Those that choose and can rebuild, will most likely not build back to the extent or scale due to feasibility or costs or unanticipated new zoning, infrastructure, insurance and legal variables.

I'm coming from smaller scale mixed use development and fundraising.

Analyzing an investment with the Cash on Cash return makes more sense to me.I got .93 from the MLS in Tucson in 2024 - but you also need to consider the longer vacancy vs. a higher grade property. 

His IG videos are low-budget and I have seen grade schoolers make better vids. 

It’s about balancing your goals: paying yourself back versus scaling quickly.

hard to compare both exactly but I would say we may be higher on the scale overall than many areas (and maybe moving on up further after this morning and this afternoon)

And on a smaller scale Yonkers and mount Vernon.  

Trying to decide what is next as we scale.  

Yes, it's true that you might be able to find a product you need at a greater discount when a brand like Wayfair or CB2 is having a sale, but I've found that they truly do offer superior discounts at scale, even considering the fee. 

So, I dove in.The first thing that stood out to me was the scale of the issue.
