@CollinJHumphrey Better stock up on some 5.0 & 6.0 M12 batteries

@TheFortressInc I’m starting a 28’x63’ ranch infill spec in two weeks. Nervous how narrow it will be.

UPDATE: we signed contracts with our “custom home customers” on a home similar to this today 👊🏽 It’ll officially be the narrowest single family home we’ve ever built in 26 years…29 feet wide! One other first on this one that we’ll post about once we get going. Very unique!

@recap_david Renovate

I turned a Zillow listing into a cinematic property renovation video for $15 (no camera, no drone, no film crew) Just listing photos + Calico AI. Most agents are paying $100-$500 per property for videos at this quality. Offer this to realtors in your area and print money. Here's how the workflow breaks down: → Grab listing photos from any property (Zillow, Redfin, take your pick) → Lock in one consistent renovation style across the whole house → Generate photorealistic after-renovation images → Animate the transformation in every room → Build a cinematic closing shot with the realtor's contact info → Drop in a custom music track → Stitch it all together The result: a scroll-stopping property video that gets buyers dialing — built entirely from photos that were already on the listing. No videographer. No staging budget. No waiting around for golden hour. Comment "RENOVATE" and I'll send over the full workflow + every prompt + a step-by-step walkthrough video (gotta be following so the DM goes through!).

@samj_day What’s the floor plans look like on this?

We are months away from finishing our Spoke Street “Superquads” Each of these holds four apartments and one commercial suite—3,600 SF total. We’ve pre-sold these to three different investors for just over 1MM each, which represented an expected cap rate of ~6%.

@NickMaccini How so?

I came to the realization this week that the guys flipping mobile homes are much smarter than 99% of people flipping houses

@_FlipMan I’ve been using Greek Villa for walls lately.

@crz410s @realestatedude0 I have Pro Xtra Elite pricing and it’s still $159 for 12/2 250ft.

@realestatedude0 We have a pro account at work and we just received 20% off

Romex wire 12/2 250feet Home Depot $150 My electric supply store $85 Gc’s don’t get their plumbing and electrical stuff from Home Depot.

@N8RealEstate Accept $250k with a $100k seller credit at closing.

Me: My offer is $150k that’s the most I’ll pay Seller: Okay I will get back to you Me: Well how much do you want? Seller: I don’t know They call back 4 days later Seller: After some thought, I will take your offer at $250k Me: My offer was $150k, the ARV is $250k it’s not worth that right now Bummer on that one, seller had me excited when they said “I will take your offer”

@NickMaccini Their notepad rent roll isn’t good enough for you?

Old school sellers love when tenants pay cash so they can lie to the irs. However they rarely understand that because they collect cash and have no record of payments, their property is worth way less than it should be when they try and sell it

@AdamSchefter “Two weeks to slow the spread” type shit

Some added clarity: NFL RedZone is seven hours — 420 minutes. Over that time, viewers will be served 1-2 total minutes of ads in :15 increments. This comes out to anywhere between 0.25% - 0.5% of the total time, considerably less than other sports/entertainment programs.

@jamesonhaslam Quartz from floor to ceiling with a black walnut mantel.

@kodystowell *no budget

What would you guys do to this fireplace?

@dylthorn @KenziesPoolBoy If someone is driving behind you how do they know what you do?

Done @KenziesPoolBoy

Carlos Reyes broke it down as: 43 leads for 1 contract. $35 cost per lead. $1500 cost per contract This was with $5.50/hour cold callers, calling 10,000 records per month. Records costing $.07 per, and buying 50,000 records a month. Monthly payroll of $4950. Approximately $6k/month, to generate 4 deals a month with average size of $21k. $80k+ a month and $1 million a year.

What’s a good average lead per contract for cold call?

@Reiwholesaler @closingleads $10k bond as a contractor only cost $100/year.

@closingleads I agree but also a $10K bond is pretty absurd

New law just passed in TX against cold calling/SMS marketing which applies to B2C even if offering to purchase a house They want a $200 annual registration fee and a $10,000 bond for anyone doing B2C marketing using those channels 😳

@STLChrisH St Joe Missouri Union uses Uniform Plumbing Code instead of International Plumbing code to keep plumbers in Kansas City away.

I see your license. And I raise you 20,000 hours OJT and 600 hours classroom instruction… Saint Louis County Master Plumber. We’ve made it so hard to access amazing jobs.

You can join a group on Facebook and get a 10-15% off at Home Depot, and then do Plan Room on bigger projects to get more. ABC Supply was like $1m+ spend to get better pricing and they take you on a trip. If you buy everything at once ($50-100k+) I could see them giving out a discount.

Good morning! How much volume does a homebuilder need to do to get ~10-15% building supplier discounts? $2m gross receipts? $5m?

@NickMaccini @noaccentcallers How many calls did they make?

First month cold calling with @noaccentcallers and here are the stats: Cost: $3,600 Callers: 3 Leads: 41 Possible deals: 4 Actual deals: 0

@DonovanBuilds You buying lots in Houston?

Kinda like when I raised $60k for my first duplex at 23 and put “REPE” in my bio

@jamesonhaslam Never seen a butt joint look so good 🤝
