Welcome to Ritvest on the 10s, the monthly newsletter you never knew you always needed. Straight from the mouth of RItvest CEO, Eric Ritvo, we’re sharing a few of our favorite things in real estate and beyond.

Mobile Home Communities (MCHs)
Here at Ritvest, we’re buying into not 1, not 2, not 3, but four (4) locations throughout Iowa. Why are we investing so heavily? There’s a real value-add opportunity here and if you want to know more, let’s chat.
What’s in it for me?

Who is in the Top 10?
This is always a fun list to review. I’m quite partial to the city coming in at #2 (Denver) and if you’re onto the theme of this month’s newsletter you’ll appreciate #7

CRUSHING IT TIP #5
The only thing worse than forgetting Mother’s Day yesterday is not apologizing with flowers. If you’re sinking in this boat, buy some flowers and give yourself a life raft. #crushingit

The beauty behind the business
I’ve been learning about Iowa (see above!) and came across these websites which don’t really help with investing, but are pretty cool if I do say so myself.

What to Watch
Breakout movies
The Oscars are a distant memory now – even with Glenn Close doing Da Butt – but two performances and movies to catch are Promising Young Woman with Carey Mulligan and Sound of Metal with Riz Ahmed. Both films grab you and don’t let go.

State of Being
Abundance Mindset
At Ritvest and in my day-to-day, I attempt to employ an abundance mindset. This term has become popular recently. If you’re curious what it means:

Quote of the month
“I’m not looking for a different idea I’m looking for a better idea” – Ron Howard
Why I do this:
For the past two decades, I’ve lived at the crosshairs of entrepreneurship, M&A deals, business plans and startups. I often say I’m the happiest guy in every deal, because I know that when experts come together, the results can be exceptional. This experience led me to create Ritvest, a family-run investment group with a focus on people and communities built to endure and thrive over time. Thank you for allowing me to share a little part of myself and the products, people and places I believe in with you here every month. Let’s build something great together.
Disclaimer: Ritvest on the 10s is the product of Eric Ritvo and Ritvest. It is not investing advice. Heck, it is not any advice. It is stuff I put together and then lives on my website. This is barely marketing. Ritvest was founded with an abundance mentality, the ability to pick and choose and working with people we like. This is not an advertisement for anything other than connecting with me.
