I"m so proud of our team today at @getyourstake.

Can you imagine asking a landlord to give Cash Back to renters?

Our amazing team at Stake did it, built it, scaled it, and now we are putting more cash in renters' wallets by saving rental owners money. https://t.co/JgrA1VKNkr

@eringriffith Crap, and I ordered all these sweaty sandwiches and mostly melon based fruit salad for what?!?

STEPHANOPOULOS: Will your support for Trump continue even if he's convicted?

CHRIS SUNUNU: Yeah. This has been going on for more than a year and his poll numbers never go down.

S: But you're going to politics. I'm asking about right and wrong.

CS: This is about politics.

@NewellNYC Yes sir

@dukelong I thought what happened in vegas…

@moseskagan renters are just looking for that sweet-sweet concession; then they bounce. That new car smell is the also the smell of crummy renewals.

[Rowland Hobbs @rowlandhobbs]

@moseskagan Perfectly aligned incentives are Cash Back for renter AND leasing team (commission, but tie-it to tenant behavior). Now your renter is better underwritten — as they have to pay rent each month to get the Cash back — and the leasing team isn’t accepting people who don’t qualify.

@realEstateTrent Zoom makes me want to return to the office!

[Rowland Hobbs @rowlandhobbs]

@Fritinancy I’ve been called worse.

[Rowland Hobbs @rowlandhobbs]

@realEstateTrent Regardless of political party one could win a ton of votes by cracking down on these scams. Anyone with elderly relatives knows how predatory these scams are.

@jwerner Mikey Likes it!

@itsmefrenchy123 It is futuristic because it flashes.

[Rowland Hobbs @rowlandhobbs]

I am so glad I am no longer a brand consultant right now.

[Rowland Hobbs @rowlandhobbs]

@eringriffith Pet free home!

Dynamic Pricing - Fintech meets Proptech with Rowland Hobbs https://t.co/SdHrCgrjCJ

[Patrick McKenzie @patio11]

Apparently Walgreens is testing, in Chicago, a “new” concept: almost all goods (save two aisles of “essentials”) behind a barrier, passed over it to the customer in response to an order entered on a kiosk.

This is almost a return to the retail experience of the late 1800s.

@itsjamiecho I believe best is “lead with optimism, act with realism.” I don’t think pessimism is useful at all.
