If you're new to the real estate community on X this is a must-read.

A thread on how most real estate folks structure deals with outside investors.

Most GPs utilize the "preferred equity" structure when they raise money from outside investors.

They "syndicate" deals.

Here's the basics:

Everyone thinks Europe's cheapest livable coastline is in Greece, Portugal or the Balkans. It isn't.

It's in Southern Italy. Today it might be the most contrarian bet in Europe: seven real cities, prices starting at €600/sqm, the warmest sea in the country, and a 7% flat tax on foreign income for retirees in the towns around them.

Let me be clear: this is an extreme call, on a specific part of Italy. Not for many, but very much for a few. Under the right conditions, a real alternative to the coasts everyone else is bidding up.

I'm Italian, I know exactly why it's cheap, and this thread gives you both sides: the pros, the cons, and who should even consider it.

If you are from the UK

(Unless you are already in high-level circles locally somehow)

You MUST leverage the internet for your circle

The UK has a misery mindset, hates talking about money, hate seeing people make money and will almost always put a negative spin on anything

Most of the market is priced for a world that's coming to an end.

Traditional software, legacy platforms, much of the SaaS layer of the S&P 500… all built on the assumption that humans will remain the primary customers.

AI agents don't buy software the way we do. They don't need dashboards, subscriptions, or logins. And once the buyer changes, so does everything built around them.

The investable opportunity ahead is the agentic economy… what gets built for agents as customers.

That's where the next wave of capital ends up, and most people aren't positioned for it.

Uruguay is the best Plan B residency on Earth right now:

- One of the safest countries in Latin America. Kids walk to school, families out at night, low crime across the whole country.

- 400+ miles of Atlantic coastline. Punta del Este is South America's Monaco. Plus hundreds of quiet beach towns nearby.

- 30+ years of stable, non-corrupt government. No surprises, no regime swings. Left and right hand over power peacefully every election.

- It's the financial Switzerland of South America. Multi-currency international banking that's been reliable for decades.

- An 11-year 0% tax holiday on foreign income when you decide to actually move there, and a plethora of options for keeping taxes at 0% after those 11 years.

- First-world healthcare at a fraction of US prices.

And the residency is permanent from day one. No temporary residency stage, no renewals. You only need to enter Uruguay once every 3 years to keep your permanent residency.

Application is done in one trip: Fly into Montevideo for your hearing, file everything, then you're free to leave Uruguay. Processing and approval happens while you're back home or out traveling.

The firm I partner with in Uruguay handles 100+ residencies per year, end-to-end, for individuals and families. DM me for the details and we'll get you started.

① No vayas a Maldivas 🇲🇻, ve a → Zanzíbar 🇹🇿
→ El mismo agua turquesa y arena blanca, pero con vida, cultura y especias. En Maldivas te encierran en un resort sin nada que hacer; aquí exploras, buceas y comes como en ningún sitio. Paraíso real, no una postal cara donde aburrirse a los tres días.

② No vayas a París 🇫🇷, ve a → Kioto 🇯🇵
→ El romanticismo de verdad: templos, jardines, geishas y cerezos en flor. París te vende amor y te da carteristas y camareros bordes. Kioto te lo da sin prometerlo. Silencio, belleza y una elegancia que no necesita torre iluminada.

③ No vayas a Santorini 🇬🇷, ve a → Amalfi 🇮🇹
→ La costa más bonita de Italia: pueblos colgados del acantilado, limoneros y mar azul. Santorini es una cola para la misma foto; Amalfi es un paseo interminable de postales. Romántica, viva y sin fingir. Italia como debe ser.

④ No vayas a Venecia 🇮🇹, ve a → Brujas 🇧🇪
→ Canales, calles medievales y chocolate en cada esquina, pero sin cruceros ni multitudes asfixiantes. Toda la magia de Venecia, la mitad del gentío y de los precios. La ciudad de cuento donde de verdad puedes pasear de la mano.

⑤ No vayas a Dubái 🇦🇪, ve a → Seychelles 🇸🇨
→ Naturaleza salvaje, playas de otro mundo y calma absoluta. Dubái te ofrece centros comerciales y rascacielos; esto te ofrece el planeta en su estado más puro. Lujo de verdad: intimidad, silencio y nada de plástico.

‼️ THEY HAVE BEEN LYING TO YOU ABOUT OIL FOR 150 YEARS. 🛢️

Oil is not rare. It is not made from dead dinosaurs. It is the second most common liquid on Earth after water and it is literally the planet’s lifeblood.

The entire “fossil fuel” scam was invented by the Rockefellers and the Smithsonian in the late 1800s to create artificial scarcity and jack up prices to insane levels. They fed you the biotic lie so you would believe oil is some finite dinosaur soup that is about to run dry. Total fabrication.

Oil is abiotic. It is a liquid mineral cooked deep in the Earth’s mantle under crushing pressure and scorching heat. It is the natural lubricant for tectonic plates and the grease that keeps the planet’s massive gears turning smoothly.

That is why wells drilled dry in the 1970s are filling back up again today. The Earth is pumping fresh oil from below and regenerating it nonstop. It does not run out. We are sucking the lubricant out of the planet’s engine and now the whole machine is starting to shake.

