Real estate is all about access to capital.

Claude fable was really just a fable.

Gone as quickly as it came.

Lesson: don’t over depend on a single source.

@SenWarren You clearly don't understand simple economics. Wealth, by and large, is created through the value you create in the marketplace (ie. others) and are rewarded for it.

@drgurner @Gavel_on_X X very much is an echo chamber when it comes to AI. You fall victim to thinking that everyone and their mom is using AI. When you step outside you realize most people aren't and if so, understand only the basics of it.

@TheCinesthetic rewatched it last week in theaters on IMAX. One of the best films of all time.

@skylarromines Exactly.

As someone who's raised capital and has been in this space for 15 years, here are my thoughts for what its worth.

When I read about this guy losing $15M of investor capital, my first thought is "What went wrong? And is there actual real accountability or is this just a PR damage control post attempting to disguise itself as "accountability."

He starts by saying that he's not blaming the economy, they followed him as the leader, but yet spends the next 9 slides explaining how rates spiked, insurance spiked, taxes, hurricanes, cap rates all went up and he was forced to exit.

He then says that had he been able to secure a longer term loan when he bought it, he could have survived. As someone else commenting on this rightly pointed out, an investor that doesn't understand basic floating rate debt shouldn't be raising capital. As well as the discipline of walking away from any deal that he couldn't secure fixed debt on.

Instead of asking himself what skill deficiency or what he overlooked as real accountability, he doesn't bring that up.

What's ironic is he posts several days prior to this post on "sins" investors make about bad math and not doing their real due diligence. (pic #2). Clearly he didn't follow his own advice and forced the numbers to make sense. He specifically talks about rents will go up, repairs won't be that bad, vacancy and CapEx won't bite, which is exactly what he didn't account for. and thus lost his investors money. And he's selling a course on how not to do it.

Dude is in PR control more than actual personal accountability or self reflection.

@drgurner 100%. Or the people who then purposely mistype something to make it seem like it was a “natural” error.

@dr_ericberg Lack of vitamin D3. Big pharma doesn’t want you to know, otherwise they’d lose a lot of customers, including the psychiatrists.

@MikhailaFuller @CCHR has been documenting the harmful effects of psych medication for many years now. They have multiple documentaries on it, with a recent one talking about the horrible effects of akathisia.

[Oscar Carlos @oscarcarlos]

@MikhailaFuller @CCHRInt has been documenting this for decades. They've produced their own documentaries on this.

@ElenaCardone Great family picture

@drgurner Never seen either of these two shows but I’ve said the same thing about why ‘friends’ became such a popular classic and available on just about every passenger flight screen.

People connect with the simplicity of it.
