Imagine paying $6K to $15K for every single integration in the parking industry... and then doing it over and over and over again. It’s like being stuck in a perpetual loop of déjà vu, except this one costs millions and eats up a lot of time. In an industry where 'out of the box' is still stuck in the box, the question isn’t if things will change — but when. The answer? Flomo. We’re here to break the cycle. We just need VCs to stop hitting the snooze button on the parking industry and start taking it seriously. *cough* CAGR ~13% at 5+ billion *cough* Tick-tock, folks. The future of parking is waiting... and it's about time we stop paying for the same thing twice.

Would you rather make $3,500 a month  or $12,000-$15,000 a month? Well, that's what I'm currently dealing with right now. I bought a property in College Station, Texas (where them Aggies are at!) And, I've got some students in there right now. They're paying me about $3,500 a month. I think it's, like, $40 grand a year. And it's a break even. But I'm working with Somerled Designs this summer, and they're gonna fully deck that thing out. We're gonna design it. We're gonna fully furnish it, We're gonna put it in a hot tub, We're gonna put it in a fire pit  Not only am I seeing that I could make about $150,000-$175,000 a year, but they're seeing that as well. That's the game changer of Airbnb investing You can basically 3-5 x what you would typically do on a long term investment compared to a short term investment And that's how I'll make $12,000-$15,000 per month compared to my $3,500 a month right now.  #shorttermrental #airbnbinvestment #realestateinvestment

Well, this is interesting. This is a smart strategic move for Murdoch's media empire. The first rule of business in the digital age is that "every company is a media company now" (Tom Foremski). Media empires and property businesses have varied histories (DMGT owned 55% and then sold off its stake in Rightmove, Axel Springer invested €143m in Purplebricks before the whole thing was eventually sold for £1), so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. To adapt what Simon Whale said elsewhere: a Co-Star-On the Market ($2.5bn) versus Newscorp-REA-Rightmove ($10.1bn) ding dong suddenly raises the stakes massively. #propertyportals #rightmove #newscorp

As someone who works in the world of emerging tech, I often have conversations that are thinly veiled exercises in FUD[1]. Sometimes this is authentic, but more often the person that I am talking to is simply doing their best impersonation of Simon Cowell and pretending that our conversation will culminate in a place where I stop talking and they recite their best version of: "Yea, no, I just don't (yikes, and I gotsta make like "Le Baby" and head out) see it. Nope nope, don't see it at all." The favorite phrase of this sort of FUD-warrior it to say: "Explain to me in one sentence what you are saying." Maybe they are going to really listen, but more than likely they have already made up their mind. This sort generally knows how to make the MONEY MONEY MONEY[2]. You want to know how they make this money? They are a "middleman" of sorts, a rent talker-- literally. Now maybe they are adding some value to their tenants, to those "rent givers", but that all depends on the market. Which brings me to my real point. What if the sure-fire way to get ahead in life is actually by leveraging new #web3 (really #world3) technology that seeks to eliminate the extra people in the system. You know...those people that add little or no value and just live off of that sweet sweet passive income? What if, as this video implies, that boring vanilla scheme of being a landlord is about to blow up: https://lnkd.in/gmDYd5Ux Well, maybe it is time that we all learn to work together. Maybe it is time to turn down the FUD and put those ears and brain to good use. Maybe it is time to actually listen, because I do believe that we are in a time of transition. The middle class is dying quickly, and for that that are still desperately holding onto the old ways, you may need to lead, follow, or get out of the way. A new social contract is needed, and it won't be written by those with power. (sorry, that was more than one sentence, deal with it Hombre). 🤣 [1] Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt [2] They are some kind of Junior Assistant Donald J.Trump of money.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it 🤷♂️ When tenants feel valued and heard, they’re more likely to stay long-term. A long term relationship via good communication, fair treatment, and mutual respect can turn a simple rental agreement into a lasting partnership. Good people and good tenants are reliable and something worth more than just a few more bucks. Like a good ole car that does the job… #buyandhold #whatyouknow #northofnyc #freshperspective #homesandharmonies

In this clip, Nicholas Wallwork talks about the rising expectations for rental properties. He highlights the need for modern features like video entry systems and electric car charging points, stressing that these additions are becoming essential as the industry shifts towards higher standards. Nicholas points out that young people are struggling to buy homes, pushing the average age of first-time buyers into their mid to late thirties. This means more people are renting, and developers need to step up their game to stay competitive.

Glamping, STRs, Airbnbs, VRBO's, hostels... what do they all have in common? They all rent out their place for short stays AND The profits are much higher than traditional real estate investments If you're doing it right when you are scoping out your deals. This is why I'm focusing on these STR (short term rental) options. AND I love the lifestyle it brings. I love DIY and hospitality. If you want passive, stay out of STR. What interests you more, active or passive investments? P.S. What's one thing you want to learn more about with STRs?

Be Like Craig – Consistency & Processes Matter Let me tell you about Craig Gordon. This guy is rock solid – and so are his restaurants! I first met him back in 2018 when he opened his place in Putney. I was in a rough spot, dealing with a major loss. I’d pop in on Saturdays, and every single time, Craig was there, greeting me with a warm smile, a flawless flat white or a crisp glass of white wine. Now, I’ve never actually worked with Craig, so why am I sharing this? Because a lot of us – especially small business owners – could use a bit more of that “Craig magic.” Craig has built his business on a foundation of solid processes, consistent quality, and a fantastic team. You won’t find clunky systems or bad tech slowing things down at his places. And you know what that’s earned him? A fiercely loyal customer base. When Covid hit, his customers rallied around him, buying their names on bricks to keep HomeSW15 afloat – all for the promise of one epic post-pandemic party. And trust me, it was BIG! Those bricks and our names are still on the wall today. More recently, when a new site in Barnes came up, Craig reached out to his regulars again. And, once again, that loyalty came through. Thanks to the relationships and trust he built, they helped fund the opening of HomeSW13. It’s Craig’s eye for smooth processes, consistency, and his amazing team that makes the experience what it is. But it’s also his genuine care and courage to ask for help when needed that sets him apart. I was at the new spot earlier at the weekend, and yep – the bricks are back, filling with names of all those who supported this new venture. So, if you’re ever around Putney or Barnes, drop in. Try the marmalade margarita – it’s a must! 🍹 And if clunky processes and inconsistency are slowing your business down, let’s chat. I’ll bring the “Business Therapy” – you bring the ambition. Let’s become a bit more like Craig together! #BemoreCraig #HomeSW15 #HomeSW13 #BanishClunkyProcesses
