1/ A quick thread on buying even more properties in alignment with where the market is at right now

Create a little resource for owners of construction companies and fix and flippers. It can be a FB group or a texting group with a piece of advice a day. NOTHING fancy.
2/ You can provide info about material pricing, new city ordinances that affect them, investor intros (to folks you don't need to raise from), etc. etc.

We're in that stage of the cycle where flippers are not able to deliver projects they took on.
3/ You can see this in local investor Facebook Group every day.

Usually something like "hey, I started this but I've got 3 other builds at the moment and I need someone to take this over".
4/ You can crawl through these groups as well, and that WILL get you some deals, but unless you hold the email list, the FB group or the phone numbers you're texting you're at someone else's mercy (this is called platform risk).
5/ If you're not afraid of taking over a reno midstream there are A LOT of opportunities out there right now to step in the shoes of a current flipper who underestimated the labor shortage, lumber prices, city permit runway times and so on.

1/ Do you want to buy more rentals (SFRs and MF)?

You have time and/or some in-company resources but not much of a budget?

This is what you can do. I've implemented this strategy in 1 Midwest market, more in process.

🧵
2/ Build some media (content) for current landlords.

Most small landlords are amateurs, meaning they're not educated in being landlords.

They want information, support and data.

Build a resource for them.
3/ You don't want to get overwhelmed, so start with these 3 channels:

1. Facebook groups
2. YouTube
3. Short-form podcasts

Are you getting a Boomer vibe from this list?

Good.

Because we're starting with that demographic of owners. Older, individual mom & pop investors.

1/ How can you, a SFR and/or small MF investor, leverage the extended eviction moratorium as a hedge?

Let's assume your ability to collect rent is limited & it will be for a while.

What can you do to turn the situation on its head and grow your portfolio in the next 6 months?
2/ Of course there's rental assistance, but as a deal maker you understand that a challenging situation is also an opportunity & if you're getting hit by the effects of the moratorium you want something to fight back with - to capitalize on.

You also know others are hit too.
3/ If you've ever bought existing rentals from other landlords you know that very often rental properties are mismanaged.

You can tell by the below-market rents, the physical state of the property, the lack of documents you ask for and so on.

Paul R. Williams, architect of some of the grandest homes in Hollywood & iconic buildings in L.A., learned to draw upside down bc his clients did not want to sit next to a Black man.

His handwriting is portrayed in the Beverly Hills hotel sign, which he could not stay at.
I'm happy to see this is resonating with so many. It is a sad part of who we are as a nation. Unfortunately much of this endures.

I tweet about real estate, architecture, home ownership for ppl coming from nothing & how our built environment impacts equality. Follow if you like.
I've got nothing to promote, but there's an African-American architect who sells t-shirts and apparel promoting Black architects and Black architect history.

1/ Sell Your Content or Give It Away?

A lot of you are trying to sell digital products on GR / Amazon, etc.

Let's take a look at some KPIs & the math behind what makes sense for you.

19 piece thread 👇👇👇
2/ Your numbers will vary, so these are just based on my own experiences & general understanding from speaking to people, reading, etc.

#1 Almost all ebooks don't sell.

GR won't give you the data, but if you comb through it you'll see most products have ZERO sales.
3/ E-only books on Amazon also have mostly non-sellers.

The fact that a book is up for sale does not mean it has any sales.

All it means is that someone published it (almost always self-published).
