Dom Rémy 🇺🇸 🇭🇹

Exactly what I needed! Thanks @REconveneLA 🏠🌴for inspiring, educating, and connecting me over the last 3 days. Thank you @moseskagan and @simrankagan for putting this together. That level of attention to detail, sense of community, and value don’t come together without an amazing vision and kick butt organizing chops. I got to be featured on my first RE podcast thanks to @Livinrentfree_ and @bredpodcast which'll come out in a few days. And I got a chance to learn from so many people such as @sweatystartup @kylematthewsceo Bruce Fairty @antonia_mdprjct @seandsweeney @CliftonHarness @realEstateTrent @RohunJauhar But what made this unlike any conference I've ever been to, was the people I met that made me feel welcomed, inspired me, shared their wisdom, or just shared some laughs. Every single person I met was a bar raiser. @davidellebrecht @BabakZiai @ConorKenny @WagnerSimonRE @mwmoedinger @scottswag @MarcGuzmanHomes @STKend @PattersonConnor @NikhilFIG @ericwilsonRE @JonahJG @marctoronto @mewc4c @CaseyMericle @GaucherAndrew @DallasAptGP @Re6936In @rohindhar Arleen Garza @SethMcKinney @Chad_Kastel @1031Specialists @SageBakersfield @joshb_clt @hannes10010 I’m fired up to give more back to this community, share more about my journey, and to continue to build towards my RE vision.

Trump’s SEC chair prevented the head of enforcement at the SEC from investigating Trump’s circle for insider trading and she resigned over it

@realEstateTrent Remember, they tried to trial balloon this by shutting down TSA Precheck and Global Entry (still closed) a month ago as a method of pressure.

Serious question: Who exactly came up with the idea to hold their own country’s traveling public hostage in a political dispute?

@moseskagan @AGHamilton29 💯 percent the case.

@AGHamilton29 Rare bad post from you Ds have a policy goal; you just disagree w it!

It's important to understand that this is being done for purely political reasons. There is no serious policy end goal here from Congressional Democrats other than to try to score political points with their base.

Yes! All construction—even ‘luxury’ construction—helps housing affordability. It creates moving chains that open up opportunities for lower earners and make more affordable units available.

This is shaping up as the most consistent finding in housing studies: Building lots of luxury housing can reduce rents at the top of the market—but the people it helps most are renters struggling to afford even the least desirable units

@nonregemesse Split is legendary.

I would like to immediately know where this is

This is huge if true. I asked Grok how this could work with for sale product, because they would seem to be at odds. Here’s the response: ### How "For-Sale" Could Work Under Current OZ Rules (and With Potential EO Alignments) - A developer/investor sets up a QOF that funds a project to build single-family homes/rowhomes in an OZ. - The project develops and sells the homes (e.g., to families/owner-occupants), generating proceeds. - The QOF could realize gains from sales, distributions, or eventual exit. - To get full OZ benefits (especially tax-free appreciation after 10 years), the investor must still hold the QOF interest for 10+ years — even if the underlying homes are sold sooner. - Common structures might include: - The QOF holds residual assets (e.g., land, unsold units, or reinvests proceeds) long-term. - Or uses layered financing where OZ capital supports development, but sales happen earlier while preserving QOF compliance. - The EO's push for alignment could make such models more attractive/viable by layering in non-OZ incentives (grants, credits, reduced regs), effectively subsidizing for-sale development without needing to change the OZ holding rules via legislation. In short: The statutory OZ holding periods remain unchanged (no new legislation has altered them as of March 14, 2026). The Executive Order encourages and facilitates for-sale single-family projects in OZs through better program coordination and incentives, but investors/developers would still need to structure deals to satisfy the 5/7/10-year QOF holding requirements for maximum tax advantages. This might involve creative fund designs (e.g., longer-term QOF vehicles supporting shorter-cycle development/sales).

Building FOR SALE single-family homes and rowhomes in Opportunity Zones! LFG!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@TimurNegru Maintenance cost on roof and tuck and pointing will be extreme. Friends have a place just like this in Limoges.

