Someone Tried to Sell My Appliances (And Other May Updates) The Investor Journey
What We’ve Been Up To May was a head down kind of month with lots happening in the background that doesn’t get seen online or in photos. All 6 infill projects kept moving, I made a brand decision I have been going back and forth on for two years, dealt with a tenant situation that had me shaking my head, and spent a long weekend at our cabin doing absolutely nothing, which was perfect.

April 2026: The Investor Journey
What We’ve Been Up To April was one of those months where everything seemed to happen at once.
