    HOT! EXECUTION REAL ESTATE 
    Here are some additional factors to consider with this decision - Business or Investment Vehicle: If real estate is your primary business then a more active approach likely makes sense as you intend to use the income generation from flipping/selling to acquire more properties. However for...

    What's your Lambo? (What are you working for?)

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    Not trying to sound cliché but to tell people FU. The more money one has the more control they have over the people they surround themselves with. I have learned the negative of dealing with assholes is tangibly greater then the positive of nice things.

    45: Average Age of Successful Founder

    Makes total sense, more time on earth is more opportunity to hone your craft, build capital, and the right network etc. so you'd have more/better tools at your disposal while still young enough to have energy/desire to take the risk & grind it out. Also imagine many founders in this group of...

    Under Contract on 98 units in Phoenix!

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Research we've conducted indicates correlation between CAP rates and Interest rates is 0.7. So not 1 to 1 but there's a relationship there. Like all markets they're not perfect, fluctuations in supply & demand, tax structures, etc. all play into it.

    Developer wants to take my house.

    All depends on the situation but agree with others this could be great. Could be a situation where the sum of the parts are worth more then individually in which case you could walk away with an above market deal without having to go through the issues with consolidation or take on construction...

    Possible Blue Ocean? Affordable "tiny" housing park

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Love it/think there's opportunity here. Worked on a project that ended up not penciling and have a friend who's building one in a resort town. Regarding the Katrina cottage thing I think the issue might have been that real estate prices in those areas isn't expensive enough. If the cost of a...

    Any Jordan Peterson fans out there?

    HOT! 
    I'm a fan. Read 12 rules and thought it was great. Lot of reading between the lines to unlock the value. The fact that the rules almost seem too simple and logical is the beauty of it. The simplest solutions are usually the most elegant and most difficult.

    What do you think the impact of self driving cars will be?

    HOT! 
    I think a possible early play could be to create a self driving highway lane like an express lane. Highways will be the easiest to roll out automation and a dedicated lane would ensure all participants have the correct software so everybody is communicating. Likely outcome would be much faster...

    What do you think the impact of self driving cars will be?

    HOT! 
    Fascinating topic. Totally agree that at some point there will be a mass extinction of jobs. People usually draw parallels with what happened as a result of past technology innovations but as anybody who trades the markets know past performance is no indicator of future performance. What we...

    What do you think the impact of self driving cars will be?

    HOT! 
    I believe the problem with this is that there will continue to be an increasing shortage of skilled workers for what work is left. The idea being that the people who are going to see the highest levels of job loss due to automation are also likely to lack the skills or aptitude to be good at...