More earthquakes. Creaking faults. Grinding plates. Coincidence? No. We are stripping the oil that keeps the Earth’s crust sliding properly and the system is literally seizing up.

The so-called “fossil theory” is the greatest economic hack in human history. Real crude oil has almost zero biological markers. No nitrogen, no phosphorus, nothing that would survive if it came from dead organisms. It is pure polymeric hydrocarbons, primordial stuff from the Earth’s own formation.

Thomas Gold tried to warn the world. He proved hydrocarbons like methane and oil rise from the deep mantle, not from ancient swamps. The establishment destroyed his reputation because the truth would collapse their entire control grid.

If people knew oil is basically tap water for the planet, endlessly generated from below, the entire parasitic geopolitics of wars, sanctions, and price manipulation would evaporate overnight.

They do not want you to know the Earth makes its own oil.
They need you scared, dependent, and paying through the nose while they bleed the planet dry.
Wake up. The dinosaurs had nothing to do with it. This is the biggest lie they ever sold us and it is killing the engine of the world.

There are two problems rn for crypto and, specifically, bitcoin bulls:

1) marginal liquidity would rather speculate in prediction markets and equity markets

2) marginal energy to mine BTC is worth 10-20x if reallocated to serving AI tokens

These changes feel structural but I could be wrong…

small hosting tip that most people don't think about!!

INTRODUCE your guests to each other (!!!)

there's four ways to do this well

> mention how they both know you
> share a life update: "X just moved here from NY"
> share a fact: "X was on jury duty this past week"
> share a common interest: "you both love jiu jitsu"

connection thrives when you have a REASON to talk to somebody. a REASON to kick of the convo and start yapping.

take a few extra minutes to do this and your party will be 100x more fun. otherwise you'll have a whole bunch of people having small talk awkwardly wishing they were anywhere else. give them something to immediately latch onto. it will set the tone for the rest of the night and they will absolutely love you for it.

ok now go have fun!!!

How u can retire on $1m dollars (abusing the fck out of Panama + Switzerland) 🇵🇦🇨🇭

If u have been following me for some time, u may have heard me discuss the power of a Panama Foundation x Swiss Banking (the components to the 3rd Phantom Pillar). It's time for me to reveal the truth. The nitty-gritty of how it works in practice. Never before have I so clearly explained this setup. TLDR: you can generate you a 17%/yr return with conservative index fund investing alone. This is why all online biz owners should have this setup on the radar.

Double Dipping Arbitrage Play using a US LLC to fund a Panama Foundation (to Protect & Grow your Wealth)

1️⃣ US LLC brings in the income. Passing profits monthly through to a Panama SA (hold co)

2️⃣ Panama SA then sends money to Swiss bank (KYCed by your 0% tax residency)
*Both the Panama SA and the Swiss Bank are owned by the Panama Foundation

3️⃣ Once money is in Swiss bank (Safra for example), invest in any one of their private fund options (ranging from 5% return on the low end to 15% on the high end - We will use 10% as example).

4️⃣ Panama SA opens brokerage acct - Interactive Brokers account, Charles Schwab, etc (this cannot be done by the Foundation directly, but the Panama Foundation owns the Panama SA so all good)

5️⃣ Take out a Lombard Loan on the money invested in the fund inside the Swiss bank (growing at 10% per year). This will be up to 80% of the LTV of what is in the Swiss Bank account. So $800k if there is $1m there. The cost on this borrowed money will typically be around 4% per year.

6️⃣ Lombard Loan as good as cash. Take that $800k and put it in the newly opened IBKR account through your Panama SA in step 4.
Invest into another index fund (could be more aggressive than the one in swiss bank, plus the S&P is on fire lately over 5 years with basic low risk funds doing 13%+) at your preferred risk tolerance. we will use 13% as example

Almost nobody understands Calories In Calories Out (CICO), yet everyone speaks on it with such nauseating authority.

Your body is not a black box.

You burn different foods differently.

If you have a metabolic bottleneck (everyone does to some degree), that efficiency changes.

We measure calories using a bomb calorimeter: a sealed steel vessel filled with high-pressure oxygen, in which a dried food sample is electrically ignited and burned completely.

You are not that.

You are a complex biological system that breaks down and assimilates energy substrates. This process is dependent on ~13 vitamins and ~16 minerals and that doesn’t even touch on the endocrinology of fat storage and burning (insulin, leptin, thyroid, cortisol).

You can add a single vitamin that you were deficient in—or had a previously unmet temporary increased demand for—and burn 100-500 more kcal/day without increasing activity.

You can change your macronutrient ratio and increase BMR. Sometimes by a lot.

If you routinely under-eat, your basal metabolic rate adaptively slows. This is an evolutionary survival mechanism. What happens when you return to an already-low maintenance from an excessive deficit? You gain weight! This is why yo-yo dieting does not work.

Does any of this mean that CICO doesn’t matter? No!

Nobody is denying that if you overeat nutrient-poor foods while sedentary, you will gain weight.

Nobody is denying that if you overeat nutrient-dense foods while sedentary, you will also gain weight.

Nobody is denying that starving yourself will lead to acute weight loss. Initially.

CICO is a framework. But only a framework.

It doesn’t “defy the second law of thermodynamics” to increase or decrease metabolic rate based on input and output.

That is thermodynamics.
