Let’s talk wealth-building with a smart, steady approach—real estate. You might know Stephen Ross as the owner of the Miami Dolphins, but he built his wealth on real estate long before owning an NFL team. And here’s why that matters: buying quality stock and buying a home in a strong, growing market can help you build generational wealth. Look at Apple—if you’d invested in 2020, your returns would have nearly quadrupled today. Real estate works similarly. With inflation here to stay, owning property is one of the strongest hedges, and it can protect your wealth while helping you build financial security over time.

Thinking of moving up in the world—literally? Quick nugget to chew on: By 2030, 40% of single-family homes are expected to be in the pockets of big institutional investors.

I'm not saying this wealth-building hack is a one-size-fits-all, but isn't it worth a little sleuthing to see if it fits you like a glove? And yes, I’m here to guide you through it. SPOILER ALERT: We're talking a teeny, tiny down payment (think 3.5 to 5%) and using the income from your current home to qualify for your next. 🤯 Why not share this juicy tidbit? Slide into my DMs, and let’s crunch those numbers with my ‘buy & retain’ strategy. Let’s make your next move your best move!

At K Street Capital, we’ve had 13 exits, and most had an earn-out attached. Only once have we seen one of those earn-outs actually get fully paid out to date. In this episode of High Stakes, Richard Leggett and Tom McCormick deep dive into how buyers use earn-outs to inflate the headline number. The bottleneck? Earn-outs rarely pay off. They can work when there’s a real valuation gap, like pending IP approval. But when tied to operational results, especially months or years out—it’s a recipe for conflict. All this & more in EP 15 of HighStakes. Link in the comments.
