Closing on a piece of land today that I owned. Bittersweet moment because I basically got the land for free, got the plans approved, and then ran into construction issues and $$$. Turns out you need a solid stack of reserves for construction—these construction lenders don’t pay your contractors as the work is done. They only reimburse after you pay, which defeats the purpose. Luckily, we worked out a seller-finance deal with the new buyer. He put 50% down, and I financed the other half. So I get some money upfront, plus $1,000 a month for the next 15 months, and then he’ll pay off the remaining balance. I’m now this guy’s number-one fan because I want to see the project succeed—from a whole different angle.

Quick update on the $2 house we listed: 🔥 55,000+ views on Zillow + Redfin (not even counting the social media chaos) 🔥 10+ offers 🔥 Several buyers calling with NO agents or lenders 🔥 More haters than a Taylor Swift album drop This thing is doing exactly what we hoped — insane traffic, free marketing, and real leads. Thinking my next one might be even crazier…👀 Buy One, Get One Free?? Sometimes you gotta break the system to get noticed. Publicity is everything. The leads are real. If you’re not doing something bold with your listings… why not?

"Growing on IG the right way" is the name of the course. I know social media can feel like a challenge (what do I post? who am I talking to? how do i generate leads?). I put together a quick walkthrough for beginners that breaks it all down - specifically for people in real estate. If you’ve ever said: - “I don’t know what to post” - “I’m not getting any engagement” - “I want to get better, but I don’t have a strategy” This was made for you 👇 You’ll leave with: ✅ A clear goal ✅ A mapped-out audience ✅ Daily actions to hit your goal ✅ Real examples (like how to get to 5 loans a month) ✅ A repeatable system that takes the guesswork out 🎯 I even show how to build an idea list, connect with future clients, and pull inspiration when you're stuck. Let me know if you go through it - happy to give feedback, help you tailor your goals, or build out your content plan 🔥

Situation: - Bought a house for $670,000 back in September 2023 - Expected to sell it for $1,000,000 based on rates and comparables - Had tenants who didn't pay rent and took 5 months to evict. - Housing market changed, and now homes are not selling well. - We have 4 investors involved in this project (First time) - Currently listed the house at $950,000 no traffic - We've spent a total of $921,000 on this house (Eviction and foundation repairs popped up) Possible Plans: 1. Cash Out Refinance: 2. Keep and Rent: 3. Reduce Price: Goal: - Wanted to sell for $1,000,000 to make a profit. - Now need to find the best way to handle the situation without big losses. What questions do you guys have with the information above? How should we proceed forward? If we cash out refinance, all investors gain their equity back but lose owner ship. If we keep and rent, all money is tied up and they share with monthly losses and gains.
