I hope you’ve enjoyed an amazing holiday season so far! We’ve spent the last few days in beautiful (but frigid) Montana reflecting back on 2021 and geeking out on 2022 goals. Here’s a 2-part recap of our highlights that you might find interesting or helpful as you think about 2022: Part 1 – Portfolio Action (working in the business) - Sold 4 properties (3 Seattle deals & Albertsons Shops in Tucson, AZ)
- Purchased 5 “Fixer” Commercial Properties in Greater Phoenix totaling 7.5m (should appraise for ~15m stabilized)
- Locked in long-term fixed rate debt on as many assets as possible (including our primary – did a loan mod with BofA rather than Refi)
- Invested with friends in Self Storage (New England), Mobile Home Park (Ohio), and Apartments (St. Louis)
- 10 leases signed (Boxing Gym, Preschool, Cosmetics, Nutrition Shop, Pizza, Brewery, Seminars, Gym, Titlemax, 3 SF rentals)
