@N8RealEstate Yeah not doing that

I have a lead I’m working, seller allegedly can’t get us access to the house Tenant isn’t paying rent We tried calling the tenant multiple times and left messages Now he’s wanting us to just show up and knock on the door and say we’re the insurance company What’s our best bet here?

@dig_deeper1 No one can really say. Where I’m at, it seems to have somewhat stabilized a bit. The sellers willing to give huge discounts have. Obviously lower than the highs but no where near giving it all back.

The houses in my current neighborhood were worth around $750K during the peak in 2006 before the 2007-2008 housing bubble explosion 💥 Now they’re worth around $400K-$500K and stabilizing. They stopped going up and went down a bit and have since then stabilized. Rents have started to come down even for houses. Does that mean the housing has corrected and the housing market is not going to implode ?

@mhp_guy Started as a food truck. If it’s worth growing into a brick and mortar, your business volume, and clients will let you know

I came really close to buying this BBQ restaurant for $650k in 2021. It was doing $235k in annual profit. The food was terrible, if i'm being honest. But the reviews were somehow 4.6 stars from 1,100 people. The location was in a 110,000 person suburb outside Dallas. Prime spot. 9/10 location It was the only non chain BBQ place in the entire town. Every other option was Dickey's or Rudy's. The place stayed packed despite serving pretty bad BBQ. That's how solid that location was My friend and I are Franklin disciples. We were going to bring his flavor profile to this spot. Better brisket, better sides, better everything. But then I started thinking. Some people prefer crappy BBQ. The reviews proved it. We might've pushed out the blue collar crowd and brought in the millennial crowd instead. Risky. The deal fell apart anyway. The landlord was crazy and wouldn't play ball. Probably saved me from myself. One day I'm buying or starting a BBQ restaurant no matter how many people tell me it's a terrible idea. I just have to check that box.

@RoaringHammy Yes I am

Are you planning to leave any money to your kids or are you dying with zero?

@SMB_Attorney It won’t be accepted well but I have no issue with it. Sellers like to feel in control and this isn’t a way to let them feel that way. But again, I like it but I’m not selling 😀

Had a client recently propose the following structure: > If seller accepts my offer by this Friday, purchase price is $4.1 million > If seller accepts my offer after this Friday, purchase price is $3.9 million How do you think that would be received by the seller/broker?

@Paul0Montenegro What they can or can’t afford isn’t something you can worry about. You can only educate them on what you can offer and how you can help. The money is their decision. My appointments were about 45 minutes or an hour before price can up. You can do a lot of probing before that.

One of the biggest mistakes I made when I started doing sales appointments was thinking that because a $20k fence estimate was expensive to me, it was expensive to the client too. I'd try to justify the price before they even asked.

In Austin, I don’t really give a damn if they’re teenagers. They need to have severe punishments and never see daylight again.

@ArrestedAustin Yes

Is Austin still safe for a city its size

@WittyEchoes Sure

MEN ONLY: Would you date a girl who’s more educated and has a higher degree than you?

@crogers_htown lol is a guy who has NO real info on the business talking as if he does. Go start your own or complain. That’s certainly a choice.

@Btanked10x lol

There’s a specialty butcher near us called “The Chopping Block”. Are we crazy or are their weekend hours diabolically retarded if you wanted to make money? Sat: 9am-2pm Sun: Closed I can’t comprehend having a business to sell meat to suburban grilling dads and barely being open on the weekend.

@jb__iii Yeah see a few negative post. With all the moving pieces in college sports now, make my team competitive and I’ll take it. Good year.

It was a good year from a super young FSU softball team. They’ll be a powerhouse in the coming years.

@RandallHouseRE Yeah I’m sure the seller likes that. And if the buyer had 60 extra days to get in, basically they don’t care when, and they really love the property then ok. For most others, I’d suggest moving on if that is not negotiable.

One clause I’m putting in nearly every deal right now: “Seller shall have the option to extend the closing for up to 60 days” Simple, but sellers love it. Gives them flexibility for a 1031 potential. Makes offers feel a lot more seller-friendly.

@Budgetdog_ Same. It ain’t easy these days 😀

I respect parents that have high quality kids more than anyone in society tbh

@GreatLakesWife_ You pick one event to try and make a point. Where I live all the wives want and take girls trips. I don’t take guys trips. And this may not be the norm in other places. To make such a generalization like this is telling about you, not what your husband or men do.

I promise I’m not mad at my husband, but it’s annoying how differently men and women’s leisure time is treated. Our church had a women’s event a few weeks ago that was 2 hours on a Saturday morning. Today there’s a men’s golf tournament and dinner, which will take 7 hours 🫠

@caraathome @JohnCornyn Thank you for showing me who not to vote for.

I try to refrain from posting about partisan issues or candidates, but this is urgent & necessary. Y'all need to get out and make sure the best man wins this Senate race, and his name is @JohnCornyn. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Please consider the kind of person you want representing your family and Texas. The US Senate makes very important decisions for our nation and they impact the whole world. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Experienced, moral, gets things done. Smaller government, public safety and criminal justice, thoughtful policy. From serving at the state level to the federal, there is only one person on the Republican ballot that has earned your trust and your vote. @JohnCornyn 🇺🇸🇺🇸 If you vote for the person who didn't even have his wife's trust, just know you'll be the cause of a Talarico win in November. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Early voting starts tomorrow and is only available Monday-Friday. Election Day is next Tuesday. If you didn't vote in the primary (only 11% of Texas Republicans did), you can still vote in the runoff. VOTE JOHN CORNYN! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Great to see you today @MattShaheen @leachfortexas @florenceshapir1 @ShelbyHWilliams @MattMackowiak

@WakullaNole Seems pretty straightforward

Anyone who chants “Death to America” should not be in this country, not even as a visitor!

@jonbrooks Also ask how much they made.

Asking older generations how much they paid for their first house. $15k-75k. Incredible.

@realJennaEllis This is the American people speaking. Making it something else just shows your inability to evaluate the situation.

It would be nice if Trump put half as much effort into defeating Democrats.

@tgiovanetti Love people holding their elected officials accountable being called discouraging.

I'm guessing the Cornyn folks are not cheered by what they are seeing in LA tonight. It's really discouraging.
