@robbiehendricks @PatCarino And besides if any of us were actually smart we’d be doing something else

Had someone ask if I worry that posting CRE jokes or memes may detract from people taking me seriously. Short answer: No. Zero percent. If I can’t have fun, I don’t want to do it. One of my gripes with the commercial real estate industry is its inability to laugh at itself. Everyone takes themselves so seriously. Relax, guys. You’re playing grown up monopoly with a bunch of big words. Have some fun. Post some memes. Laugh a bit. You’re not that important, and neither am I.

@parkertankus @OilCoIntern Learned that from the cfa society thank you very much!

@bme_1982 @OilCoIntern two calcs! belt and suspenders!

The desk of the wealthiest person in your town

@OilCoIntern @parkertankus Oh yes…very rich with debt and bad ideas

@parkertankus @bme_1982 Don’t know him, but if he carries a BA II Plus, he sounds rich

If you’re going to bootleg a commercial build out, for the love of everything, do not lease or allow sub lease (our case! Unwittingly!) to any entity receiving federal funding

@lomstar68 I think we may have a blueberry cobbler eating contest at the hotel for the 4th of July…I might finally win something!

@bme_1982 Hey Lardass. Chow Down Wide Load.

Boom baba boom baba boom Lard ass! Lard ass! Lard ass!

@Snarkio_ @BatesLine Both paths are boondoggles

Tulsa City Council is set to vote on Councilor Vanessa Hall-Harper’s ordinance to change who is in charge of how $5 million in voter-approved funds is spent tonight. District 1 Councilor Vanessa Hall-Harper has advanced an ordinance (sometimes referred to as the Brown Ordinance) that would amend the use of $5 million from the Improve Our Tulsa 3 (IOT3) package, which voters approved in 2023 specifically for implementing the Kirkpatrick Heights-Greenwood Master Plan. Key Details: - The original plan targets revitalization of approximately 56 acres in the historic Greenwood/Kirkpatrick Heights area of North Tulsa. - The Greenwood Legacy Corporation (GLC), a Community Development Corporation formed with support from PartnerTulsa, was created to lead implementation of that master plan. - Hall-Harper’s ordinance would: - Shift implementation away from the GLC. - Redirect the funds toward broader District 1 economic development projects. - Expand the eligible project boundaries to cover all of District 1 (rather than the specific master plan area). Hall-Harper’s stated reasoning (from the April 29, 2026 Urban & Economic Development Committee meeting): She still supports the goals of the master plan but says the GLC and PartnerTulsa ignored her input as the District 1 councilor, disrespected her concerns, and failed to adequately involve her despite direct conversations. She argues she was elected to represent District 1 residents on these issues. 10:30 am: Futher discussion Urban and Economic Development Committee 5 PM: A second public hearing and vote on the ordinance is scheduled for the Tulsa City Council meeting

@mhp_guy 2040s sounds about right for me to finally maybe make money

Why do cities grow north and how can knowing that make you rich? Here's why one of the most overlooked real estate cheat codes on the planet works so well: The sun sits south - so nuilding north never shadows the buildings already there. Zoning fights push growth that direction for 200 years. The wind blows west to east. Old factories got built south and east of downtowns. Rich people fled the smoke north and west. Even after the factories closed, the pattern stuck. Rivers usually run south of downtown. South side = floodplain. North side = high ground. Premium dirt forever. Highways got built to serve where the wealthy already moved. The rich moved north. The highways made more north growth possible. This becomes a self-reinforcing loop for hundreds of years. North of every city is open farmland. It's the cheapest path of least resistance for developers. DFW is the textbook case. Same play, one exit further up Highway 75 and the tollway every decade: 1920s: Highland Park 1980s: Plano 2000s: Frisco 2020s: Prosper, Celina 2030s: Sherman, Denison 2040s: Oklahoma? Boomers bought 30 miles north of Dallas in 1980 with 12% rates. Today they're rich. Millennials can buy 30 miles north of where development ends today, at 7% rates, wait 20 years and get rich as well. Look how cheap land up there is. Don't be afraid of Oklahoma, either. The map still works. The more things grow north, the less it matters than you're 60+ miles from Dallas proper. I'm under contract on a ranch outside of DFW right now. Guess which direction it's in? Yep. Follow me @mhp_guy if you liked this.

If there’s a more worthless bunch than middle mgmt in the fire marshals office, I’m not aware of them I fought fires but I threw my back out saving lives, so now I don’t reply to emails and don’t care if you or your tenant bks waiting on me to fwd the 3rd party review comments

@taggartvanetten And where we have actual unlocked park bathrooms, we’ll place sprawled out bums in the stalls

they have started the morning run. cue a bowel movement and lock all porta-potties.

@GoodGuyGuaranty And sometimes you wind up with a hand painted 11x17 water color before you’ve agreed on the facade

When you work with fancy architects you start to see the world in different ways. RCPs with no bedroom lighting (lamps are enough; you beg for something and get a monopoint). Kitchens lack microwaves (put an outlet in a pantry). Vanities always float. It’s all quite impractical.

@bairdk Great ride!

Diagnosed with cancer 18 months ago. Beat it, but lives with the effects every day. Today rode her bike 85 miles (up 7,200 feet), starting in Slovenia, crossing into Austria & Italy, before returning to Slovenia. Finished with a smile. One bad Mother of our kids! 😍

@parkertankus @oil_gonif @pinpulleddrmf I had an 86 f250 lariat 6.7 4x4. Ext cab. Literally the dumbest mistake was selling it for $4,000 to the banker’s older brother

@oil_gonif @pinpulleddrmf great minds.

The team at Uncommon Elite is kicking off a very unique search. **1997 F250 7.3 single cab with less than 50k miles** My bet is I will have better luck finding a SEAL that is an accountant.

@ftw_cre Did you walk there?

@bme_1982 Ha! I'd get a whole lot of "bless your heart" if I ever tried to make that claim to the people that ACTUALLY live in that neighborhood.

Where would you guess this is?

@ftw_cre Yeah! Thanks a lot!

@bme_1982 Solid collab!

@PerrySolem The real tear jerker is pissing off 1500hrs for a cfa and a life of putting country folks in etfs for 1% and trading it for playing bloodsport with the fire marshals, digging quarters out of laundry machines, leaking roofs, collapsed sewer pipes and no days off

@bme_1982 ha very fitting side note, i love Conway Twitty and i love that song. it's literally a tear jerker, it's such a good song

couple friends of mine are buying sub-$10m value add deals this means small banks for debt small banks want a recourse guarantor they have one. he charges half the promote. these guys are not stupid. they're relatively connected. have done a bunch of deals. great reputation. I'm sure a slew of know-it-alls will reply to this with magic answers, but my point is, people have no idea how badly diluted some operators are. they like what they do, but they'd be the first to warn you, there are much easier ways to make money in this world.

@BblGhanoush Nice!

Best friends, day made…

@EllliotttB @loneelmcapital We do not

why are they dipping into savings, do not they have semiconductor exposure?
