pulled six comps from the same complex, and they looked pretty similar on paper.
But price alone doesn't tell me why one unit sold higher than another.
Episode 03 → I pulled the comps.
Next: comparing the extremes.
$175K looked cheap. Then I checked the price history.
$192.5K → $190K → $185K → $180K → $175K
Does that mean the seller is desperate? Not necessarily.
It means the previous prices didn’t produce a sale.
Episode 02. → next, the comps.
#DallasRealEstate#RealEstateInvest
$175K for a 2-bed condo in Dallas. Deal or nobody wants it?
I found this property and decided to underwrite it from zero instead of assuming the asking price meant anything.
Episode 01 → starting with the property.
Next: the price history.
Starting a real estate acquisitions journey…
I’m starting from scratch and documenting the process.
The goal:
Become exceptionally good at finding mispriced real estate.
Learning comps → valuation → repairs → underwriting → deal analysis.
You are early.💜🤝
My LinkedIn account has been suspended for the past few months, with no clear reason provided.
I completed the verification process required, and it has now been 4 months without any response, positive or negative.
What else is one expected to do?
@LinkedIn
I understand the need for platform security and enforcement, but when businesses and professionals rely heavily on LinkedIn, it’s only fair to provide a clear reason for a suspension and a timely avenue for resolution.
I genuinely think LinkedIn can do better here.
I'll be straight about where this is. PAS is pre-revenue. One founder. The architecture is built. The first pilot is the next milestone.
I'm not writing any of this from a finished product looking back with a tidy success story. [A thread🧵]
If the mechanism is right, it'll hold up without the costume.
So that's the deal here: real analysis, honest stage, no manufactured momentum. The rest is earned or it isn't.
I say the stage out loud on purpose. The temptation, building something early, is to inflate, borrow proof you don't have, imply traction that isn't there, dress an idea up as a movement. I'd rather under-claim and let the thinking carry it.
I agree with the diagnosis, but not the prescription.
A standard only exists on the days you feel like following it. The real test isn’t “what happens when a lead comes in” on a normal Tuesday. It’s what happens at 9pm, on your kid’s birthday, three calls deep into a rough day, when the standard says respond in five minutes and you’re in no state to.
That’s not a discipline problem. It’s the exact moment every human standard quietly breaks.
“Decide, document, execute” is right. But decide-once, document-once, execute-every-single-time-without-exception is not something willpower delivers at scale. That’s what infrastructure is for, not replacing the standard, holding it up on the day you can’t.
The agents who are consistent aren’t the disciplined ones. They’re the ones who built something that doesn’t need discipline to work.
Most agents don’t need more software.
They need more standards.
What happens when a lead comes in?
When a client closes?
When a past client goes quiet?
Decide. Document. Execute.
The fisherman metaphor is right. But I’d place him somewhere different.
He’s not sitting on dry land. He’s out on the water, he paid for the boat, the net’s actually in, and he’s just slow pulling it up. By the time he does, the fish that bit are already gone.
That’s most agents with Zillow leads. They didn’t skip the water. They paid to be on it. The lead inquired, showed real interest, gave a real signal, then sat for 45 minutes while the agent finished another call.
The fish weren’t imaginary. They just weren’t pulled in fast enough.
Broke isn’t always the wrong pond. Sometimes it’s the right pond, real bites, and a net that comes up too late.
