@JamesonCamp @theyoungcvo Sorry to hear. Our GC hasn’t screwed us on direct costs, but he takes 2x longer than his bid. Going with referral for next property.

@independentcap @theyoungcvo Gc screwed me on tons of stuff, permit costs. About 40-50k

Everyone talks about wins But I took a big L with investing in real estate last year. Learned more than I could imagine, and may luckily pull out a break even on my first fix and flip Not done yet, but starting to come together and can see progress!

@JamesonCamp @theyoungcvo What were you expecting in terms of “forced equity” upside? What assumptions were off?

@theyoungcvo Well, I guess that’s up in the air. I’m $50k in it more than I meant to be ha. If I can pull out a break even I guess it won’t be, but I’m just mentally prepared not to at this point. It’s worth it, but what a grind it’s been

@JumpInRE Happy birthday!

I turned 33 yesterday. Which means I have exactly 2 years to hit my goal of being financially free by 35. Excited because I'm 100% positive it's going to happen.

@beautifullybunk @mgirdley @BenjaminGreeley @joshuamschultz @laughridge Is the thinking similar to the Dev Degree from Shopify? But instead of Shopify, it’s local a builder/developer, and instead of an engineering degree it’s a degree in a certain trade? engineering.shopify.com/blogs/engineer…

Billion dollar idea: lambda school for trades. Does this exist?

@JumpInRE 2 Quarters early...congrats!

Super excited that my partners and I were able to send out distributions to our investors today. Our latest project (94-unit in Mesa) that closed last November is performing very well. Usually distributions don't go out for the first year, but we're 2 quarters EARLY on this one

@jkostecki_rei Different kind of magnet :)

@jkostecki_rei They would mail fridge magnets with 3 coupons ($5 off a wire) every 6 months. Avg usage was ~1.5 every 6 mos. Essentially doubled LTV.

@jkostecki_rei Magnets = hugely effective for Western Union.

@jkostecki_rei @moseskagan @AmbitiousThnkr I’ve been doing this manually for research. Thanks for the recco.

As I took a walk in my neighborhood with my kids, I passed a house which was obviously a renovation gone wrong. I had seen the home had a newly completed exterior but had been sitting with a gutted/stud interior for the 3+ years I had been living there. This day, I saw two men...

@jkostecki_rei Why? ...Large firms like Invitation homes owning more of the value chain (and employing best GCs)...Cost of labor increasing?
