@ColinTCrypto @JesusMartinez Yes we all know that you became Ben Jr instead of posting novel thoughts and analysis.

@JesusMartinez You are taking victory laps way too early here. We’re only 50% of the way through a typical bear market in terms of duration. At least wait until enough time has elapsed. There’s still a chance you’ll be wrong on this.

The sad reality is that most people missed this bottom because they tried to rationalize the markets "The market will act irrational for longer than you can be rational" It's okay to be wrong, I'm wrong all the time (That's just the nature of being a trader) There's just not enough data out there to support what Ben said & trying to use T/A will just get you rekt long-term

@ColinTCrypto @Timbo78625468 Hey Ben Cowen Jr! Where are your novel thoughts? You just going to look at the 4 year cycle? We all know what has happened in the past

@Timbo78625468 BTC has been underperforming stocks for a while. That is a sign of weakness. Not a sign of “needing to catch up”.

Seems like $BTC has some catching up to do here :)

@AjOsborne1 Are these considered good deals?

On market deals looked at today: 700k, size 9k sqft, 7 cap, 93% occ, 6 sqft per cap supply, avg income at 90+k. 1.2 mil, size 21k sqft, 7.7 cap, 95% occ, 2.5 sqft per cap supply, avg income 55k. 1.3 mil, size 21k sqft, 7 cap, 73% occ, comp 14 sqft per cap @ over 90% occ, 83k income. Upside on rates on all—mom & pop sellers. This year is very different than the last 4.

@ThinkAppraiser It's completely asinine

Gas is almost 6 dollars per gallon at the cheapest goddamn place by my house What the hell are we doing guys? Figure out this Middle Eastern/Iran bullshit get this f*cking figured out everybody’s tired of getting raped at the pump On what planet should we be starting a freaking war in the Middle East with zero plan about anything? Very frustrating to keep getting killed with high prices everywhere with no plan or no light at the end of the tunnel

@melefante6 Tax

My wife quit her job and made us $1 million. Not in revenue. In tax savings. The IRS has a designation that lets a stay-at-home spouse use real estate depreciation to wipe out your entire W-2 tax bill.  If you own a short-term rental, you don't even need that status… And you both can still work your W2 jobs... You just need to work 100+ hours a year on your properties and more than anyone else. That's less than 2 hours a week. We used this strategy to save over $1 million in taxes last year.  The tax code rewards asset owners.  Most people just never learn the rules. Comment TAX and I'll send you a full breakdown of how it works.

@REdebtlawyer @ThinkAppraiser It really is. I thought I wanted to get out of w2 until I found this out. Especially if you can buy one property per year, cost seg, and bring a ton of depreciation into year 1. The tax refund is almost enough for a down payment on next property.

@ThinkAppraiser High earning W-2 plus real estate professional is the ultimate couple wealth hack.

How to become a multi millionaire very quickly The best advice can also be the simplest

@ThinkAppraiser Lender. Make 500k, live on 100k, wife is a "real estate professional", buy and hold CRE

Agent Lender Appraiser Inspector Flipper Buy and Hold Which would you rather be?

@Storage_Venture Fully stabilized here or is there more room to add revenue?

Student of mine bought a facility last year for $380K. 200K seller financed at 5%. Previous owner collected rent in a coffee can. Literally. It was a Foldgers can that hung behind a wall that had a hole in it to drop cash and checks. No website. No software. No autopay. 9 months later: Revenue went from $3,200/month to $5,800/month. Same units. Same market. Just systems.

@ColinTCrypto @BobLoukas You used to have different views from Ben Cowen, but you have pivoted and pretty much just believe all of his stuff and post the same theories

@BobLoukas Curious what you put the lower bounds for the cycle at. I’m currently looking at $35k - $45k as a realistic range. It sounds crazy to some, but a 70-80% drawdown has always seemed crazy

Doing a new Bitcoin 4 Year Cycle video today, been a while.

@ChrisRamsey60 Making my wife a real estate professional. Chat gpt says I need to buy 1.2m in commercial real estate and cost seg to pay no taxes. Self storage or contractor garages?

