Investors don't just hear your words. They hear your certainty, or the lack of it. In the Q3 2026 Burns + CRE Daily Fear and Greed Index, just 37% of commercial real estate investors expect to increase their CRE exposure over the next six months. That's the lowest share in the survey's history. Think about that. The person across the table is carrying hesitation before you say a word. Conviction doesn't need to be defended. It moves rooms. Your assignment this week: record yourself for 60 seconds answering "What are you working on right now?" Watch it back once. Write down one thing you'd change. When you sense skepticism in the room, what happens to your voice? Source: CRE Daily, "Q3 2026 Burns + CRE Daily Fear and Greed Index," Sep 8, 2026. credaily.com

Hello everyone. I’m Jason Jackson, an aspiring real estate investor who lives in Palm Bay, Florida. I’ve been in the semiconductor fabrication space for the past 29 years and am in the process of converting that w2 to a 1099 full time. My primary goal is to build a real estate empire that will sustain job optionality and time freedom as well as provide a foundation for my wife and children to have an unencumbered future. Thanks to my time in the Navy and my semiconductor career, I have been fortunate enough to have circumnavigated the globe 2x and have walked on 5 of the 7 continents. I’ve lived in Italy, Singapore and the US.

It has been a year and a half of learning and networking for @Kristin Arledge and I. Trying to navigate through the weeds to find my path and where I’m supposed to be. There’s a reason why things happen the way they do and in the sequence that it happens in. For me! It was getting introduced to the powers of real estate via Syndications! Just like most of us here, it blew our minds 🤯! There are sides to real estate and ways of execution that we of course were oblivious to. Wealth! The position that real estate can put you in when building your wealth building is powerful. We felt like we found our lane as capital raisers. We then quickly connected with other capital raisers and teams and eventually met with @Yonnick and Marichel Matthews. Our first conversation, we were on the phone for almost 4 hrs it might’ve been longer! Never in my life aside from falling asleep on the phone with my wife while I was overseas or even falling asleep on the phone with friends when I was in middle/high school because those phone minutes were free after like 7pm lol, never have I ever been on the phone with anybody that long. Either they were just very gifted at holding conversations with strangers and very personable or we actually had a genuine connection with some great people and the fireworks were going off the whole time. Either way we felt the connection between them and us. We went full steam ahead and joined the program! Best decision we could’ve made. The confidence that they instilled in us, the focus, the way to love and build together, and how to be comfortable being yourself in uncomfortable situations are all things I took from @Yonnick and Marichel Matthews and some 😁! All these skills and experiences I gained I am truly grateful for. For me though I didn’t want to stop there. Wealth encompasses so much, and real estate is a component of the wealth building journey. I am the type of person who needs to get to the source. The thing that drives people to wealth is MONEY. I need to now go learn that and be a master in that. Which then God introduced me to opportunities in the financial industry to become a Wealth Advisor.
