    Best Whiskey you've ever had

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The best - The guys at Four Roses brought a sample barrel to a golf tournament I sponsored. No name or info...but the best I ever had. The most memorable - JW Dant. I heard my grandfather drank it in his day. I would have liked to have one with him. I stop by a local watering hole and have one...

    Have Smartphones Destroyed Humanity?

    HOT! 
    Agreed. I have an interesting problem with smartphones. I like reading books on mine. I read all the time...so I'm sure it looks like I have a problem. I worry that my kids won't/can't make the distinction.

    EXECUTION 
    Baby steps. I plan to keep using my data to find "lost" money through efficiency, speed etc. That coupled with increasing prices due to demand. For instance, I've shaved about 3 months off my build time. At the same time I've increased the price on every house. That spread will help me get...

    Let's Build a Spec House!

    EXECUTION 
    Yes, margins are increasing. My first house was 7%, the last one was 13%. I'm still trying to hit that magic 20% but it is hard. I still work 60+ hours but it's fun so I don't mind for now. I hired my first PM when I started missing things I normally catch. Owning your own equipment is a big...

    Is a home an appreciating asset? Think Slowlane Context

    SLOWLANE REAL ESTATE 
    Your paying it either way. Ok, I'll take the opposite stance as @Kak just so you have a comparison. IF - you live in a market that usually appreciates due to population growth (think Florida, California etc) and IF you buy at the right time and IF you sell at the right time, you can do well...

    Feels Like I'm Doing Things Right But... One Year No Results

    I don't think you are going to get where you want to go with that approach. Call me cynical but I don't consider wholesaling real estate a business. Maybe a hustle if you stretched it. Either way, its the bottom of the barrel in real estate. I certainly wouldn't put it on my resume. Have you...