Someone is selling an 18th-century French estate sitting directly on the Lot River. 27 rooms, 10 beds/8 baths, 487m² (5,200 sq ft) of living space across the main house and 3 gîtes (self-contained guesthouses). 2 swimming pools, tennis court, wine cellar and 1.18 hectares (2.9 acres) of gardens running down to the river. Live in the main house, your friends and family have their own space and nobody's in each other's way. This is Cahors Malbec country by the way, with Bordeaux 2,5 hours away (wine lovers will understand). Asking price: €1.3M ($1.4M). How much would an estate like this cost in your country?

@realEstateTrent If they have it, Entrepreneurship major runs circles. Positions you for leadership, bias for action, and being dangerous across all business domains.

Finance is the best overall undergrad business major. You learn enough economics and accounting to be dangerous, and it’s broadly respected within the business world. Accounting is a solid major, but many will typecast you. Economics is fine. Marketing is the least valuable.

Good riddance and don't ever come back.

Don’t forget the comparison to multi unit townhomes or small multifamily. no sprinklering requirements which takes ~$6k / unit off the table, and residential building codes instead of commercial which means generally easier energy permitting, less site improvements, and more. My only note is sometimes it’s more advantageous to build a duplex as a SFH w/ ADU than as an explicit duplex. Depends on the jurisdiction.

While duplexes are generally not as pretty or optically desirable as a single family home, my preference is to build a duplex almost every single time. This is a detailed breakdown of why this is the case: First, land is the scarcest input in residential real estate. Lumber, labor, and other materials scale with the building. When you build a single family home, one household absorbs the entire cost of the land. Building a duplex generally puts a premium of the cost of land that each household can absorb. Using the same dirt, you can almost double your revenue as a developer. Next, many of the expensive parts of residential development are site costs / horizontal costs, not vertical costs. These costs (like permits, utilities, and impact fees) are more cost efficient for the developer when absorbed by two households vs. one. Third, finance bros like to talk about synergies and there are certainly some synergies and cost savings to be had when building a duplex or multiple structures side by side. We often build duplexes side by side and can better negotiate with subs for discounts given the sub doesn't have to pack up and drive two hours across a market like Houston to get to their next job. Stay with me finance bros, because financing on duplexes has generally been easier than for single family homes. Debt capital cares about risk per dollar deployed. Two units reduces risk because if one unit takes longer to sell (assuming you sell each side separately), more than half the risk can be taken off the table when the first side sells. Next, exit optionality improves. With a single family home, there is typically one exit path. With a duplex, you can sell both units together, sell individually (in many states), sell to an investor as a rental asset, or refinance it and hold (house hacking ain't bad either). Finally, duplexes provide a development advantage because the density aligns with modern housing needs. They increase density, maintain neighborhood scale, and avoid the political resistance of larger multifamily projects (think apartments). We have been more successful investing in and developing duplexes than we have single family homes for these reasons. We also love lending against duplex development as the loan size is typically larger with less risk. This thesis has me thinking one thing when looking at infill lots: "How many households can this lot support?"

@benmaritz I wrote an email about this exact concern. More legislation that makes homeownership development less feasible.

I wonder if under the new millionaires tax in WA short term income from condo development will be exempt. I know the leg is also doing work on reducing condo liability. But if gets with a 10% tax…

@DallasAptGP This is the opportunity. 3rd party tools based off a central data structure OR replace the 3rd party tools with agent built internal apps.

A recent Keyway survey of 150 CRE pros showed only 8% of RE firms have AI-ready data infrastructure This is where we are spending the lion's share of our time/effort So much of our data lives in 3rd party tools. We want it in out dataverse

@hajarkagalwa Still led by a German American 😩

Germans when they realise they are not going to be blamed for World War III

@minchoi Wow. That aged well…

Anthropic said no to the Pentagon. Now Sam Altman is backing them: "For all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company and I think they really do care about safety." OpenAI and Anthropic both drawing the same line. This is a big deal.

@sentdefender There’s a reason X isn’t in this list…

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has expanded its efforts to identify Americans who oppose Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in recent months, sending tech companies, including Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta, who owns both Facebook and Instagram, hundreds of administrative subpoenas which consist of legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize ongoing immigration operations by the Trump Administration, four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests have told the New York Times.
