@SpaceCoastCRE Whenever someone asks me what cap rate I paid, I pause for a second and wonder if I'm the moron for not knowing.

[Baird Kleinsmith @bairdk]

@jowade13 Raised her right! I'd love to add a 90 someday.

[Baird Kleinsmith @bairdk]

They’re right that every bit of stuff in your life adds some overhead, but this one’s worth it.

Vintage 1995, babied by Durham, England’s fire brigade for most of its life, original everything, 71k miles, has only needed its oil changed on my watch.

Started shopping for a Defender to bring home in late 2019 as I knew my time in England was nearing an end. Showed my kids a photo of this one and they made me buy it.

My daughter is no longer impressed by it, but my son won’t let me drive him in anything else (when it’s out of storage).

Someday it may become a burden, but it’s pure fun for now!

Owning a real estate business is hoping that in 6 years, you were as smart as you thought you were 6 years ago.

Owning a business is thinking about how stupid you were 6 months ago, every 6 months

@ListerLawrence Always!

[Baird Kleinsmith @bairdk]

@bryantaucoin Sweet, thanks!

[Baird Kleinsmith @bairdk]

@bryantaucoin No, tell me more!

[Baird Kleinsmith @bairdk]

@bryantaucoin I had to have shown them like 20 or so green, blue, gray, and black ones that all fell flat. The red one got em!

It's one of 3 red body/white top Defender 110s in Durango now. There's an 80s vintage (technically a Series III, pre-Defender) and late 90s/early 00s vintage.

@forcethehabit You'll find it!

Best part of the story was the seller wouldn't take a bank transfer. I had to withdraw £18k in bills from my Lloyds branch and protect it with my life for the train journey from London to Margate!

[Baird Kleinsmith @bairdk]

@shawngorham @DietCoke82 Yeah but I checked the weather the other day and it was gonna be like 93 and 80% humidity. Weather window might be small.

@MericaLandBaron That’s an English saying and would absolutely not work with the word soccer. 🤣

[Baird Kleinsmith @bairdk]

Sold!

Football's coming home!

I’ve got 4 tickets to England v Croatia in Dallas on June 17th that I’m not going to use.

If you’re in Dallas (or can get there) and want them, I’ll transfer at face value. Category 2 seats all together at $500 each.

[Baird Kleinsmith @bairdk]

@DallasAptGP Ah, bummer! @tcummings dibs them, but if he decides not to take them I'll let you know!

[Baird Kleinsmith @bairdk]

@tcummings Winner! Yeah, let's DM.

@shawngorham I'm telling you, get an F-150 PowerBoost. Love mine. But I'm also not trying to impress anyone.

[Baird Kleinsmith @bairdk]

The British love to criticize American enthusiasm, but here they are getting excited about a single thunderstorm. 😂

[Liam Dutton @liamdutton]

There’s an isolated thunderstorm that’s formed north of Milton Keynes.

As there’s clear blue sky around it in all directions, it should be visible from 50-100 miles away.

Share a pic if you can see it!

@fadedoutline Honestly don’t know or care. I’m confident in my predictions for what it’ll yield for me.

[Baird Kleinsmith @bairdk]

While retwit was twisting its knickers about an influencer with impressive facial hair, I was closing on another 100k sq ft of metal buildings below replacement cost.

Still can't grow facial hair, still don't know about floating rate caps, and still don't take investor money.
