By Dr. Jim Dahle, WCI Founder2024, like 2023, was a pretty good year to be an investor. Just about anything you invested in made at least a little money, and if you invested in the “right” things, you made a lot of money. It's been decades (the late '90s) since the S&P 500 had 23%+ returns two years in a row like it did in 2023 and 2024. Each year, I try to discuss the investment returns our portfolio saw for both transparency and educational purposes.

By Dr. Jim Dahle, WCI FounderThere is a spectrum of methods to invest in real estate. All of the methods on the spectrum are reasonable. What is most critical for a real estate investor is to match their desires and abilities to the proper place on the spectrum seen below. If you're really not interested in getting your hands dirty or have little investing or even real estate ownership experience, you have no business on the left side of the spectrum.

By Dr. Jim Dahle, WCI FounderDealing with the federal income tax code is bad enough, but state tax authorities and regulations sometimes make dealing with the IRS seem like child's play. The sheer volume of regulations and returns required to enjoy passive income from states outside of your own keeps many white coat investors out of certain private investments. They also make others (including yours truly) who were previously preparing their own tax returns hire professional assistance.

By Dr. Jim Dahle, WCI FounderI often see people asking about investing in real estate with their retirement account (401(k)s, IRAs, and similar) money. This is fine for publicly traded real estate (such as a REIT, like the Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund) or for debt real estate (such as a private real estate debt fund) since both are relatively liquid and quite tax-inefficient.

By Dr. Jim Dahle, WCI FounderSome people do not invest in real estate primarily for the long-term total returns that will help build their nest egg in retirement. Some people actually want to boost their income now and plan to spend that income during their “accumulation years.” However, given their other income, it is important to them that the income be taxed as minimally as possible. Luckily, there are several investments that allow for this.

By Dr. Jim Dahle, WCI FounderOnce you have decided to invest in real estate, at least outside of publicly traded REITs, you will quickly discover one of the biggest dilemmas in this space—the minimum investment vs. diversification dilemma. It basically looks like this. Consider a doctor five years out of residency who has now paid off student loans and is living in a “doctor house.” This doc makes $300,000 a year and saves $60,000 a year.

By Dr. Hamik MartirosyanIt was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was the sponsors with conservative leverage and fixed-rate loans. It was the sponsors with all variable loans and high LTVs.It was the sponsors with a long-term vision and attentiveness to the market cycle. It was the sponsors buying properties like there is no tomorrow to generate acquisition and asset management fees. It was the sponsors with long track records.
