Why “Time in the Market” Beats Timing the Market 📈 Trying to “time the market” sounds smart in theory — buy low, sell high, and repeat. But in reality, it’s nearly impossible to predict the market’s best days. Here’s some perspective: From 2000 to 2020, the stock market’s annualized return was 7.5%. But if you missed just the 10 best days in those 20 years, your return would have dropped to only 3.4%. Those critical days are unpredictable, which is why staying invested over time matters more than perfectly timing entries and exits. One proven strategy that supports this approach is Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA). It works like this: Invest Consistently — Contribute a fixed amount at regular intervals, no matter what the market is doing. Remove Emotions from Investing — No more stress or second-guessing “when” to buy. Spread Out Risk — By investing steadily over time, you reduce the impact of short-term market swings. This isn’t just limited to the stock market — it’s also true in real estate investing 🏠. While real estate doesn’t have the same daily ups and downs as the stock market, it’s still a long-term game where patience and consistency often pay off. ⚠️Don’t hear what we’re not saying. ⚠️This doesn’t mean you’re careless with your investment strategy. You still need to vet your deals and operators. Discipline, patience, education, and understanding are still key, and are far better than prediction and luck. So, if you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to invest, remember that time in the market beats timing the market. How have you approached your investment strategy?

Tidings of Comfort and (Rate) Joy? 🎄📉 The FOMC meets on December 18 to deliver their final interest rate decision for 2024. Will the Fed gift us another rate cut, or will they hold steady to close out the year? Right now, 85% of traders are betting on a 25-basis-point cut, but the decision hinges on some key factors. Here's the latest: 🔍 Labor Market Highlights Job Growth: November saw 227,000 new jobs added, bouncing back from October’s rough 36,000 jobs. Unemployment: Ticked up slightly to 4.2%. Wages: Hourly earnings increased 0.4% month-over-month and 4% year-over-year, both just above expectations. 📈 Inflation Trends Overall CPI: Up 2.7% over the year ending in November, a tick higher than October’s 2.6%. Core CPI: Held steady at 3.3%, with monthly growth at 0.3% for the fourth straight month. Housing Costs: A major factor, though gains are softening. Rent and owner-equivalent rent rose 0.2%, the smallest increase since 2021. 💬 What’s the Fed Thinking? Chair Jerome Powell has hinted at caution: “Growth is definitely stronger than we thought, and inflation is coming a little higher. The good news is that we can afford to be a little more cautious as we try to find neutral.” 👉 So, what’s next? What do you think? Will we close out 2024 with another rate cut, hold steady, or see a twist no one expects? 🤔

As 2024 comes to a close, now’s the time to reflect on your past investment strategies and plan for the year ahead. Real estate remains one of the most reliable ways to build long-term wealth—and for many investors, real estate syndications are a fantastic way to access these benefits without the hassle of managing properties directly. If you're looking to make the most of your investments in 2025, here are a few key things to consider: Review Your Portfolio Diversification 🎯 Take a moment to assess your portfolio’s balance. Are you overly concentrated in stocks or bonds? Real estate can provide great diversification, helping to reduce risk and enhance your overall strategy. Maximize Tax Benefits Before Year-End 🎯 Real estate offers unique tax advantages, such as depreciation and 1031 exchanges, that can reduce your taxable income. Talk with your tax advisor about how to leverage these strategies for your unique situation before the year ends. Learn more about tax advantages in real estate here: https://lnkd.in/g-vmNd9N Align with Your Long-Term Goals 🎯 Where do you want to be in 1, 5, or 10 years? Real estate can help you achieve consistent cash flow, long-term appreciation, and portfolio diversification. Whether you’re looking to be an active investor or prefer the passive route, like syndications, think about how these elements fit into your broader wealth-building strategy. Assess Market Trends & Opportunities 🎯 Market conditions are always shifting. Keep an eye on interest rates, inflation, and emerging opportunities in high-growth markets. For a snapshot of real estate trends on the rise, check out this article: https://lnkd.in/gNQ4zjWm. Set Your 2025 Investment Strategy 🎯 The new year is a great time to define clear investment goals.

🚨 Big News for Businesses: Nationwide Block on the Corporate Transparency Act On December 3, 2024, a federal court in Texas issued a nationwide injunction stopping the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). The CTA was designed to combat financial crimes by requiring businesses to report their beneficial owners to a federal database. While the goal was transparency, the law faced criticism for imposing steep compliance burdens on small businesses and raising privacy concerns. The court’s ruling cited key constitutional issues, including federal overreach and a misalignment of the law’s purpose with Congress’s authority. For now, businesses have a reprieve from these reporting requirements. ⚖️ What’s Next? The injunction is temporary, and appeals are expected. Higher courts will likely determine the CTA’s future. For now, businesses should: ✅Pause compliance efforts. ✅Safeguard any submitted information. ✅Stay tuned for updates. Let’s keep an eye on what happens next! In the meantime, who are all the procrastinators out there rejoicing? Give us a 🙋♂️🙋♀️!

