Welcome to my Twitter - Thanks for connecting! If you are here, chances are you are probably involved in real estate in some form or fashion. I like to post about different types of creative financing on CRE Deals. I also am able to get RE investors funded for their projects!

I have been getting some great traction on cold emails recently. I think sometimes cold emailing is more effective than cold calls.

What’s your outreach process for property owners?

How many times does a deal have to die and come back to life for it to close?

[Leo Johns | CRE Debt & Equity @leojohns77]

@ErikTSexton This is the playbook 🙌 AKA stick to the fundamentals

@AdeelKAmin Any insight on all of the hotels requiring heavy PIPs right now

@LlcSuplex I thought I was the only one thinking this..

@ErikTSexton I didn’t realize how many people are ghosting. I get positive feedback from lenders just because I tell them we are going a different route after they issue terms or engage on a deal. Amazing how many debt brokers ghost them I guess.

@brianbeers Brian, how do you decide whether to scale an existing franchise concept you own vs starting with a new brand?

We can close eight-figure deals, but somehow the biggest challenge is still teaching people how to navigate a Google Drive data room.

Anyone else notice UFC turning into a status symbol event. More and more notable celebrates going to something that was so taboo just 10-15 years ago.

UFC 313 had Mark Zuckerberg, Kash Patel, Andrew Tate, Theo Von, Mel Gibson, Mario Lopez & more.

Seems like the place to be nowadays.

@HealthcareREguy Anonymous accounts are always going to be taken with a grain of salt. If your not willing to “co-sign” something so to speak with your identity it’s hard to trust them

@BrendenGraves9 Everything is a networking event if you treat it like one

Where is a weird/unique place you have met someone that resulted in a deal or listing?

I'll start, I had a deal we got from the poker table.

@CaseyMericle Someone saw you naked and their first thought was I need to do a deal with this guy? Impressive!
