Despite not posting or engaging very much, I've been fortunate enough to connect with amazing people through Twitter! Always interested in meeting more people within the SF tech community, as well as the new people in the real estate Twitter space #MyXAnniversary

Very rarely do you meet a better operator and team player Excited to cross paths in the future
Shoutout to corgi for the great experience. Learned a lot and onto the next thing. Stay tuned :) I built the most AI native cafe in the world as tech ops. I’ll miss you @corgicafeco, always keep the community first. The community was the reason I joined in the first place. Shoutout to all the legends at the cafe and upstairs, this won’t be the last you hear or see me! gg

Spoke to a new pre-seed VC who was raising fund 1. Asked about his thesis, he replied something along the lines of "You really just know it when you get the good energy from the pitch" Is ~vibe-based~ investing still the strategy these days?πŸ˜‚

After my time here in San Francisco, it's extremely apparent that there isn't enough diversity in CRE across the country

#Retwit operators, is it normal to be both excited and nervous? We have our first LP subscription before officially starting fundraising for SFH Fund 1 Feel free to check out the brochure (link or DM) & let me know what you think. Never want to miss anything important w/ LPs...

Seeing that SFH portfolios in midwest/ southern submarkets have better opex ratios than MF at ~=AUM. This is making a great opportunity for single-family as an asset class. The caveat is the high upfront costs to access all of the capex & differed maintenance. What do you think?
As a CRE broker, I've seen a lot of ethically questionable housing and management practices. Rentals should be a safe space for families to thrive. I believe that socially responsible private equity will be a positive impact on our communities #s5 @_buildspace @_nightsweekends

How do you make a fund structure that incentivizes long-term holds? (vs 3-7 yr exits) Crystalized promote seems to be a great way to achieve it πŸ‘‡

Traditional Promote: Typically, GPs earn their promote (carried interest) upon the sale of an asset. Crystallized Promote: This allows the GP to periodically "crystallize" a portion of their potential promote based on the increase in the asset's value, even without a sale.

Mechanics: The asset is appraised, and the GP's promote is calculated as if a sale had occurred. Instead of receiving cash, the GP's ownership percentage in the property is increased to reflect their earned promote.

The business model canvas sucks. Not a useful tool when actually practicing entrepreneurship. Only seems good for PhDs to argue about what they think is important in a vacuum
