How a COVID Curiosity Led to $1M+ in Investor Distributions

What started as a simple curiosity during the early days of COVID turned into a long-term commitment I didn’t see coming.

Within six months of exploring real estate investing, I was hooked. Not just by the numbers or the deals—but by the hands-on nature of the work. Touring sites, walking properties, sitting down with builders and brokers, running underwriting models, and making real decisions with real capital—it all felt grounded, tangible, and energizing.

There’s something about seeing the asset, knowing exactly where your capital is going, and playing a direct role in shaping a community. But one thing surprised me more than anything else.

It felt deeply fulfilling to send money back to investors.

I didn’t expect that. I thought the deals, the strategy, the growth would be the most exciting part. And don’t get me wrong—they are. But watching distributions hit people’s accounts and hearing how they’re using it? That’s what made this all feel real.

This past week, we crossed $1,000,000 in investor distributions through our fixed-income real estate strategy.

That number means a lot—but not just because it’s a milestone. It’s because I know that money is offsetting stock market volatility, supplementing income, and in some cases, helping pay for things like tuition.

In a world where returns often feel abstract, this is the kind of continuity and stability I want to build. Consistent outcomes. Real assets. Long-term relationships.

That’s why I’m all in.

What part of your work ended up being more meaningful than you expected? I’d love to hear.
