I hope I have been able to explain why billion dollar development companies see investment opportunities in low CAP rate areas, while average mom and pop investors get hung up on the 1% rule.

Greetings,Here is an update on the current Commercial Industrial Market in Los Angeles County, CA:Los Angeles is at the center of the 2 billion-SF Southern California industrial market and is a key industrial hub in the U.S.

I have worked as an acquisitions analyst for the last four years at a large REIT and then a private equity multi-family shopI have acquired over 1 billion (with a B) in real estate spread across 22 deals in 5 states I see a lot of questions on here about underwriting or deal analysis especially for multifamily.

Of course Boeing  Volvo  MBZ moving there and spending billions did not hurt.. as well as the number 1 tourist destination in the mid south 

What would you do if you were born into billions?

The states are sending checks now, student loan forgiveness is massive...another $500 billion that impacts 37 million people, and the doubling of the child tax credit will surface again.Inflation was caused by massive stimulus, supply chain disruptions, going to war, not enough drilling, limited immigration for 1-2 years, 2-4 million extra early retirees, 2-3 million extra people on disability due to long covid, and 1 million more people passed away (some of which were workers).
