@stuffaluffaguss Yeah I’ve heard whispers about something like that. Sounds interesting. That’s exactly who I am to the tee so maybe I should try.
Any resources you can recommend to learn more?

Just got an urgent investment opportunity from a realtor
Home owner is going to lose their house and there’s a foreclosure sale in 10 days
House worth $1,000,000 they owe $400k, they don’t want to sell b/c they have a 2% interest rate
Would you loan the owner $100k so they can pay off some cars and an $80,000 covid forbearance and they promise to pay you $2500/month for 12 months and add your name to title on their home?
Since they’re late on the mortgage payments they can’t refinance. So your loan would basically be for them to make payments for 12 months so they can refinance and pay you off
Is a 30% rate even allowed 😂. Seems like usury
What wrong with this situation? Would you do this?
Explain what’s happening

Bestie Q&A!: The One Question @Chamath Asks During Every Job Interview
If you want to know whether or not a candidate can contribute to your company, ask them this:
-- take a few minutes to think about something that you are an absolute expert in
-- it does not matter what it is (can be french horn, poker, chess, etc.)
-- explain it in ~2 minutes
Here's what this question shows:
Can the candidate think on their feet?
-- this forces them out of the coached answers people prepare for job interviews
Can they achieve mastery of a single thing?
-- this shows the ability to focus deeply on one goal
Can they simplify complex topics and communicate them clearly?
-- synthesizing complicated ideas or subjects in an easily understandable way is incredibly valuable

Holy ***t. I just got a quote to replace our HVAC unit, ductwork and everything, on a 2,000 sq/ft house, for $45,000.
No joke. The guys that quoted know I have a building co (subs mainly do new construction), are a reputable company but quoting normal equipment (nothing super efficient), and it’s admittedly a bit more work than standard—lath and plaster to cut through, and no insulation in the walls (historic house) so a 5 ton unit.
But this blew me away. I was expecting $30k tops. Told them so and they didn’t budge.
Is this the new normal??! How can anyone afford anything?
Guy also said these new units keep getting more complex and only to text them to last ~15 years.
From a rent perspective, over 15 years that’s $3k/year without considering time value of money, annual maintenance, or actually utility costs, JUST TO COVER THE HVAC UNIT ITSELF.
Obviously going to get more quotes, but if this is remotely real…rents are going to go up a lot more, and homeownership, even if people can afford to buy, people won’t be able to afford to maintain.
