Recent best- opportunity to throw in on a 900+ acre land deal off 288 adjacent to about to announced MPC land. 2.76x multiple in 35 months. But that was a unicorn.
Recent worst - invested $25k in Senior Housing development fund (AL/IL/MC) in 2015. Thought we'd lost it all. We got lucky to be in Fund III that miraculously sold this year and 1.73x. Awful awful investment but felt like free money when we needed it this year.
