🥂 New SPVs
Here are the deals we’re doing in May and June — plus a sneak peek at what we’re cooking up for Q3 and beyond.

🇪🇸 Spain Multifam Real Estate (EOI Open)
Expressions of interest are now open for a multifamily real estate deal in Valencia, Spain (right near where me and my family live!)
Valencia is one of Europe’s hottest real estate/rental markets right now.
Bonum Consilium is a Valencia-based real estate development platform whose current project, Álvaro López, is a 16-unit residential building in La Malva-rosa, steps from the Mediterranean.
We’re currently exploring an Altea SPV for this deal.
Here’s what the rough structure looks like:
- 30-36 month timeline
- 8% fixed annual coupon + 25% profit share on net proceeds
- Projecting a ~10.1% XIRR
- Sponsor equity subordinated below investor capital
- Minimum investment of €7,500 (1 token)
- Pre-sale deposits protected under Spanish banking law, held in bank escrow
Accredited investors can participate through our Altea SPV.
And interestingly, non-accredited investors can also access this deal through Brickken, a trusted European tokenization platform.
🍊 Persimmon Farm (June)
This one’s about as alternative as it gets.
For the past year, Altea member Dr. Tigran Kalaydzhyan has recommended we look at this persimmon farm in Paraguay.
(Yes, persimmons, those things that look like oranges which you’ve barely heard of)
We’ve been learning a lot about this deal, about persimmons in general, and about Paraguay more broadly. It’s genuinely compelling!
Farmland I will be our first farmland SPV. More to come in June.
Q3 and Beyond…
⛏️ Metals I: Rare Earths SPV (Date TBD)
This one is still likely to happen, though proving more complex than we anticipated. But it remains a top priority for us and our rare earth partners in Germany.
It’ll be worth the wait. No firm date yet, but we’re working hard on it.
🥃 Tequila IV (TBD)
Our fourth tequila fund will likely be a tequila ladder, with similar mechanics to . Think staggered exits across a ladder of positions, but with tequila.
🏎️ Auto II (Q3)
Finally, is proving to be very successful, so Auto II is happening in the fall. This one should be a lot of fun.
No EOI form yet, but this should be be a big one when it drops.

💬 New Discussions
- Morgan Keim shares his lessons from a 2.3x fund exit (and the $100K mistake that almost sank it!)
“The hardest risk to underwrite? GREAT question. Operator tenacity. What happens when the shit hits the fan or if the operator loses control, or some long-tail event happens?
By far the most underrated thing is to invest in operators that have actually had a loss and gone through the shit. Not just those who are always winning. Bc they haven’t been tested yet. And what happens when stuff gets really hard? That’s the character of people I invest in now.” – Morgan
- Jack noticed that House of Rare tequila was given a glowing Robb Report review
“I saw this about House of Rare and thought to share. Sometimes it’s hard to tell how “real” parts of the this investing space are vs. just an echo chamber, so it’s really cool seeing this kind of external validation. Congrats! (This is coming from a non-investor)” – Jack
- Mandar asks which country are you when you invest?
- According to Aziz Sundjeri, January and February are the worst times to buy a home.
“This is interesting. I’ve made some of the best buys in the fall and winter (the worst time?) when inventory is lower. Less volume for sure, but if sellers are sitting they are more desperate to let go, usually at a better price for us.”
- Birgit answers: What does gold actually look like after decades underwater?
“Gold is one of the noblest metals, which means it is highly unreactive.
Unlike iron it does not rust or corrode in seawater. That is why gold can remain preserved for centuries beneath the surface on the ocean’s seabed.” – Birgit
🥂 New Meetup: Valencia, Spain
Early heads up: We’re planning our first-ever Valencia, Spain meetup the week of July 6.
As you’ve seen, we’re creating an SPV to invest in a 16-unit apartment complex in the beachside area of La-Malva Rosa.
We’re working with the developer on a cornerstone ceremony — a chance to see the project in person and celebrate with the team.
The meetup will include lunch or dinner, and possibly even an optional add-on trip to Altea, the charming, picturesque town which inspired our community name!
The RSVP page will be ready once we’ve finalized the details. But I wanted to spread the good news early. 🤙