Why are you paying so much in taxes I just don’t get it… Start preparing for 2026 taxes now. Know roughly how much real estate you need to buy. Then buy it. Stop throwing your money away!!

@CryptoWendyO Yeah, so quit spewing garbage FUD

I want the Crypto market Structure done DESPERATLY so everyone gets altcoin season and rich overnight BUT I'm concerned about retail's involvement. Right now, retail has the ability to participate in crypto with minimal barriers How will that change once Clarity is done

@depreciationguy I'm looking at a 700k storage facility currently. Not quite under contract yet. Would you expect 20-30% to be depreciated in year 1 with cost seg?

Here is an example of putting together an estimate for a regular client of ours This is a pretty bare bones flex space complex This one has a basis of $12,327,994 and will end up generating hopefully around $2,700,000 of depreciation for 2026 taxes Takes about 30-40 minutes to research the property and put this together Why this matters: it gives the clients a good snapshot of how the cost seg study should shakeout and is a pretty efficient process to make sure everyone is on the same page with expectations The live results banner on the top is a game changer for everyone internally Let's save some investors some money

@Storage_Venture What's cash on cash currently and once stabilized?

We closed on a storage facility in North Dakota in December 2024. 15 months later: * Q1 revenue up 49% YoY * March revenue hit 40K for the first time * Avg. monthly went from 28K to 38K We expanded the original property (just now leasing up) and acquired a second 9K SF facility that’s already cash flowing $3,500/mo but should cash flow 5k/month upon stabilization. Still in lease-up on both. Occupancy went from 98% to 84% after purchase and expansion, and now sits at 86% The ceiling hasn’t been hit yet. Small market storage is still alive and well.

@CryptoWendyO You have dickshit so called influencers like yourself, with a retail following, fudding and saying Bitcoin is going to zero. I have zero respect for you at this point

I think this might be one of the worst bear markets, sentiment wise, not price wise. It really feels that the entire crypto industry is being absorbed into traditional finance with retail being left behind, the very group that made bitcoin and crypto what it is today. Yes, price is still down for bitcoin and many assets, but the drawdowns are not like other cycles. I think the unknown of the future for retail, considering the current state of the economy is unsettling.

@dp77517570 @CryptoWendyO Absolute trash.

@CryptoWendyO What the fuck is the purpose of your account? Spewing pure garbage on a daily basis so you can earn a few bucks

Bitcoin is going to ZERO.

@CryptoWendyO Shut the fuck up dude. You're an influencer spreading FUD. The industry already has enough of a black eye, it doesn't need the influencers spreading garbage.

@MrJonesSTRs So 20% down is 105k, plus closing costs, so 120k, plus 200k in property repairs/improvements. Assume 320k cash in - 236k revenue, what is the client's net after all expenses and mortgage?

Purchase Price $525,000 Couple hundred thousand dollars later... Year 1 Revenue $236,000 Tax Savings $92,400 Want your own high performing Short Term Rental? 👇 STRsearch.com

@ThinkAppraiser Mortgage loan origination

If you make more than $200,000 a year, what is your job?

@MrJonesSTRs Okay so if I make 400k a year and pay 100k in federal taxes, and do this. Does the IRS literally send me a refund for the full 100k?

You can just do things: -Save over $50k+ in taxes -Rent your Airbnb for over $2,000/night

@Storage_Venture What's the cash on cash total for these?

Here’s a real snapshot from our storage facilities in ND: 411 units 347 occupied (84%) $107K collected YTD 84% of tenants on autopay 87% enrolled in tenant protection 17 units overlocked Most operators obsess over occupancy. We obsess over systems and management. Autopay means predictable cash flow. Tenant protection means ancillary revenue. Overlocks mean we enforce our policies that our customers agreed to - no exceptions. This portfolio runs with one operations manager and one boots on the ground. I haven’t visited since our expansion (even then I didn’t really have a need to go) That’s the goal. Not 100% occupancy. A business that performs without you in it.
