The greatest privilege in life… is to be yourself.

A thread on doing the damn thing...

I *know* you have that thing inside of you... I did too BUT...
I was horrified when I first started being public, ahhhh the trolls, the name-calling, the imposter syndrome.

Ignore it.
Hell, I’m an investor. I’ve kinda walked the walk.

- raised billions
- invested hundreds of millions
- worked at Goldman Sachs
- went to Georgetown
- speak 2 languages
- built biz in LatAm
blah blah...

And mfers still be saying “it’s photoshopped” 😂
Because flip side is:
- I went to public school
- then ASU (parties not smarties)
- sucked at math
- got kinda pushed out of 2 companies
- terribly distractable
etc ec
I get questioned, called out, and worse.

Sometimes I even do it to myself in the mirror 🤦‍♀️

But guess what?
I’m having a blast, helping humans, meeting incredible builders and ultimately doing better than I ever was when I was private in finance.

So f*ck em. Whatever it is you want to do. Go do it.

You can literally build an audience & cashflow on ANYTHING.

10 accounts that will blow up on "boring" things... and why you should follow them...
@joepohlen - tweets about old people.

Well really, assisted living facilities and how to run and profit off of them.

@realEstateTrent - will not shut up about strip malls.

And he shouldn't.
His takes are tactical, interesting and he's grown 30k since I first followed him.

An opportunity for 113% - 304% Cash-on-Cash return on someone else’s real estate?

A thread on how @barrettjoneill is using mobile container storage to ‘park’ cash… (get it 😂)
Mobile container storage = kinda sexy biz.

Lots of people have made storage interesting ( aka bud @sweatystartup ) but hat about storage that moves...
@OnDemandSt0rage containers are 16’ x 8’ x 8’ constructed of steel and fiberglass

They're like Pods except you can own individual storage containers and a route or area, instead of having to start the whole business yourself.

Today, Contrarian Thinking is a thing, 100ks in our ecosystem, profitable, 7 figure ARR...

But a year ago as I told my PE firm I was leaving to do a "lil blog," they thought I was #1 joking then #2 dumb...

Leaving finance was scary.

Here's how I stopped losing sleep & jumped:
#1 I started building while still w/ a "paycheck"

Even as a partner and someone who had built before, NEVER had I had such a public potential flop if I failed.

Building in public real-time scared me to death.

I hedged my bets -> paycheck until profits.
#2 Make losses wins

I said in my head what if this fails miserably (aka no $, no readers) how could it still be a win?

Answers:
- learn to write better.
- meet 10 new investors.
- learn a new asset class & $.

Make even ur losses a potential win.

Want to get into bed? (wink)

Mattress markets take it easy bud.

Love these margins: you give me $3k, I spend $300 to create, and pocket $2700.

A boring biz 🧵
Bought a bunch of new beds for my house.

Got pissed at the difference in cost. $3k for Tempurpedic. $300 for in a box.

Went down to Amigos furniture to see what's up.
I mean why are mattress stores on every corner, they're like pawn shops.

And I KNOW those pay well.

So my homie at Amigos broke down the boring biz for me.

I spent the week with two former CIA agents.

They blew my mind.

Here’s what I learned that everyone should know:
“I always regretted saying too much, I rarely regretted saying too little.”

Allow mystery to make you look smarter than you seem.

The chatty ones often lose.
“White zone is dangerous, stay in yellow."

The white zone = you walking w/ a podcast on, not paying attention, being on autopilot.

Nothing more dangerous than not paying attention. In life, deals and being sneaky.

Details = devils.

It all started with a phone call from my friend @Mike_Dillard.

He said, “Hey Codie, just bought a big RV. I’ve called 10 places in Austin and I can’t get space to put the mfing thing anywhere?!”

That one phone call led to a hunt for RV storage spaces.
My spidey senses went off.

Is there an opportunity in them there parking stalls?

The secret to investing is one equation:

Demand > Supply = Opportunity

Opportunity is all around. People don’t want us to realize that today, but there has NEVER been a better time to be alive.
Here's why it's a great industry to buy in:

It's very fragmented (no big Blackrock’s bulk buying)

RV parks are similar to self-storage industry 25 years ago; it’s early and not overbuilt

42 million people camp yearly

Demand WAY higher than supply
