One of the many reasons people avoid Commercial Real Estate is the lack of active income while building a portfolio. Of course there are ways to do it via CRE but for the most part, it doesn't make reliable money on a monthly basis in the beginning. In fact, I've experienced money going out, further enhancing the problem.

In this episode I talk about what I've been doing about the active income portion in my life, and how that plays into the CRE game. For me, I was lucky enough to basically take most of my time and pour it into CRE for the last 6 months. But now, that clock has ran out. Before I got into it, I knew I had a short window of operating before I needed to focus on active income again, so it's no surprise.

Also working on increasing passive income to reduce to the amount of active income I need, which means I can spend more time working on CRE, which is the ultimate goal.

2025 was a major year, maybe the biggest of my career. Starting to build momentum, things are starting to work, and a reminder that it takes a bit longer than you think. 1 year of making intentional progress in the right direction is good, but 4 more years of that and we'll be heading towards a much different trajectory.

Can't wait to document it all along the way!

Short week, Tbird is for real almost finished. Carpet finished end of last week, cleaning ladies finished on Tuesday, we hired a broker to list the office for rent. There's legitimately less than 8 hours of work to get Tbird done, and that's really exciting.

Any podcast now I may have an update on getting Tbird leased up, that day will be worth celebrating for sure.

Until next time, Merry Christmas!
