Product I Love

Lick Lick Pad

Created by a friend of mine, this distraction device will revolutionize bath time for you r furry friend. Now if only there was an equivalent item for toddlers. Oh yeah, that’s what we call parents.

Pick your Lick

Deal I'm Doing

Estes Park

Seated at Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park is a classic Colorado mountain town. For those unfamiliar, the infamous hotel from The Shining was filmed here. With 4,000,000 annual visitors to the National Park, Ritvest saw this as a great Opportunity Zone investment in two soon-to-be renovated hotels.

CRUSHING IT TIP #2

Never leave dishes in a sink overnight.
You’ll feel better in the morning. This has been scientifically proven by some influencer, somewhere.  #crushingit

Worth a Listen

The Big Picture Podcast

If there’s one actor Men of a Certain age love, it is Denzel Washington. Always enjoyable. The charm, the problem solving, the dad-love. The BigPicture pod recently went through his career and if you want to spend and hour hearing about movies you love, this episode is for you.

Denzel me, baby

Real Estate Lingo

Opportunity Zone (n.)

As chosen by each state, these are specifically designated areas where people can receive beneficial tax treatment in exchange for new, long term investments.

Industry Insights

Opportunity Zone Fact

In January, the IRS ruled that for any capital gains incurred between October 4, 2019 and October 2, 2020, you can now invest those capital gains in an open QOZ Fund until March 31, 2021. Pretty remarkable stuff. I continue to be fascinated by Opportunity Zones.

Moves in the News

A Mass Exodus

The U-Haul dtat from 2020 confirmed that living in densely populated areas during a pandemic will compel people to move elsewhere. San Fransisco, New York, Boston and others have seen significant population losses in favor of warmer locations in the South and Southeast.

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.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH:
“I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you’re prepared for it”

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.
