How Chasing Monthly Payouts Blindsides Smart Investors

He raised millions into an ATM fund that paid every month… until the operator went to jail and the whole thing unraveled. Bronson Hill breaks down what he missed, the hard calls he had to make to million-dollar investors, and the exact framework he now uses to protect capital and still grow. We also dive into modular homes as a fast solution after the LA fires, why rent freezes fail, and how to think about risk when the macro picture keeps shifting.
