s funding this week
and how to structure your deal so it gets approved.

In this market,
a finance broker isn’t a luxury.
It’s survival.

Good news for business owners and real estate investors.

SOFR, the rate that influences how much it costs banks to borrow overnight, just dropped sharply.

In simple terms, there is now more cash in the system, which makes it cheaper for financial institutions to access short-term funding. This usually happens when the Federal Reserve is adding extra liquidity or when investors are moving toward safer assets.

What does this mean for you?
It means borrowing could soon get cheaper.

Lower short-term rates often lead to better loan terms, more flexible lending, and easier access to capital for businesses and real estate investors.

If you have been waiting for the right time to expand, refinance, or buy property, keep a close eye on this trend.

Liquidity is coming back into the market, and that is a signal of opportunity.

If you have a real estate deal and want updated loan pricing or options, my team and I are always available to help.

Trump just announced a $2,000 “Tariff Dividend”… but it might not be a check.

He says it’s funded by tariffs, not printed money and could come as a rebate, tax cut, or direct payment.

If that happens, over $400 billion could flood into the economy… fast.

That means short-term spending might jump, but so could inflation and interest rates.

Smart business owners and investors are already paying attention.

36.8% more sellers than buyers in October.
That’s not just a big number it’s the largest seller-surplus Redfin has recorded since 2013.

(528,000 more sellers than buyers overall.) 

Translation:
•  Buyers finally have leverage
•  Sellers are facing real competition
•  The “lock-in effect” is cracking

If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines to buy, the data says your moment is here.

If you’re thinking of selling in 2025, now’s the time to start preparing because this gap likely won’t last forever.

What’s your take turning point or head fake?

Senate passes 60–40 vote to reopen the government after a 40-day shutdown.

In finance, every day is a crazy day.
If it’s not crazy, it’s not normal something’s off.

Are there any lenders offering a second lien on a 1–4 unit investment property?

I’m checking options for a client.
If you can do this, comment or send me a message. 

Thank you in advance.

Friendly reminder…

If your commercial real estate deal isn’t set to close by December 20, there’s a good chance it won’t close in 2025.

Here’s why:

Banks slow down.
Underwriters take time off.
Title companies run short staff.
Year-end files get priority.
New deals get pushed into January.

And once you roll into January?

Everything takes longer.
Your deal gets stuck behind everyone who waited too long.

What people don’t see is how fast the industry slows down.

Underwriting, appraisal, compliance, title everything moves differently this time of year.

Knowing these patterns helps you avoid unnecessary delays.

A 36-hour Thanksgiving flight delay definitely wasn’t part of the plan but we still made it back to Chicago. 

Sometimes the journey tests you, but you keep moving forward.

Moments like these are a reminder that patience matters. 

Stay steady, stay positive, and great things will always find their way to you.

The worst deal Chicago ever made.
36,000 parking meters sold for $1.15B… now generating $200M per year for private investors.

They already made their money back and there are still 58 years left on the contract.

Wild.

What do you think? Was this the biggest L in city history?

Trucking companies and logistics operators… serious question.

Thanksgiving should be peak season. Rates, demand, volume all should be up.

But this year? 
The market is weak.

If peak season is underperforming, what happens in January when freight naturally slows down?

Curious to hear what you’re seeing in your lanes, pricing, and volume.

Our equipment department is seeing the same trend in this chart.

Almost two-thirds of heavy-truck applications have gone silent.
Buyers just aren’t motivated in this weak market.

And from the files that do move forward, nearly half get declined 
mostly credit or company-performance issues.

It’s a tough environment.
Lenders have very little appetite for anything that isn’t a strong file
