For those who paid off their mortgage early and own their home free and clear - any regrets?

I’ve spent a decade telling people to do what I do: "Buy and Hold."
Now I've decided to list my entire real estate portfolio for sale and walk away.

It started slow. The bills, the maintenance, the tax increases... but the final straw was when I tried to develop an ADU to do exactly what the city of LA claims it wants investors like me to do: Create more housing. You'd think they'd make it easier, but after two delayed inspections, a sewer pipe replacement that needed 75 days advance notice, and a city-owned tree that became my responsibility, I'd had enough.

The identity of being a real-estate guy is very hard to walk away from, trust me. For a long time, I stayed just because real estate was my "thing." It’s how I started. It’s what I’m known for. It led to every good thing in my life. But that blinded me to the fact that just because something served me in the past, it doesn't mean things haven't changed in the present. 

The reality of 2026 finally stripped the emotion away. My LA rentals are netting about 4-5% after the constant background noise of taxes, insurance spikes, and repairs. Meanwhile, a risk-free Treasury pays 5%. The trade-off just doesn't make sense any more.

I’m reallocating to a liquid portfolio that actually lets me focus on the work I love. I published a deep dive on my Substack about the ADU nightmare that broke my patience, the exact numbers behind the exit, and where I’m moving the money next to buy back my sanity.

I'll drop the link here in a bit.

This might sound absolutely crazy - but now might be a GOOD time to buy a house. Almost no competition, very little demand, rising inventory, 7%+ rates, all while seller’s are approaching a slow holiday season. Lowball offers might get accepted here for those who are patient and play the numbers game.

Sat down with a liquid billionaire yesterday. His best advice for every business owner: Hire a “send and delete” person. You fire off the request → immediately delete the task from your brain. They handle it. No follow-ups. No mental overhead. Once you hit send, you consider it done. If you ever have to remind them? They’re not an asset; they’re slowing you down and stealing your bandwidth. Fire and move on as quickly as possible. This one hire changed how he scales everything. Hope this helps anyone who needs it!

Roughly 220 billionaires reside in California. They employ roughly 10 million people. If a wealth tax passes, everyone with a billion-dollar idea will think twice about whether they want to build that business in California. But that isn’t even the most dangerous part. When this turns out to raise less money than expected, the bar will be lowered to $100 million. Then $50 million. Then $10 million. Then $1 million. They’ll call it “the millionaire tax.” And since ~80% of the California population isn’t a millionaire, they’ll vote it into existence because “it doesn’t affect them.” But many of those “millionaires” are providing jobs. Housing. Innovation. Buying products and services. They’re a net economic benefit. If you discourage them from living in California, they will leave. Then it becomes a downward spiral where they have to tax everyone else to stay afloat. Not saying the system is perfect. But a simpler solution might simply be: spend less money and encourage more people to move back / create a billion dollar idea.

I sold my "forever home" in LA. 

I bought it in 2020 planning to keep it for decades. Instead, I left it completely empty for 5 years.

I turned down ~$600,000 in potential rent.

Here is the math on why it’s now safer to earn $0 than to be a landlord in LA. 🧵

@lucawashenko Reach out to any criminal fraud department / file FBI IC3 Report. Wire recall immediately. Escalate as fast as possible. If you don’t reverse this asap, it’ll be impossible to get back - especially with a holiday / weekend.

What could kill the stock market rally? THIS. I don’t think people take this seriously enough… Imagine a political sweep of Congress towards democratic socialism, driven by young people dissatisfied with falling wages, rising asset prices, and out-of-reach home values. If elected, it’s a no-brainer to pass a wealth tax, increase capital gains taxes, implement “mansion taxes,” and blame capitalism for every problem imaginable. Asset prices subsequently collapse, business contract, home values plummet. This is framed as a “good thing” to level the playing field; now people can buy that same home for 35% less. Stock prices are 40% cheaper. They’ll say “The rich simply got greedy and no one ‘needs’ more than a few million dollars, at most, anyway….capital gains taxes should be 35%, not the previous 20%…corporate taxes should be raised back to 30%…get rid of 1031 exchanges…now everyday people can buy those same assets for less, this is a victory!” Trillions of dollars get wiped out instantly. Chance of this happening? It’s not 100%…but it’s not 0%, either…
