A tiny home doing $10K/month on Airbnb sounds insane. 😲 Until you see the numbers. Month one brought in $10.5K. All-in monthly expenses landed around $6.7K–$7K. That includes cleaning, utilities, financing, software, assistants, and marketing. Which pockets us about $3.5K.

If cities came with labels like flip zone, BRRRR goldmine, or don’t even try, investing would be easy. Since they don’t, learn to read the state, city, and neighborhood so you actually buy where the math works. Want my free market-reading guide? Grab it at

Inbox chaos loses deals. I had texts, emails, DMs, and screenshots everywhere. Sound familiar? Follow-ups living in my head. Leads slipping through the cracks. The problem was not motivation. It was organization. Once everything lived in one place with REsimpli, follow-up

$4,500 isn’t “small” for any landlord. Steadily built landlord insurance that actually covers landlord problems. No buried clauses. No hidden exclusions. Stop paying for insurance that won’t pay you back. Go to https://t.co/22dakbPIM7 and let them review your current

Is anyone else tired of playing “Guess That Text”? I swear half my day used to be bouncing between email, random DMs, and a mystery phone number asking “Hey, is the place still available?” And I’m like… which place? who is this? why is this my life? 🙃 So I finally cleaned it

🔥 Hot take: The housing market didn’t get weird. It finally stopped being weird. 2021 was the real distortion. You could trip over a house and make money. Today looks dramatic in contrast to previous "weird" years. What you’re seeing now is the return to normal. Agree or
