@acquisizioni Not being able to eat rice with a trident seems like a skill issue

Just grabbed lunch with my MD and analyst. We last minute decided to eat at Bryant park (instead of the office) and it was my job to source forks. This is what I came back with and my MD was pissed (he had rice base). I can’t stop laughing 😆

@AlexForbesOps Would love to diy some of it. Just pay someone for driveway, doors and fence. Confident I can do it but finding the time would be hard

@AlexForbesOps That figure included swapping out window for French doors and deleting existing door and stairs. 150ft of driveway paving with Belgian block frame. Rebuild of 40 ft of stone retaining wall. New 40ft fence and privacy plants.

My wife and I demo’d the deck today in prep to either re-deck it or do a patio. My wife is a beast. She’s half my size and has helped with just about every home project since we bought our first house. Never complains. Fun fact. We bought our home in 2019 and spent 10 months of nights and weekends renovating every square inch of the interior ourselves. I received a Masters from YouTube University that year and didn’t hire a single contractor. We took a 2 week break halfway through the renovation to get married, did a quick honeymoon, and were right back to it. That was one of the most challenging years of my life. Growing a young business figuring everything out for the first time and learning everything I could about working on houses. I’m super proud of that year but I still get the itch to do major DIY projects and 10 years later my body has a hard time keeping up. Hence the back brace during my Jersey Mike’s break. Which was only halfway through deck demo and I was absolutely cooked. Anyway, should we go budget friendly and re-deck it or get quotes for a stone patio and pergola?

@AlexForbesOps All in. Patio is 20x40. Deck would be smaller. Waiting on quotes to come in but it would be elevated. Wife’s rough patio vision

@theWrz Just the patio was 100k or that was including everything else? How big of a patio?

@AlexForbesOps It’s a small part of a larger project including repaving a driveway, rebuilding a retaining wall and adding new door and stairs. First quote for flagstone patio was 100k. That will probably be the cheapest

@theWrz Are you getting quotes for both deck and patio? Mind sharing approx square footage, material, and ballpark quotes?

@moseskagan That was great. Always inspiring to me. Might be time to revisit blog again and find some more of the playbook.

Really enjoyed this interview Not sure I've described our experience with our first deal in quite this much detail before... was pretty insane

@sarah_cone It’s the best. Welcome!

@_specofdirt Gorgeous!

Have a child, go into debt if you have too

@ThinkAppraiser @BayAreaREMatt Came here to say this

@BayAreaREMatt I guess co-ops would be up there too

Condos are the most annoying type of real estate ever. Nothing is worse.

@jamesonhaslam This would take you to the next level. If you just showed up to my house and built me a deck I wouldn’t call the cops. Unless you wanted me to for the clicks

fr tho who are all these white guys who just have all this free time to go clean up yards

@GayBearRes @StatisticUrban Truth!

@StatisticUrban If you go to the flagship in Flushing, you can get menu items you don’t get anywhere else

Xi'an Famous Foods has literally the perfect distribution of locations. They serve four cities and they are the exact, correct four.

@lindsay__stamp 1 rental is not enough. Sell it vacant and cut bait.

You’re down to 1 final rental property. Your tenant calls and says he’s moving out May 15th. You bought the house in 2020 with a 3% interest rate, cash flows nicely, and your percent equity is 71.4%. Also, you want to relocate across country with your family. What’s your move?

@rustbeltkid1 Truth!

Wife and I both had a bit of a crash out regarding how much upkeep the 20 acre farm will need after the second worst winter on record. The fact that our forefathers took an entire nation from from wilderness to civilization is nothing short of a divine miracle.

What was the best thing you read, watched, or listened to this week? Any topic is fair game.

@bethanyjbabcock 2 speed queens

Y’all are good for real estate advice. Who’s got appliance advice? I need a new LARGE capacity washing machine asap. What should I be looking at?

@JulieChangRE The worst. I ask for an extra shot of novocaine before leaving the chair.

I do not like taking drugs and can't take NSAIDS so is it too early to start drinking because my dental works = feels like I was punched in the face lololol

@dtmorgan18 What’s the opposite of overalls? Underalls?
