They paid $950k in 2021, maybe they spent $750k-$1M fixing it up? I haven’t seen before pictures. So they’re in it, all in with carrying costs, maybe $2M? I tend to think it’s worth maybe $2.4M given the square footage. I just don’t think they’d make much on this flip. But seems like they’ve been trying to rent it out. All rough numbers on my end.

Renting is still cheaper than buying in every major U.S. City. Historically, renting vs buying is about balanced - with the only difference being the opportunity cost of a 5-25% down payment. Until we reach an equilibrium, it’s hard to justify buying a home in 2026…UNLESS: 1. You get a fantastic deal (I’m seeing places now sell -20%+ off list price in Las Vegas) 2. You absolutely love the home and don’t care if you overpay 3. You plan to hold it 10+ years 4. You’re rich AF and pay a premium to not have a landlord. Besides that, short term - renting still seems to be superior option while you stack cash and wait for the right opportunity / perfect house.

@DadisFIRE Landlords exist because they bought pre-2020 and have fixed mortgages below 3%. Today’s investors are completely different.

@GrahamStephan Renting is cheaper if you use misleading stats like averages.......since more expensive houses aren't for rent at the same frequency as less expensive homes. Common sense prevails.....landlords exist because its profitable to own.

@FitFutureMD You should never buy a rental for tax purposes. Most rentals at today’s prices are horrible investments. If anything, only buy a rental if it makes sense…without the tax benefits…then, the tax benefits becoming icing on the cake.

@GrahamStephan right now you only buy homes to offset taxes. make 300k instead of paying 150k in taxes, you take 100k and buy a rental worth 350k. Tenant pays off the loan, you don't pay taxes and get the depreciation.

@erickayson It's wild to think that $100M is a daily rounding error when it comes to the military budget.

@Derrick_NOLA Agreed. I'd argue there's a lot of incompetence also sprinkled in... seems like half the city has genuinely no clue what they're doing.

The City of Santa Monica paid $6 million for a building that was listed at $4 million. They then gave our land to a nonprofit for $1. They're also misappropriating funds that were intended for fire victims from the state. As our city continues sliding into fiscal distress and potential bankruptcy, why do we keep giving away our most precious land? Money, corruption, and political donations. That's why. Visit dt4sm.com and donate if you want to help me fight the million dollar machine. Anything is appreciated.

NEW: Debate growing in Santa Monica over a proposed $77M, 8-story affordable housing project at a former pet store. Plans call for 80 units for seniors, Section 8 tenants, and fire victims.

It’s a shame, restrictions have gotten so bad that people would now rather keep their ADU empty than rent it to a tenant. If they sell, no brainer to deliver it empty. However, buying a place with an ADU is great for visiting family / in laws / adult children or parents to live nearby / onsite.

Why are there so many homes for sale with an ADU? What am I going to do with a detached two bedroom that’s taking up yard space? Rent it out? I bust my ass to finally buy a house to become a landlord? Why are people doing this?

I had an entire binder of Japanese Pokemon Holographics, including a full page of base set Charizards. Never played, I’d open up the packs, sleeve them, and gently place them on display. Every single card was mint. Then one day at school, I opened my backpack and my binder was gone. Someone stole them and I was devastated. 25 years later, I still think of this. I occasionally check eBay and wonder if I’d recognize my set if it went up for sale. Never caught the kid who stole it from me, either.

I was a Pokemon fanatic as a kid and my prized possession was a holographic Japanese Charizard. I remember I was kind of pissed about it because I wanted one in English. Forgot about the entire collection as I got older and have never been able to find it since. I still have nightmares about what happened to it.

The failed High Speed Rail. The failed Updated 911 system. The failed Homeless Industrial Complex. Now, the failed “People Mover”. Every “Project” the California government undertakes because a multi billion dollar fraudulent money laundering operation.

WATCH: The long-delayed “people mover” at Los Angeles International Airport is still closed 3 years late and an estimated $1 billion over budget. The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off in 100 days and LAX travelers wonder if it will be ready?

This post has +5m views. It was posted by an account with a short name, affiliate badge, posting non stop clips. He watermarked the clip with his name. He boasts 70m monthly impressions. But he didn't make this video. Sure he gave credit in the comments, if you bothered to click it. Someone else made it. There's a huge clipping industry on X. I saw it last month when a post of mine went viral and got 1.5m views. Someone made a 'video' of my face and billie eilish next to each other with a news clip, and that video got +20m views across 50 different posts, probably more. Personally I don't care, going viral is uninteresting to me. I don't see any business from viral funny posts. But how do content creators feel about this? On one hand the clips help with exposure, and funnel more traffic to YT views. On the other hand, this is clearly copyright infringement. If X institutes some kind of DMCA process to flag posts and get the revenue from the clips to the original IP holder - it would stop. Not sure if that's the right solution. I think IP owners wouldn't want it either. Clearly the clippers are good at what they do. Original IP holders and content creators either need to figure out a way to work or maybe employ clippers to get ahead of it.

Logan Paul reveals Floyd Mayweather still owes him $1,500,000 from their fight in 2021 “He pre-sold the fight using my name and likeness to a company, I think in Dubai or somewhere in the Middle East, for $10,000,000 cash” “We ended up doing the fight in the US with a different company. That’s the company that put on the fight but he had already sold our fight to someone else for $10M cash” “Our deal was 15%, he smoked me. 15% of $10,000,000 is $1,500,000. The company that paid him $10M is suing him. He has a bunch of legal trouble at the moment. I don’t think I’m ever getting the money”

@kurtvarner Tried this multiple times, couldn’t get it to tell me it’s the video game. But I’m totally open to being incorrect and getting fooled. Will remove the post if it’s confirmed 100% fake.