Nick Shaffer This post sums up so much of what we’re thankful for this Thanksgiving too. 🌟 To everyone who’s part of the ODC story—you inspire us every day. Wishing you all a happy and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving! 🍂 #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #OpenDoorCapital #Teamwork #RealEstateInvesting
As we enter the most thankful time of the year, here are 5 things I’m grateful for after two and a half years serving on the Open Door Capital Team under Brandon Turner and Mike Williams. 1. My team - The people you rub shoulders with on a daily basis will either help or hurt you, I am surrounded by like-minded individuals who push me to learn and grow constantly. I would argue that your direct team has more of an impact than the actual company you work for! Is your team helping or hurting your perception of the company you work for? 2. Our Investors - As an IR Manager, I interact with limited partners every single day. Each investor has a different story and purpose in talking with you. At ODC, our investors are undoubtedly the best in the industry. I could talk for hours about the stories and experiences that investors have shared with me but there is not a day that goes by where I do not learn something from an LP. This “contagious” learning is an amazing and unexpected perk of my job at ODC. 3. ODC’s Leadership - As an “employee” in the earlier half of my career, I wholeheartedly believe in working to learn, rather than working to earn. Getting to learn from Brandon Turner and ODC’s executive team over the years has been invaluable in developing the skills and experience necessary to work in Investor Relations. If you are not learning daily, how can you expect to get better? 4. ODC’s Core Values - In my industry, company culture is often overlooked as the focus is almost exclusively on investors and deals. While my job is to ensure my team is equipped and investors are informed, the culture of the company is hugely important in motivating and retaining top talent. I could talk about this for a long time, but my favorite value at ODC is “Relentless Improvement”. It’s simple, no matter what, we are going to improve and get better. As long as this is true, time is on our side. The longer we work, the better we get, the higher the goals we can set in the future. Every day, we get better and better until we can’t be beat! 5. Real Estate - At ODC, our investors are almost exclusively individual real estate investors, like myself. Many of them have a similar story: "I listened to Brandon on the BiggerPockets podcast, I’ve acquired 10+ units and now I want to buy my time back." That’s the beauty of Real Estate, if you do it long enough you can actually buy your time back. It’s a pleasure to help convert investors’ active rentals to passive investments designed to deliver “mailbox money” that requires no time. If you are investing in Real Estate, how are you getting cash flow in today’s market? Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to all!

Big goals can feel overwhelming, but real progress happens one small step—or one rock—at a time. 🪨 Check out to this powerful reminder from our founder Brandon Turner. 👇

There’s a story of a man in Ireland who needed to move a rock fence. Instead of stressing over the massive project, he simply picked up one 20-pound rock, carried it across the field, and set it down. Then he repeated the process. By the end of the day, he didn’t move the whole wall at once—but he moved 200 pounds, 20 pounds at a time. Whether you're building financial freedom, launching a business, or mastering a skill, you need to stop trying to move the "big wall" all at once. Focus on the next rock. What’s the one thing you can carry today?

Solution to the Affordable Housing Crisis? Housing affordability remains a significant challenge across the United States. Today, over a third of American households spend more than 30% of their income on housing alone. According to recent Pew Research Center findings, nearly half of renters and over a quarter of homeowners face this financial strain. 🔺With a persistent national housing shortage and elevated interest rates, affordable options are increasingly scarce for many. Mobile Home Communities There are approximately 43,000 manufactured housing communities in the U.S., providing homes to over 22 million residents—just over 6% of the nation’s housing stock. At ODC, affordable housing is central to our investment strategy. Mobile home communities present a practical solution for the nearly 40% of American workers who earn less than $20,000 per year. By focusing on these communities, we’re committed to providing quality, cost-effective living options, creating a lasting impact in each place we serve. Since inception in 2019, ODC has focused on mobile home communities. We’ve acquired over 6,700 units across 14 states by refining our processes and selection criteria. Improving management and infrastructure in these communities is key to our approach, but we also see substantial value in infilling additional homes. This practice allows us to maximize value by filling vacant lots, creating win-win opportunities—residents gain a new place to live, and the community thrives. Despite rising costs for mobile homes and infill, they remain substantially more affordable than traditional single-family homes. The total cost of a mobile home, including setup, can be under $100,000, while the average U.S. single-family home now exceeds $400,000. Our criteria for investment are rooted in our ROLLS strategy: - Resident-Owned Homes: Aims to give residents equity in their homes while we maintain the community and collect lot rent. - Opportunities for Infill & NOI Growth: Boosts long-term value, benefiting both residents and investors. - Large Enough for Management Efficiencies: Ensures the community can support full-time management. - Location: Focus on populated, stable, and growing markets (MSA +100k, job growth, business-friendly). - Sub-Metered Utilities: Keeps operating costs manageable. This strategy aligns with our goal of building sustainable communities that serve residents’ needs while delivering long-term value for our investors. Impact Beyond Investment While our investment strategy and outcomes matter, so does the positive impact we have on residents’ lives. Whether it’s stocking a food pantry, helping after a natural disaster, or hosting back-to-school events, our actions are driven by our core value: “good people doing good.” 💬 What are your thoughts on the future of affordable housing?
