Get out of your comfort zone.

Align your decision with your goals, market conditions, and comfort level.

Nostalgia for retail centers and the need for hybrid work environments are sparking opportunities in undervalued assets and multi-use developments.Seller Strategies: Sellers should think creatively to attract buyers.

A window A/C might keep it comfortable, but it often doesn’t meet the standard for counting it as fully finished square footage.

Even if the Fed lowers rates by a full 100 bps over the next 12 months, to 4.25%, the 10-year, in a normalized environment, should be at 5.5% (+125bps over the FFR).

I love researching good companies with good growth prospects and a long horizon to allow for compounding of value, much like finding a good property in a good area with good long term demographics in a friendly regulatory environment etc to allow for capital appreciation. 

We grew them in an environment where nothing required to be earned, everything was given simply for having wanted it.

Diving deeper.. check who’s on their team, how they structure their deals, and whether you’re comfortable with how the profit splits work.
