Had a guy selling a house scream and yell that Zillow said his house was worth $1,221,000
It's worth about $915,000
I told him the "A" in Zillow stands for accuracy

Just got off phone with a friend, said his wife wanted a pool🏊♂️
She brought over a contractor to get an estimate.
My friend paid the contractor $500 bucks to tell his wife that the backyard isn't big enough.
Best investment he's probably ever made...and he lives on half acre

The overlooked characters getting destroyed by the rent moratorium: Landlords.
- 70% of landlords own less than $400,000 worth of real estate. (Losing ~$1,800/month for 11 months)
- 59% of landlords owe mortgages.
Why should renters get bailed out but not landlords?

Property taxes must come down with school closures

No schools?

On what planet should a blue collar worker who chose not to go to college pay off a white collar workers loan?
No hard working tax paying citizen without a college degree should be paying for their managers student loan
Stealing from the working class to redistribute to wealthy
Here’s how we tackle the student debt crisis: cancel it for every borrower AND make public colleges debt-free.
No one should face incredible debt just for pursuing an education.

For one of my AIRBNB's, I added a hot tub to test it's impact on profitability.

Increased average nightly rate by ~$75 and now maintain a 99% occupancy rate.

Just acquired a small hotel in Florida.
The deal made 0 sense with the current interest rates.

With seller financing the deal is an absolute CASH COW.
