But at Sunrise Capital, it’s been a year of massive growth, disciplined pivots, and, for me, purpose: my wife and two sons. We’ve acquired $80,000,000 in new assets this year—irreplaceable real estate that we couldn’t pass up. We’ve had to step away from other deals when the numbers didn’t pencil, and in the end, we’re monumentally proud of what we’ve accomplished. So what’s next? I have a big announcement at the end of this episode—and this is the first time I’m going public with it. My life, and the lives of my family, are about to change as we do something I’ve been dreaming about for over a decade. This is what it was all for. But before that, I’ll share the lessons we learned in 2025 that shaped our business and buying decisions, why capital raising wasn’t as hard as many sponsors think it is (if you operate the way we do), and why we didn’t have to change our underwriting during some of the most challenging years of investing in decades. I’m sharing the wins and losses, both personal and professional, on today’s show. Thank you for a wonderful 2025. 2026 is going to be a little…different.
