1. Master the money game, don't let it master you: Money isn’t a measure of morality or worth—it's just a tool. Learn its rules and play strategically.
2. Speak fluent finance: Opportunity cost, leverage, sunk costs—learning the language of money gives you an edge. Invest in understanding before investing dollars.
3. Generosity reveals your mindset: How you feel about giving away money reflects your relationship with it. Generous hearts understand money is a tool, not a treasure.
4. Debt: Friend or foe?: Borrowing to build wealth is smart; borrowing for instant gratification is shortsighted. Understand the systems designed to exploit impatience.

I spent 12 years as a data scientist at HP and purchased $5M worth of real estate over 15 years using my own money. Now, I'm partnering with busy professionals to diversify their investments and generate passive income through real estate syndications and short-term flips—without dealing with tenants, toilets, or tantrums.

At Furlo Capital, we believe real estate isn't just a transaction; it's a partnership. Our value-add approach creates win-win situations where residents thrive, and investors build wealth. We're not just in this to make money—we want to make a difference.
