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.

@fortworthchris has got a thing for industrial real estate.

His takes on industrial infill, moated markets and RE corners others aren't playing in have lead him to build a BIG investment firm.

twitter.com/fortworthchris
@quinnjmiller prints money by handing out candy... via vending machines.

I've toured his warehouse and follow him on twitter for the how to of passive-ish businesses via vending. Smart dude.
@studentrentpro is all about student housing, the niche, the riches, the sorority b's....

I love his takes on pricing and screening for the asset class. Plus he's funny and non-PC so tha's a win.

@TyronMcDaniel builds homes in the hood.

His flips from literal crack house to white picket fence are incredible. Not to mention that opportunity zone money he's making.

@rohindhar is your all about vacation rentals in varying markets.

His take on location, proximity, constrained markets and why bears can me an STR nightmare are goldmines & fascinating.

My hands down favorite airbnb investor, flipper, and designer @RobuiltChannel

His Youtube videos put all my content to shame.
@PomplianoTony he's @APompliano dad.

Honestly sometimes he comments on my stuff about his boring biz's and mobile homes etc and I"m like damn Dad, teach me more.

Also how are all your kids such BA's?
@samtleslie he's a searcher and a business buyer.

Runs some HVAC companies (he bought) and shares the good the bad and the dirty.

Follow for the SMB advice.
@BostonBen5 likes to slide into... parking spots.

He's a parking investor. I am very jealous and want to own some of these. I follow him to get FOMO.
Boring is the new sexy in business.

Also - who else is doing this?
Are there any women?
I need a longer list.

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” 😂

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
