If you’re underwriting a senior housing deal, the starting question is what the resident actually pays per month, so I pulled the national numbers. CareScout’s 2025 Cost of Care Survey (data collected July to November 2025) puts the national median for assisted living at $6,200 a month. For nursi...
Hi everyone! One challenge I've been thinking about in commercial real estate investing is how investors manage multiple opportunities at the same time. Between property evaluations, broker conversations, financial analysis, due diligence, and negotiations, there are plenty of moving parts. And s...

I've been reading a few recent market reports and I've noticed one thing that keeps coming up, which is that office is starting to recover, but not everywhere. Newer buildings in good markets are doing well but older buildings in oversupplied markets are still having a tough time. Lenders are als...

How to Evaluate Private Commercial Real Estate Opportunities
Personally, unless I've got something in the 3s, which I don't since most of my portfolio is commercial, I'm looking at return on equity combined with velocity of capital more than the rate itself. If I can refinance from a 4 to a 6.5 but use that money to get a 20-30% return on a value-add deal ...
AI and data centers sit at the top of a lot of 2027 industry lists. Louisville is a live example of what happens when they actually show up in a mid-size city, so here's the ground-level version from a local agent, plus why it matters if you'll never own one. What happened here: Kentucky's first ...
Sharing some numbers from my Q3 2026 Columbus multifamily review. Renters absorbed just over 8,000 units over the past 12 months, the highest in five years. That still covers only about 78% of the record 10,333 units delivered in the same period. Demand has been strong for three years running. It...

Hello, I have some questions about commerical real estate and financing. What is really the danger in buying property if really the credit is business credit?

Couple of situations, just dealt with one. About a year ago had someone walk through our property, set off motion alarms at 2 am, had great camera pictures. Talked with the Police, they said that was not Trespassing. We have a 6-foot fence all around. Recently a couple had an argument. She rented...
A friend asked me whether Louisville really had a world's fair. It did, and the paperwork has a good lesson in it for anyone who buys land. It was called the Southern Exposition. It opened August 1, 1883, and ran every summer and fall through 1887. The city's Board of Trade sold stock at $25 a sh...

Anyone have a good insurance broker they would recommend for commercial property? My current broker has gone MIA on me. Hasn't responded to any of my emails in the last 2-3 weeks. Policy is up for renewal so I guess I'll shop it around myself to other brokers. Thx!
I’m curious how hard it is to make a deal with no experience. I see these courses for sale where the owner bought a 75 door apartment complex with little to no money down and is guaranteeing a deal in 90 days or they buy you a property. I forget which one said this but it caught my attention. I j...
