Being active on twitter over the past 12 months has easily been the highest value work (in real dollars) of any single period of my entire career (next 30 yrs included).

2 hours per day. 14 hours per week.

The highest ROI of any work I’ve ever done or ever will do.
I went from no LPs and no LPs in site to raising $7MM in a 5 month period from folks I met right here.

Will probably be hundreds of millions over next 30 years.
I’ve already sold $350k in online courses and have done $150k in consulting.

Planning to grow significantly over next few years.
I’ve met mentors and friends and gotten direct access to entrepreneurs and investors whom I’d previously only been able to read their books and listen to their podcasts this time last year.
And most importantly of all:

I’ve learned a shit load about myself and my thinking has been honed.

My communication skills are better.

My leadership is better.

Through teaching and challenging myself right here Ive become a better entrepreneur.
Yes, there are haters.

Yes, you’ll look like a fool from time to time.

Yes, you’ll change your mind and swallow your pride.

But I’m telling you, it’s worth it.
Huge shoutout to @moseskagan for convincing some stranger he didn’t even know to get on here and do the work.

Changed the trajectory of my life, the folks in my company, and the life of my kids and grandkids!

Crazy.

My wife isn’t wired to care as much about money (numbers on a screen in some invisible bank somewhere) as I am.

She could care less when I talk about the size of deals, profit, loss, risk, potential, etc.

She thinks and desires totally different things. She’s wired that way.
It must be freeing to live life not totally fixated on something that only matters up to a certain point (which we crossed a while back).

And here I am starting at a computer screen 30 hours a week working to grow those invisible numbers.

For what?

Ego? Status? Pride?
In a way it’s a blessing because I’ve been lucky enough that my addiction has set our family up pretty well.

But in other ways I see so many men totally ignore every other area of life in favor of growing those damn numbers.

Health. Kids. Spouses. Friends. Hobbies. Balance.

How to buy a house in a hot market:

Fire your buyers agent (or don’t get one). You’re at a disadvantage with a multi-offer scenario.

Work directly with the seller agent.

Make offer with 2% credit to seller and 1% more commission for the seller agent.
Disclaimer before the buyers agents try to burn me at the stake:

Don’t do this if you don’t know how to represent your own best interests.

But if you know what you’re doing, this is the best way to win the house because it can be $10-30k that isn’t going to your agent.
My FIL bought a house in red-hot Athens GA under this exact scenario.

4 offers right at $370k. One was ours.

Other 3 had buyers agents.

Seller agent credited 2% ($7400) on top of our highest and best and he made an extra 1%.

We paid less, seller made more.

We won.

We bought a 30k SF self storage facility in a rural town in December of 2020 for $1,300,000.

It was 100% full. Historical financials were solid: $13k per month every month for the previous 3 years.

First 4 months in the books. Excited about the way this one is performing.
A little more color here:

We were all in after closing costs and capex at $1,400,000.

We got a loan for $975k (70% LTV) at 4.25% with 1 yr I/O.

The insurance and property taxes you see here are for the year.

We'll spend about $5,500 a month on average the rest of the year.
Our revenue will average out at about $18,500 per month the rest of the year. Total revenue around $220k on the yr.

Total expenses at $67,800.

Net operating income: $152,200

Interest at $3,450 / month, $41,400 for the yr. Capital reserves of $12,000.

If your kid isn’t in the top 1% of sports by 3rd grade stop devoting your life to living vicariously through them.
Ok guys shit on me and nitpick the details if you want.

The point:

Too many parents are WAY to serious about sports and athletic success for their kids because of their own ego.

Stop being selfish. It’s not about you.
It’s obvious I hit a nerve.

Parents who devote thousands of hours and every weekend (and every last dollar in many cases) to sports for their kids are largely chasing an emotional desire.

A selfish, ego related desire.

Just like vanity “new idea” entrepreneurship.

Closed on a 3-property, 89,582 st portfolio yesterday.

That makes 13 properties and 439,557 sf acquired in the past 9 months.

6 of the 13 were on-market. 7 were off-market.

We've added 8 new employees to our team in that time frame, and we're at 12 total.
Operating fully remote (I've only met 6 of our employees in person).

The total acquisition cost of those 13 properties totals $21MM.

We have another 105,000 sf under contract to close in the next 30 days ($6.7MM) and we're sending offers daily. ImageImageImageImage
We're over $7MM in LP capital raised (90%+ from twitter).

Our deals we closed on months ago are outperforming our projections significantly.

Our stretch goal this time last year (pre-twitter) was $12MM over the next 24 months.

Life comes at you fast. Image
