@Wisdom_HQ Starts at twenty percent if you give me great service maybe twenty five percent. Sorry service somewhere around fifteen percent. You’re going to get something.

@ciptd00g @_sorrengailll @Apple My mother had one that lasted for roughly 30 years, then one day I go into her bedroom and it it isn’t there. I asked her about it she said “ it finally died on me”.

@_sorrengailll @Apple Yall are soft, get one of these you’ll never be late

MY FUCKING ALARMS D I D N O T GO OFF THIS MORNING AND I AM COMPETELY FUCKED. @apple FUCKING FIX THIS. I MIGHT BE FIRED. I WOKE UP AND THE ALARMS WERE SILENTLY GOING OFF.

@mariam22_0 @Polymarket No oil in Palestine or Sudan.

@Polymarket another carrier to back trump's war on iran? while gaza starves under the same empire. my cousins died from these bombs-when do we send ships for palestine?

BREAKING: The world’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, has officially returned to the Middle East.

@invisiblemass01 @MultifamilyMad How is using an automated car wash political? I think the root cause is the returns were so good to begin. Then word got out on podcast and conferences that people flocked to it. Just like multi and storage.

@MultifamilyMad I love to wash my vehicle by hand. Looks way better. Gives me some pride. And Its a little bit of a work out. Humans just lazy and love to pay the lazy subscription fees. Feels like a political thing.

Can someone explain to me how this country can open up any more car washes? Everywhere I go I see a new one opening with several already nearby it. I don’t get it.

@realest49919420 Everyone needs to break bread in an establishment where you aren’t the primary demographic and you feel just a little out of place. Teaches humility, respect and hopefully you get a good meal out of it.

Once went to Sweet Georgia Brown in South Dallas after work with some coworkers. Our table looked like a UN meeting.... Black guy White guy Asian guy Hispanic guy It was an impromptu setup for a joke. Great dinner and memory.

@DennisBlock Hey, at least it is going up. People like to bad talk California housing but there isn’t a shortage of people who are willing to invest in California and LA county. I wouldn’t put my capital to work the state.

Under the City of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), annual rent increases are currently capped at 90% of the CPI, with a 4% maximum. This applies to any rent increase that took effect Feb. 2, 2026 or later. The current allowable rate is 2.7%. #LARent #HousingMarket #RSO

@GBPalomino @FOX26Houston Dont forget about all the Native American women that are never reported on.

@FOX26Houston Sorry, but what makes this person more important than the hundreds of missing children? Where are those billboards & rewards?

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for over two months after she vanished from her southern Arizona home. fox26houston.com/news/nancy-gut…

@charliebilello I totally missed the negative signs and was wondering how they got out of the red. Then I saw the negative sign and was snapped back into reality.

@GlobeEyeNews I agree it is a tragedy but shooting upwards of 15k of your citizens because the protest is even worse. Not justifying America or Israel actions.

BREAKING: 51 Iranian children killed, 60 students wounded after joint US-Israel strikes hit girls' school in Iran.

@beyoncegarden The adults should have spoke up.

they’re so disgusting for walking right past them i’m sorry😭

@girdley Man, the things I could do with 1.3 million. Do you think the higher rates for the last 2.5 -3 years took him out?

A local developer appears to have blown up and filed bankruptcy on a $130m++ in loans. He was always spending on big offices, community sponsorships, etc. So, I was like, "This guy must know his stuff!" The lesson is that flash is often a counter-signal.

@GorillaGary1520 @realEstateTrent What are her metrics for buying a shopping center?

@realEstateTrent I always tell this story. My mother in law who owns several shopping centers and commercial properties still to this day has no idea what a cap rate is, how it’s calculated or why it matters. My backgroup is financial modeling so it hurts to say she’s right

You’re buying real estate, not a cap rate. You’re buying real estate, not a cap rate. You’re buying real estate, not a cap rate. You’re buying real estate, not a cap rate.

@EdwardKens50830 @realEstateTrent Dang who hurt your feelings? How will real estate collapse? I’m not disagreeing with you but curious to hear your viewpoints.

@realEstateTrent cap rate is just another illusion hiding real estate's inevitable collapse. trust me, buying ain't the answer.

@DallasAptGP I agree with all three points. It should be about the facts of the case. Did you pay the rent? Did you abide by the terms of the contract? As long as the tenet has reasonable rights, I’m down for it. I’m not versed enough in law jargon to define reasonable rights.

