@jakewoolf nobody makes a better white shoe

501s and Common Projects Time is a flat circle etc

Nobody bothers calling 911 because nothing happens

@winternet Yeah this is what everyone does

i know the creative director of one of biggest artists in the world right now, they run literally 100s of tiktok fan pages clipping ‘we made the right guy famous’ types of content whenever he drops a new song

@JDeutch It’s crazy that there’s no “for rent” beach chairs and food service in Santa Monica except for like one small area for perrys lol.

@gbaroth well, jonathan club costs like 100k a year lol but yes, your point is valid

Jonathan club gets it, why don’t we have the ability to have beach rental chairs and service in Santa Monica all the time?!

@WisteriaRising Seriously, we used to get extra tacos just in case somebody we might see wanted one

I used to go to Taco Bell with 30 dollars and leave with enough food to feed an entire party of people

@shawngorham Jail time for that

This makes me so mad... I offered $552k on this house. I lost it by 8k. I had sale price at $780k (I had the last closed comp in the area) This flipper did some absolute garbage work, shocking flipper garbage. This is my competition. Pay more, do shit work, price $30k above last closed sale. The market has been so hot it's paid off for most the last 10 years. I hate seeing this get rewarded.

I feel bad for the renter here but I looked at these bungalows and they wanted $5-6k for a 1 bedroom and your bedroom window was literally touching the sidewalk. Someone could reach through and grab you in your sleep absolutely not.

@gefensk I was just telling @Derrick_NOLA he needs to interview people like you to show what it’s like trying to run a business in Los Angeles

@Derrick_NOLA Now this is too far

The baby is still growing. 💪👻

There are two ways to buy normal everyday items right now: 1. Use Amazon and get it delivered in 4 hours (awesome!) 2. Drive to a cvs or target, everything is locked up, have to have a personal employee shopper with you to unlock the various things you need, not awesome.

@Vinny_Daniel0 I’d love a documentary from the bartenders that worked there. It truly was incredible

@orenmeetsworld Woah

@LA_Multi_Fam It’s crazy you have to do that

We just completed one of the more interesting and gratifying tenant cash for keys buyouts. Two family members occupying two separate units in our building. When we purchased the property a few months ago we approached the daughter, a lady in her 60’s who had been living on the property for 30 years. Her elder mother and brother lived in another unit downstairs. At first their reaction to our buyout offer was a hard no! They had very low rent and were very comfortable with the space. Never the less she was super nice and chatted with me every time I came by to the property. She ended up telling me she had grandkids in a city about an hour away from LA and joked how tough the commute was to see them. That night out of curiosity I looked up rents where her grandkids lived. You could rent a 3BR house with a yard and in unit laundry for not too much more then the two apartments she and her mother/brother were renting from us. So the next day I went back to her and showed her a couple of the listings. I asked her what if we paid them ~$26K for each unit and she could rent a house with a yard 5 minutes from her grandkids. She looked at me like I was messing around and laughed it off. A couple days later she called me and asked if I was really serious. I said yes, and within 3 weeks she found a home to rent with her mom and brother, very close to her grandkids. Cash for keys gets a bad rap as landlords taking advantage of tenants. But in LA there are very specific guidelines to follow and tenants have no obligation to accept any offers. You give them a disclosure that tells them to go talk to the housing department or an attorney etc. Even after they sign a buyout agreement they have a 30 day rescission period to cancel. This was likely one of the bigger win win buyouts I’ve done. We unlocked a good amount of NOI and equity on the property. & The tenant got to rent a house with a yard 5 minutes from their family, while getting a check for over $50K
