Nephew playing some great ball to start the year!

I searched Kendrick Lamar’s performance and saw thousands saying it was legendary… and thousands saying it was trash. Two people can experience the same thing and have completely different opinions. Moral of the story: Do what’s right for YOU. You can’t control how people feel—only how you show up. 🏆

Simple scales. Complicated does not. Business and investing does NOT need to be overly complicated.

Before you make something bigger you need to make it BETTER!

@shawngorham Lending license in CA/AZ?

What did I just do?

@mcleank22 I agree with that. I invest personally in residential a lot but also have quite a bit of exposure to commercial as a LP and they both have performed well for me. Just don’t agree with crowd that makes it seem like you can’t make really good money in residential investing

@DevonKennard Don’t have a horse in the race investment wise but certainly seems PE/Blackrock have very long terms goals to get a stranglehold of the market then dictate their terms. Don’t know if it’s investment as much as control?

For the crowd who says residential real estate is a bad investment: Why is their so much institutional money flooding the residential space? One would think that hedge funds and PE companies have access to advanced data that guides their investment strategies sooo IMO the math must be mathin’ in residential.

Why do so many people in commercial real estate look down at people who invest in residential real estate? I’m an LP in a lot of large deals and a 15-20% IRR on a commercial project is what most aim for/expect and I know many residential investors who hit those same metrics.

@realEstateTrent Is it hard to get the different subs to work together efficiently? Seems one advantage of hiring 1 company or GC is they keep the jobs moving. Always concerned with subbing jobs out myself that I may pay less but the renovations take longer.

When we update our strip malls, we often hire the subs direct and buy the materials ourselves. Makes a real difference to the bottom line, especially given our average deal is around $5M.

I thought USC couldn’t hang with SEC teams? HA! Fight ON! ✌🏾

Have you guys ever thought about how much money our culture spends on fashion today? I am probably a bigger culprit of this than most so not judging anyone at all but its just crazy when you think about it. Pair of sneakers can cost $1k T shirt $500 Etc. All of our closets are full then things go out of style and we give it away after a couple wears. Fashion may be one of the biggest financial traps of them all.

PSA to aspiring real estate investors. MORE and BIGGER does NOT always mean better! I know investors with 30 doors who make more $ and have a better quality of life then some with 1,000s of doors. With all those doors come partners, investors and employees thus more responsibility. That ain’t for everybody!

S/O @BiggerPockets for the dope author gift! Head to my website devonkennard.com to pre order NOW!

@eduffy11 I used to avoid section 8 but have a couple of properties with section 8 and they have performed very well!

@DevonKennard Have you done anything with section 8? Reading up on that. I’m not seasoned by by any means, but starting to research. Lots of risk/reward it seems .

I bought my first investment property in 2014. Up until about 2 years ago I considered myself a cash flow investor… but I have to be honest investing in RE for cash flow is the hardest it’s ever been since I started. Additionally, the appreciation growth of my properties over the last decade significantly outperform the cash flow I have generated.

Me at all my kids events lol
