Day 1 Farming Bubblemaps V2 Airdrop Here is the strategy I used day 1 to farm 181 points 🧵

@molzer Any specific department? Zoning? Planning/development? Did you need DOT permit? I have 3 billboard myself and this is fascinating

@defi_mojo All of them

We created the worlds first bus bus stop for ~$27,000 Our first advertisement deal starts in 2 weeks. $4,000/month. Unsure I will be able to do a real estate deal that delivers this type of return to both the community, the building, & in general. You can just do things.

@ashen_one Moving on from Merl already?

THESE GUYS INSPIRE ME SO TOMORROW IM LAUNCHING A PRODUCT. ITS GONNA MAKE CREATING AI UGC SUPER EASY SO YOU ALL CAN DO IT WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE REALLY MAD AT ME BUT IDC. I NEED TO STOP BEING AFRAID TO LAUNCH PRODUCTS AND FAIL.

@Brittonnorth @shawngorham @Industrializer A lot of TikTok and IG influencers teach it Look up “Hold My Hand Real Estate”. He almost exclusively wholesales on market MLS listed properties.

@shawngorham @Industrializer This is the first time I have seen this on RE Twit. Almost every pro on here saying this is BS.

The guy who brags about taking $25k from your grandma.

@ChrandLord Solid, nice work again and congrats. Thanks for sharing

@defi_mojo He wanted to sell that for over a year, I offered his price but with no money down.

Zero down closing, seller had to write a $9000 check and I got a check for $2000. Brutal 😂

@ChrandLord Nice work! How did you get him to agree to 0 down? I managed to get seller financing at 0% once by offering 10k over his ask but that’s best I’ve ever managed

@defi_mojo Fully occupied. Not horrible but need work.

@ashen_one 1. Add rate limits 2. Verify no API keys exposed 3. Sanitize all inputs 3 step easy security prompt for any vibe coded app

had my apps first major security issue today 🙀 if you intercepted my app's call to anthropic, my api key became exposed so like if some guy that hated me wanted to soft hack my app, they could steal my api key to anthropic but like normal people would never have noticed this because its like just there to be seen on the ios app itself lesson learned: make sure the calls to apis are routed through backend supabase secrets rather than directly from the app ultimately, i had hard limits and monitors on the api key itself so no real danger was presented, but thank god someone pointed it out to me (even tho he did it to prove vibecoders suck at security or whatever)

@ChrandLord @thmindustriesre Thanks for the transparency. I sent you DM regarding storage + billboard

@defi_mojo @thmindustriesre Tattoo shop and billboard 100K 3 bed 2 bath house and storage units 100K Warehouse and 4 bed 2 bath house 100K Other side 2 bed 1 bath house 85K Other side blue 2 bed 1 bath house 140K

Here’s my monopoly block

@colinushkowitz ivueit is an app built for this, you can get them done for $10-15

Property I’m trying to buy is 3 hours away so I sent a Doordasher to the house. Paid them extra to walk the property, take photos of everything and become my runner for the afternoon. I’ll buy this house completely virtually over the phone and probably never step foot in it.

@ChrandLord @thmindustriesre How much did the 28 unit storage facility run you?

@defi_mojo @thmindustriesre Northern il

@ChrandLord @thmindustriesre Southern IL I’m guessing?

@thmindustriesre Illinois.

@ChrandLord Interest only? What was your negotiation tactic?

1.5M in zero down real estate closing over the next two weeks 🫡

@FinFreedom414 I started sourcing off market real estate and it’s changed my portfolio returns drastically Creative financing and avoiding banks or traditional lenders has also been a power move

I’m 34. Husband. Father of soon to be three. I’ve worked for 13 years as a nurse. Brought home $95k W2 last year. I own three properties. $500k in equity across them. $105k in a 401k. $400k in $BTC and $MSTR. By most measures I’m doing well. But here’s the thoughts that I sit with every day. The portfolio is at a stage where I feel like I should be pushing harder, but pushing harder doesn’t often equate to better returns. I could launch some real estate wholesaling campaigns and look to make more moves. The kind of aggressive stuff that actually closes the gap between where I am and where I don’t have to work a W-2 anymore. My holdback is being present for my family, without working every minute. You blink and your newborn is a toddler, you blink again and they’re starting to grow out of that toddler stage. The whole point of building this portfolio is to stop trading my time for money. To be present. To not miss special moments in my children’s lives. I feel like if I grind hard these next two years, a decade from now I’ll always wish to return to these years and just be present. Any other fathers navigating this same thing?

@sweatystartup What’s your buy box? I own 2 so far and trying to grow. I source them all off market. Anything that doesn’t fit my buy box I can pass along if it fits what you’re after.

The self storage opportunity is growing. Market is soft. A lot of distress. I need to raise a lot of money. What family offices or groups should I talk to?

@ChrandLord I’ve been writing mine on blank white computer paper, then scanning it and printing it to loose leaf paper. I leave sections to fill in for their name and address. It allows me to send out 100s of “handwritten” letters a day for pennies and is super fast

I really like this guy but don’t get why he isn’t using robot ink marketing to send these. It’s a numbers game and the only handwritten aspect that really matters is the envelope name being handwritten. Open rate = glance views * conversion rate. Close rate = open rate * conversion rate A mail service does this for $1.50 mailed. At best you save $7.50 per day. 5 letters a day * 365 = 1,825. If 1/100 people open you get 18 opens. If 1/5 people call you, you get 3-4 calls in a year. Thats great, but with robot ink marketing I can send 1,825 per week. 94,000 letters is 940 opens, 188 calls. This guy seems to have big pockets and is always doing deals so I’m so confused why he wouldn’t hire this out. 5 letters is $7.50, he definitely can make more than $7.50 in the time it takes to write the letters. He can even include a pre written personalized letter with a picture of himself and everything. Not hating, just confused. I had a buddy doing this and I challenged him to send out letters with robot ink marketing He dragged his feet and finally took my advice. He called me today and we talked for an hour underwriting a deal for a 12 unit he found found. Seller financing, no money down, and a litany of other deals across the towns we live in. Direct mail is really good, you guys just aren’t using it right.

@PaulmattJr Hahah felt Might vary from market to market I’m in sun belt and also filtering by owners with 3+ properties so might be that as well

@defi_mojo No emotional attachment sounds good but plenty of land owners have emotional attachment to their land. I’ve been calling them all year 😂😂

Would you rather flip land or houses? Why?

@AjOsborne1 If you are looking for hires let me know Sourced both my facilities off market. I use extremely unconventional, “out of box” methods nobody is attempting.

Launching a company that finds, communicates with owners & sets up off-market deals. -searches -filters -verifies all information -quantifies based upon your parameters -direct outreach and communications -is a CRM where all of it goes -builds out parameters with the owner for a close call. -set up, schedule & coordinate final meeting.

@vincent_vancode @JoelKatz Just use $LINK or get left behind

@JoelKatz It just goes to show, simplicity is king. I have never been a fan of all this hoo ha. Give me native, old school blockchains all day long. Simple, single purpose. The more you pack in, the greater the attack surface.

The attack was way more sophisticated than I expected and aimed at LayerZero infrastructure taking advantage of KelpDAO laziness.
