Hey Family, Huge thank you to everyone who tuned in for our first ever ClosersKlub Book Club livestream! We had a few technical hiccups (thanks for your patience), but we pushed through and set the tone for what this journey is all about: elevating our habits to elevate our lives. We kicked things off with Atomic Habits by James Clear—diving into the Intro + Chapter 1, and unpacking the foundation of lasting change. Highlights from the Livestream: 1. Why Habits Matter: Ever wonder how two people from the same household can have completely different outcomes—one an addict, the other a millionaire? Habits. Small choices, repeated daily, shape who we become. 2. What is an Atomic Habit? - Atomic: Extremely small, but the source of massive energy. - Habit: A regular practice or automatic behavior triggered by context.

Fix the inputs, and the outputs take care of themselves. • The Valley of Disappointment Progress isn’t linear. Like melting ice, nothing seems to happen until the breakthrough. Don’t quit too early. Identity-Based Habits: Forget goals like “I want to lose weight” or “I want to save money.” Start with who you want to become: “I am a healthy person.” “I am a disciplined investor.” Your habits shape your identity—and your identity reinforces your habits. “To change who you are, change what you do.” 2-Step Identity Shift:

Good Morning Family, I attended the Harvard University annual Real Estate Symposium this weekend with @Mauricio Florian and it was an amazing event with tons of insights to help us navigate an unpredictable real estate market, especially under a new political administration. I just dropped a full recap inside the Investors Edge Community — here’s the quick version: • Multifamily is about to explode again (rates dropping soon) • Midterm rentals are the new Airbnb • Data centers? Oversaturated. • Industrial warehouse = huge upside • Land + Entitlement = hidden wealth creation • And why rent control cities = landmine investments you MUST avoid. If you’re serious about growing your real estate portfolio in 2025 and beyond, you need to read this. → Full post inside the Investor’s Edge Community.

Hi everyone 👋🏾 I’m Katrina. My favorite strategy is buy and hold, renting out by the room. I remotely own and operate three co-living homes in San Antonio TX while living in Los Angeles CA. I look forward to learning from this group 😊
