Everyone I know running an SMB wants to own more real estate and everyone I know in real estate (developers, investors) tells me they want to own an SMB. I believe both is the best option?! #retwit#realestste
For us service business owners, it’s a tangible asset. You can build wealth over a long period of time and use some leverage. Plenty of people who have gotten rich slowly. I’m not talking about the fix and flip riches but more buy and hold. This was a great tweet though!
Genuine question : what is it about real estate that gives it such aura?
Almost every person who’s successful in any given area will - at one point - get the itch to invest in real estate.
It’ll be anything from buying a rental to investing in a syndication. Half of them will crash and burn and spend years licking the wounds.
But countless new generations will make some money and get a gleam in their eye: “Why don’t I go buy me some real estate??”
How are you all using Ai to get fixer upper on market leads? Some in the pipeline with just realtors asking for fixer uppers. There has to be a better way! How do you scale the pipeline? Same thing can be asked for off market. #retwit#realestate
@skylarromines@baparish@sweatystartup There is a Bollywood movie based on this. She gets permission from her father to travel all over Europe before she “settles down”. She meets the love of her life and the movie now is this new found love convincing her family to accept him. Blockbuster but not real life!
Although I’m not the top tier here, I surrounded myself with some of the biggest wholesalers and end buyers in Houston. Lots of distress and lots of opportunities are coming or need to be created. Lucky to be invited. Let’s go! #retwit
Yesterday I met an old friend who has been battling stomach cancer for the last few years. We have rescheduled multiple meetings because some days he could not get out of bed. He still said some people have it a lot worse so it keeps him fighting and going. ❤️
Currently working on a 8 townhome development project in San Diego
ReTwit friends, many of you have urged me to go bigger
This is more capital than I’ve ever had to find for one of my TX deals
Who should I be talking to?
@mhowitt@follard who were investors in my most recent Houston deals have already committed to the first $250k
(They’ve been incredibly supportive throughout the Houston developments as well)
This year I have found a new appreciation for distressed assets! The opportunities that arise when you surround yourself with the right people are amazing! Still playing in SFH but I can’t imagine the excitement in multi. #retwit LFG!
This guy I shadow a few times a month runs an operation like this. Hard money, wholesales, keeps some/flips some and new builds. It’s a fly wheel and it’s a deal flow machine since he is always able to close and buying. Abundance mindset! #retwit
Hard Money:
I have been borrowing from the same person for the last 5 years.
Private Individual, has around $5mm of personal money.
He loans to about a dozen local house flippers.
He loans a 1 hour radius from his house
He drive and runs his own comps
He holds his notes in a personal family trust.
The last 3 projects Ive emailed him on he was out of cash = more demand than money
It would be hard to find a better risk adjusted return than a 1st TD @ 70% LTV on So Cal SF with very experienced flippers.
Who wants to send me $5mm? (joking)
lol. We have one row outside a building we own and they have been hit and are slanted coming out of the concrete!
If it was not there, my customers would have hit the store by now. Oh and we sell auto insurance :)
Walked a house with one of the biggest buyers in one of the county’s and saw deal making in real time. Relationships bring the deals to him. Homes, notes (performing) with cash flow and other opportunities. Super humble and I was fortunate to spend the day with him. #retwit
@StudentRentPro @jmaxwell_ Some of us played red and black where you guess the color of the card and if you get it wrong, you just take a big shwig of Jack Daniel’s or Crown Royal. Then, you go out and party because you were ready to make more memories that you will not remember. Great times though!
