One of my best friends is a 32 year old self made real estate mogul. He didn't go to an Ivy League school, start his career on Wall Street, or chase home run deals. Instead, he's spent the last 13 years stacking singles buying and building small single family homes in duplexes

In the last 365 days, I've visited more than 15 markets, walked more than 100 projects / lots, closed more than 25 loans, and eaten at more airport Chili's than I would like to admit. We've underwritten hundreds of deals, said no to most, yes to few, and forged relationships

Can anyone @X help my friend @ybfollard get his account un-suspended? He got an email saying his account showed signs of “inauthentic behavior,” but he’s a legit guy. He only posts about real estate, not anything controversial. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
