I want this one written down because it's the kind of mistake that doesn't feel like a mistake while it's happening. Early 2023 I committed $40k to a storage fund. Guy I trust in…
Five years ago I started a service business and now there are eleven of us. We rent our shop and the landlord finally named a price to sell, 950k for the building and the yard. Ba…
A friend forwarded me a conversion fund package, 340 pages, and I've been reading it in the wrong order for a week. The PPM is long and mostly risk factors written to protect the…
