Stop selling lemons. The ROI is low, sales are slow, and too much product goes bad.
Add sugar and water. Sell lemonade. You will sell out faster and get a much better ROI with less product loss.
This is a post about real estate.

@NickMaccini If you need money for flips, watermarkcapital.com can help.

A buddy of mine flips houses all over the country.
He told me any deal I find, he would partner with me 50/50 on.
We’re closing out on our first flip together this week. Bought it back in late December. I’m looking to do a lot more of these.
If you have any good flips almost anywhere in the country, please send to me!!!

@clayhepler What is your normal monthly cash flow in this model? Do you just subdivide and sell to stay afloat?
English
Most people bringing in $1MIL+ in land are in a prison, here is the ideal business:
- 4–10 total team members
- $500K–$1.5M/year from flips
- 4 high-quality subdivides/year ($250K–$1M)
- One core channel + one secondary
- 90–120 day cash cycles
- <10% dependency on the founder
Gets you to $2Mil+ with 60%+ margins and a life.

@N8RealEstate Sent you a DM. We have access to private capital for projects like this.

I have done over 300 off-market land estate deals in the last 3 years.
But 1/10 knows how it's done
I made a quiz that builds a personalized scaling roadmap for exactly your stage of the business (even if you’ve never done a deal).
I used to charge for this, to get it, like and comment "DM"
(must be following - 24 hours only)

@peer_rich @grok what prize should @elonmusk get for paying the most amount of taxes in US history if the process was gamified? Please be a irreverent as possible. :-)
English
governments need to start gamifying paying taxes
give me a battlepass
awards and unlocks once you paid $ xyz in taxes
notifications what has been paid (you just paid a teachers salary)
the IRS should at least send a plaque
make paying taxes fun

@Birdyword @grok can you perform the same analysis in the United States?
English
I've said it before to almost anyone that will listen: if you expect several more degrees of global warming, you should be buying land in the Wolds of East Yorkshire (the most northwesterly red dot here), where the stream of chalky earth that predominates in Champagne ends.

Many of the European regions that are suitable for wine-growing in 2025 weren't so in 1960. Rising temperatures will continue to shift these growing regions.

@JamesLucasIT @grok can you add the moon of Titan in this image as well? It would be cool to see the size comparison to earth

This is a visual representation of the size of Jupiter compared to Earth

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says it's time to come up with a NEW NAME for American football
"This IS football. There's no question. We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff! It really doesn't make sense when you think about it!"

@zach_yadegari You should think about coming to SMU because Texas is the future. I ran the largest startup program at USC for the last decade and we could use a few more operators like yourself in Dallas. DM me to discuss :-)

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX I don’t know who will be able to come close to competing within the next decade. Blue Origin maybe?
English
The United States Space Force apparently believes that @SpaceX has saved them $40 billion+ over time due to lower costs and better performance.
Joel C. Sercel, PhD@JoelSercel
A senior guy in the Space Force told me that their estimates are that SpaceX has saved them $40B since they started contracting with them (which goes all the way back to when they were still part of the Air Force). This is due to better performance and lower cost then the legacy cost plus contracts with the military industrial establishment.

The @PEPtweets (PEP) continues to change lives and always fun to bring my @SMUCoxstudents to volunteer at their semi-annual business plan contest!
Very nice touch to include a customized thank you card with my name and my volunteer history, going back to 2015!

@FightOnRusty Thanks for sharing that one @FightOnRusty. I was one of the team captains for that game and it just made me smile :-)