Private landlords are not a social safety net. But for years, Dallas eviction courts treated us like one. Local judges ignored state law. They delayed hearings for months. They let tenants appeal without posting a single dollar. The result? Property owners housed people for free, sometimes six months or longer, while waiting for a court date that kept getting pushed. That is not how contracts should work. And it created a hidden tax on every renter in the city. Landlords do not want to evict. Eviction means turnover. It means vacancy, repairs, leasing fees, and weeks of zero income. A paying tenant who stays five years beats churning units every twelve months. Every time. So when an eviction happens, something already went wrong. The question is: what happens when someone stops paying? For years in Texas, what happened next was chaos. Justice of the Peace courts in major cities made up their own rules. They stretched timelines. They allowed endless delays. A case that should take three weeks took three months or more. And during that entire time, the owner received nothing. No rent. No bond. No compensation. Think about what that does to the math. If you own a 200-unit property and delays cause you to lose 5% of scheduled rent, you are not just losing cash flow. At a 5 cap, you are destroying ~$900,000 in asset value. Now multiply that across a portfolio. Owners started pricing this risk into every lease. Higher standards. Larger deposits. Rejected applicants they might have approved before. The policy meant to protect renters made housing harder to get for everyone. On January 1, 2026, SB 38 takes effect. A new Texas state law re-defining property rights for evictions. It draws a hard line. 1. Timelines become real. Trials must happen within 10 to 21 days of filing. No more indefinite delays. 2. Appeals require skin in the game. If a tenant appeals, they must deposit rent into the court registry to stay. No pay, no stay. 3. Courts stick to the core question. Possession and rent owed. No complex countersuits designed to stall. The signal matters more than the mechanics. Texas is telling capital: we enforce contracts. Faster resolution = less cash drag. Less cash drag = better returns. Better returns = more capital flowing into Texas multifamily. More capital means more units. More units mean more supply. More supply means slower rent growth. Everyone wins when the rules are clear. California and New York tried a different approach. Moratoriums lasted years. Owners waited 18 months for hearings while losses mounted. The policy result? Private balance sheets absorbed public failures like homelessness, mental health, and poverty with no compensation. Rents spiked. Construction slowed. Investors left. The people these policies aimed to help ended up with fewer options and higher prices. Texas watched and chose differently. None of this means tenants have no rights. The law still requires proper notice, due process, and allows appeals. But rights come with responsibilities. If you want to stay while you fight an eviction, you pay rent into the court. Win, you get it back. Lose, the owner does. That is balance. Fairness is not one-sided. A tenant deserves a safe home. An owner deserves to be paid. When courts forget the second half, the system breaks for everyone. Texas remembered. SB 38 is the proof.

@Zigmanfreud Agree they are students, but look how much revenue a successful football team generates for a school. ESPN and the College Football Playoff just agreed to a 7.8 billion dollar contract till the 31-32 season. Thats 1.12 billion a year. Thats more revenue than most businesses.

@bluecollarmba They are students not employees. Playing sports for their school is a privilege not a right.

Yesterday, North Texas won a bowl game, ending their best season ever. Today, the entire core of their team, including a star QB who wasn’t even recruited out of HS, is now transferring. And no one seems to understand that eventually these second tier schools will just give up!

@WatchChad Trying to be good for Jesus, then the next sentence he took God’s name in vain.

You see 100-year-old veterans break down over the nation they fought to protect — and you wonder why. This is why. America needs to wake up.

@GrulkeLamonte Craftsmanship is great, think it will be dated in 3-5 years.

Finally finished! What do we think? Be honest…

@realEstateTrent That is a money making machine. This week I got hustled by my son’s school and soccer team for some money. Throw in the convenience factor he is making an easy $500 per weekend.

This absolute genius just rolled up to Saturday morning baseball in nyc

@TheREDevGUY @MultifamilyMad It cost $300-400 dollars and gives your trash bin a solid foundation and is visually pleasing.

@MultifamilyMad Why the concrete pad?

The seller owned this property for 51 years and for 51 years he never had dumpsters or garbage bins. 54 residents kept trash in their units and then once a week piled it all up against the side of the buildings for the trash company to come pick it up. This was insane to me. Looked terrible, gross and ruined tenant lifestyle. I had nice concrete pads installed and permanent dumpsters installed with recycling totes (will have a little gravel sport for those). The residents were blown away. Our office has received numerous calls thanking us for doing this. Whenever we are onsite, residents stop and thank us. Such a small improvement, with such a great response. One of the many upgrades I’m making across the property.
