May 2021… 5 years ago 🤯

What started as a simple idea became a 5-year commitment to our community.

I still remember asking Chris if we should start a monthly newsletter because life was moving so fast between business, real estate, and retirement from 26.5 years of military service. We wanted a way to keep friends, family, and partners connected to the journey.

At the time, I was writing every newsletter myself while learning Canva along the way 🤪

And somehow… month after month… we kept showing up.

As of today, we have not missed a single monthly publication in 5 years ❤️💙

Looking back at those newsletters feels like opening a time capsule of growth, lessons, risks, wins, challenges, community, and purpose.

More importantly, it reminds us why we started:

The Up Plex Mission:
To elevate others by providing wealth-building opportunities through real estate and helping build confident investors.

To everyone who has supported us, invested with us, attended webinars, shared our content, read our newsletters, or simply encouraged us along the way… THANK YOU.

You are part of this journey.

If you have some time this weekend, take a walk down memory lane with us 👇🏼
