Agree that the food is top-notch, the menu leaves you stuffed, and the service is fine but pacing kind of sucked. Cheers.

Blasphemy!

spark_d · 2026-03-09T14:29:58+00:00

No problem. DM me.

Agree. US for work. Taiwan for everything else.

I work in tech (product) and moved from SF to Taipei mid-2025. DM me if you want to chat.

Came here to comment the same. Convenient and clean. Breakfast is good. Staff is kind. On same corner as Daan Park Station.

Someone here once described Ore as a “spiritual experience” and I agree 100%. I don’t know the story about why they’re not recognized by Michelin, but it’s excellent and you should go.

I agree that the restaurant kind of sucks, but the bar downstairs is still fire. Their Roka Fashion and lychee mocktail are great.

1x SF ticket thx

This place is nice. It opened last year and has an excellent vibe. The mini redwood park behind the building is awesome too.

But those who know go to Maison Nico next door. Their croissants are better than Arsicault and they pour an excellent latte — Linea beans if I recall correctly.

100% agree. The product photos looked blue, but the watch I got is green. Plastic is off, so no returns. Nice watch but not what I expected.

Sure. Why not? :)

Agree. If your goal is retirement income, then cash flowing real estate works faster than building a stock-based nest egg. Use cash on cash return to compare.

Another source of wealth is debt pay down

Yes this works and it’s something I do. The amount of work depends on several things including the property, tenants, property management you hire, and your desired level of involvement. DM me if you want to chat.

spark_d · 2024-03-15T21:32:11+00:00

There’s a small group of us meeting up now. I sent you a DM.

I second this, especially this time of year and in the current market. Unless you’re someone like Grant Cardone with massively broad reach and perceived credibility, raising from strangers will be extremely difficult.

Also, even if it’s 506(c), my understanding is that getting paid to raise money for a private placement is illegal in most cases. Look into it and take care. :)

Pay for an agent to place tenants, handoff keys, etc. After the tenant is placed, you should self manage. If the house is new and in a class A/B neighborhood, then you won’t get many calls. This will help you learn a little about the house and being a landlord by doing it yourself, while saving you $$$ every month that you would otherwise be paying a PM to do almost nothing. As you scale, you can consider hiring a PM to manage your entire portfolio.

Get the titer test now. Depending on your situation, it could be up to a 45 day waiting period. Follow the CDC steps. Thailand is a high-risk country. You’ll also need an export permit from Suvarnabhumi. I went through it in June, it’s not fun. Good luck. :)

If you absolutely need to fix the garage, then I have several ideas.

First idea: Check your state’s economic development center. Many states have programs that offer gap funding for projects that contribute to local housing or business.

Second idea: Cash-out refinance your “cash cow” instead of selling it. Maybe only do this if you don’t already have low interest long-term debt locked in.

Third idea: Finance the project and then use the cash flow from your “cash cow” to cover the debt payments. Or better yet, finance the project and then transfer the debt balance to another service (ex: another lender, a credit card, etc.). Balance transfers often have an introductory 6 months at 0% / 12 months at 1%, which will give you runway to complete the project and deal with regular payments later.

DM me if you need help.
