My friends call me "Mike the Points Guy" because I'm a bit of a credit card points hacker. I did not immediately realize how important this has become in my business until recently, but business owners like us have a huge leg-up on W-2 workers when it comes to points. Why? Well because it's not just our personal expenses that earn us points, BUT ALSO our Business Expenses! Therefore, let's begin! 1️⃣ Amazon Prime Visa First and foremost, many of us make A LOT of Amazon purchases for both ourselves and as you will find out, also for our businesses. Therefore the first card you should get is this one: The Amazon Prime Visa Provided by Chase This card has ZERO annual fee and provides you with 5% cash back on ALL amazon purchases. This is the HIGHEST cash back of any card I have ever encountered. Period. That's why I recommend this card FIRST. It's also provided by Chase, and what you guys will realize through your teachings with me is that I am a huge fan of Chase Checking for both Personal and Business use. More on that later, but suffice it say that Chase makes it easy to have ALL of your accounts in ONE place, make transfers and payments easily between accounts, and pay balances with both your persona and business checking accounts, not to mention pay vendors through Zelle for NO FEE. 2️⃣ Robinhood Gold Card This is likely the ONLY other card you should ever need again. Why? Because it offers 3% back on EVERYTHING! This is legitimately impossible with any other card. Even the Chase Sapphire Reserve and the Amex Platinum only offers 3% back on certain categories. At this time I believe you have to have a Robinhood Brokerage Account to get access. Yes this is an extra step, but I promise if you trust me, it'll be worth it! In the meantime you can also sign up for the waitlist for the card.

Post i stole from linked in: GPs are still raising capital like it's 2015: • Generic track record deck • Quarterly letters no one reads • Placement agent intermediaries • Zero direct narrative control LPs, customers, and talent make decisions based on narrative. The market has shifted. LPs aren't just underwriting returns anymore. They're underwriting platforms, people, and theses they believe in. If two GPs have identical IRRs, the ones who can articulate their: • Market conviction • Operator relationships • Differentiated approach • Compelling point-of-view They’ll win the allocation. All because of storytelling. “But I don’t know what or how to say it.” Not true. You have better stories than most Fortune 500 companies: • Why you see opportunities others don't • Your thesis on where markets are heading • How you built relationships that create deal flow • The infrastructure you've built to compound over cycles Write them down. Share them consistently. Build an audience. Are you building a narrative strategy or just updating slides?

By fixing broken windows and removing graffiti in neighborhoods with high crime.... crime was reduced..... Utilize this theory when turning around parks. Specifically with POHs you can fix and SET THE EXAMPLE for the rest of the community. This was something initially brought to my attention by @Ryan Narus , then again by @Kyle Grimm , AGAIN by @Dekel Saati who actually underwrites refurb for TOH when he takes over parks. It works. Be the change you want to see in the world. I am seeing it in real time at Brighton Court MHP and so is @Tiernan Laue

Hey guys- I'm looking at 2 small parks (23 pads total) sold together. - Sellers own 20 of 23 HOA “units” (all TOHs, $425 lot rent). - 3 resident-owned units pay $200/mo HOA fees. - HOA run informally by sellers, no HOA capital reserves. My concerns: 1. HOA admin burden & liability 2. Lengthy foreclosure process (rather than eviction) needed for non-paying owners 3. No reserves = big repairs would fall all on me 4. Refi/resale challenges with the HOA format Numbers look good, but ownership format feels risky. Has anyone run into this before? Worth pursuing or hard pass? Thanks!
