2025, Issue No. 35

The real leverage in this business isn’t money. It’s mindset.

— Alanna Avalone (@AlannaAvalone) December 30, 2025

One thing is clear for 2026: the market will continue to reward discipline, adaptability, and smart decision-making.

In real estate, challenges are not the exception. They are part of the process. Shifting timelines, tighter conditions, and evolving deal structures are normal. What separates strong investors from the rest isn’t the absence of obstacles, but how they respond when those obstacles show up.

“Your greatest weapon is your mind. Train it to see opportunities, not obstacles.”

We are operating margin at a strong position that reflects efficient deal sourcing, thoughtful pricing, and a focus on sustainable execution. We don’t see this as a finish line. We see it as proof that disciplined strategies still work, even in complex markets.

The next phase of growth doesn’t come from rushing deals or forcing outcomes. It comes from asking better questions, structuring smarter, and approaching each transaction with intention. Every “no” carries information. Every delay offers insight. Every challenge is an invitation to improve the structure of the deal.

As we move into 2026, our focus remains steady: protect capital, preserve margins, and partner with real estate investors who think long term.

Happy New Year. Cheers to 2026.
