Housing needs to be affordable and have increased supply. Here’s how we can get it without taxpayer subsidy. 1. 50 year mortgages- stop your virtue signaling. This isn’t for everyone but in fast appreciating markets it can build wealth instead of renting. I’m fine restricting them to first time buyers, buyers with 700 credit scores, or something similar. 2. Roll back building codes 30 years. Almost none of these new codes add value despite claims of “saving lives” or fire safety. Yet these things easily add 20-30% to construction costs. 3. Put a maximum timeline and cost on entitlements. Endless studies and reports add cost and risk and rarely turn up anything that wasn’t obvious anecdotally. 4. Put the human habitat first. Obscure bugs and rodents shouldn’t have any influence on housing approvals.

All this Ebola talk is fearmongering. It’s an STD. It won’t spread in civilized society.

Nothing would be more fitting than for trump to announce a deal with Iran right before Memorial Day.

@MillionaireDoor Because he’s no longer traveling the world. Working in the US is such a blessing.

Last year, I saw Brooks Koepka on the course at a LIV event. He looked miserable...out of shape, needed a haircut, shirt untucked, frown faced. Back on PGA tour, he looks great and happy. He chased $$$ and learned a valuable lesson.

@Osint613 farmer doesn’t mean conservative anymore.

U.S. President Donald Trump: "Word is that Rand Paul and Lauren Boebert, two very difficult, and highly unreasonable, Republican Votes, are right now in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, which I won by 31 points, parading around like fools for the Worst “Republican” Congressman in the History of our Party! His name is Thomas Massie, and he is a disloyal, ungracious, and sanctimonious FOOL, who almost never votes for even the best of Republican Values. The man running against Massie, Ed Gallrein, is a true American Patriot, a Farmer from Kentucky, and a Military Hero. He is loyal, and MAGA all the way — VOTE FOR ED GALLREIN, AND WIPE AWAY THE STENCH OF ONE OF THE WORST CONGRESSMEN IN THE HISTORY OF OUR GREAT PARTY, THOMAS MASSIE. MAY WE NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIM AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

@ithinkformysel5 @FiredUpCoug Schools are funded by days attendance so they literally lose money when kids miss. It’s terrible. Not about their education nearly as much as it’s about the dollar value.

@subdivisionguy @FiredUpCoug School was way more fun when they didn't have parents sign up for automatic notifications for every single damn little thing.

We found out that our teenage son skipped school today. It's the end of the school year, tests are done, and I don't think he really missed anything, but I don't like that he didn't tell us. My fellow parents on X, what would you do about this?

@FiredUpCoug This is the right play. However, my parents didnt care if I skipped school but there was just something about telling them that made it less “cool”. I was no longer “skipping”. It was more fun when we skipped without telling parents. It just was.

We told him when he got home that we need to know next time he skips school, so we know where he's at if there is an emergency. Then, we had him go out and mow the lawn. We told him if he had told us that he was going to skip school, we would have excused him, and he could have mowed the lawn when it was nice and cool this morning instead.

For several years all the flipshow “gurus” really only made money from appreciation. Good for them, but very few actually knew how to buy right or add value. Most could’ve just bought the house, let it sit for six months instead of spending 6 months doing renovations, and then sell it again as-is for about the same profit without any construction risk. And yeah same with rentals. If you aren’t in a high appreciating market, then it’s basically a little better than a savings account. Three years of cash flow can easily be wiped out by one AC repair, water leak, etc. Not to mention the tenant drama in the meantime.

Dabbling in residential real estate seems like a huge waste of time. Buying a property to rent it for $3k / month while dealing with tenants and maintenance issues sounds like a nightmare. So many better ways to make money.

@shawngorham V6 don’t go home without it.

Talk me out of this... 1 owner, 120,000 miles, garage parked Only down side is its an automatic I am so in my 90's truck era

I got sick of requesting help on social media and getting bombarded with messages mostly from less than desirable. I created a video jobs/gigs app to save both sides of the equation a lot of time. Cut down on the driving and having strangers in your house screen them with ReelJobs! jobs.reeljobsapp.com/web/listing/75

@abrazomack She wants out. “Starting a new life” a few hours away.

@subdivisionguy Give her a 12 mo recast based on actuals since her books suck. Or a two year royalty on top line? She can be at risk alongside. Both at your price.

I’m trying to buy an RV campground but the seller wants a high price at an 8 cap and NOI that’s half documented with very unprofessional books and the other half is all cash with no bank deposits. She owns/runs it alone. We are about 30% off on the sale price. She came down on her ask already about 40% since last summer. Long way to go.

@rising_crust @abrazomack It checks off a lot of boxes for me so yeah I have strong desires… but also know the first rule of real estate development: you make your money on the acquisition. It’s just frustrating when the data justifies my offer. Time will tell. No rush here.

@abrazomack @subdivisionguy My point exactly.

@nathan_covey No cities for us. Fun to visit. Have fun up there.

@subdivisionguy we love it too. We're now headed to Philadelphia for at least 3 years, which will be much different than Savannah, but still a type of "island" for us. We will go wherever the Lord wants us to long term!

One of the best decisions my wife and I made was leaving Utah. We’re now wrapping up 3 years in Savannah, GA. It’s been hard: no family, hot summers, small airport, not much to do. But it forced us to grow. A professor once told me to “move to an island.” Savannah was ours.

@PantsToTravel Thanks for the feedback!

@subdivisionguy I prefer the ease of online booking but I respect the call only places

RV folks: how do you prefer to book your short term spots in a campground? Call, online booking through Campspot, Good Sams, etc? If the campground only books over the phone do you automatically rule them out?

@NewLowObserver @bigmikez99z @jonbrooks Even better! But some people might think we are gonna fire up the asbestos factory again.

@subdivisionguy @bigmikez99z @jonbrooks How about we roll back the codes to 1970? Would that help?

We want builders to build starter homes at $200–250k so the next generation can actually... start. Instead, they sell $400–500k+ homes and call them “starter homes.” $3,190/month is NOT a starter home.

@bigmikez99z @jonbrooks Ever worked a trade? Then you’d know.

@subdivisionguy @jonbrooks Straight up lies lmao.

@B3nL1pman Man seems way cheaper for me to run over it with my sprayer a couple times a year worh roundup.

@subdivisionguy Here’s what grok recommends

Landscape fabric? Waste of money under a gravel driveway? I’m scraping topsoil to a decent subgrade. Maybe I’ll compact… maybe I won’t. But should I lay fabric down or will it not matter in a couple years? Aggressive weeds in the deep south.

@AgBankerAustin Need to compact the sub grade?

@subdivisionguy Scrape to subgrade. Apply snapshot liberally. Lay rock and compact. Reapply snapshot occasionally and post emerge chemical.
