As a Waffle House connoisseur, if the dining area of a WaHo is closed, you need to get out of there immediately
Jun 12
Late night snack in New Orleans at Waffle House again. Unfortunately we had to eat in the parking lot this time because they closed the dining area and only allowed takeaway.

A German visiting Auburn, Alabama, to watch Lionel Messi and Argentina play Iceland stopped at a Buc-ee's and ate brisket sandwiches on a stack of deer feeder corn.
A sentence never before uttered in all of human history.

“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney

“Historians aren’t really sure what the Millennial Whoop sounded like. One description was that it sounded like a foxhunt yip mixed with a banshee squall.
An old Millennial was invited to speak before a ladies’ society dinner, and they asked him to demonstrate the Millennial Whoop. He said he couldn’t do it sitting down — it had to be done at a run — and besides, he couldn’t do it with a mouth full of false teeth and a stomach full of food.”

OK…were you a Stomp Clap Hey Millennial or a Millennial Whoop Millennial?

This is called re-trading.
Do this regularly and you’ll be blacklisted by every broker in your market.
Short term gain, long term pain.

Fixer upper gets listed for $250k.
I offer $180k with 3% commission — I’m a licensed agent and my company is the buyer.
Plan is to wholesale it for $190k. Needs $75k in work and will be worth $320k after repairs.
Listing agent says too low.
4 weeks later our CRM notifies me the list price dropped to $225k. I follow up. Agent still says $180k is too low.
Another month goes by. CRM notifies me again — price drops to $210k. I follow up. Agent says they think it’ll work.
I draft the offer, send it over, and it gets accepted.
We price the deal at $190k and sell it — signed contract and EMD in hand.
While we’re still in DD, I tell the agent my buyer needs a $20k price reduction to move forward, but they’re ready to wire EM and waive the rest of DD.
Seller meets us halfway. Price drops to $170k.
We make $25k.
That’s the exact play we run wholesaling MLS properties.

There’s an unreported story in Florida right now, about various tax collectors taking a commission from the education millage referendums — millions of dollars. And taxpayers have no idea. When they find out — they’re livid. And in Sarasota— forced our collector to give it back.

This morning I asked someone if they'd be open to selling me their strip center.

Orange production in Florida has collapsed over 95% in less than 25 years. 100% of trees are now infected with a disease officially deemed “incurable.”
Who killed the Florida orange? My investigation, in @slate, into the lost empire of the old citrus state.

Not mentioned is what Florida's chief economist told lawmakers last year:
Baby boomers "love Florida," she said. They've been driving Florida's recent boom.
But they'll all hit retirement age by 2030. That's when FL is expected to have more deaths than births each year.

In high cost markets we should try putting say 4 of these into a rectangle and stacking them, with a central single stair inside.

Why do buildings and new communities in America keep getting uglier every year?
It’s not a talent problem — it’s a policy problem.
In this clip, @AustinTunnell explains what he’d change to make beautiful buildings possible again.

Go to them. Clubs, churches, lodges, etc. This stuff all still exists. It's a bunch of old people who will be thrilled you showed up. Bring a friend if you're nervous. You guys have to stop intellectualizing the "loneliness crisis" and go end it by the way you live your life.

Honest question.
How do we rebuild this?
How do we rebuild our social institutions?
