I don't put too much weight on this, but if I can't decide otherwise, I will look at this.Hope this helps!

So in all these sector rotation, the weighting aspect in sP500 is taking place as expected.In 2023 the majority of S&P acceleration occurred because of top ten Tech stock, so while the Q is making 30% return the S&P is about 8-10%.

Dealing with those that received lump sums from any source is an indication they lack the ability to save, the skin in the game carries less weight than if it had been saved over time, with the blood, sweat and tears.

Currently working on an mobile application to do so but, as of now I use a light weight CRM. 

If you are trying to blend one project with the next I would use the same discount rates and weight the projects by their overall value to come up with an overall return for the rental portfolio.

To make it successful, especially in smaller deals like a 1,200 sq ft retail space you may be looking at startup businesses, you really need to know if your tenant can pull the weight, make the payments or go bust.

There are three approaches, market, cost and income, you may need to give greater weight to the other two.

Is there a basement for a weight room?

I'm sure there will be hurricane straps required. your also gonna need to assess and check with building to make sure the first floors walls can carry the new 2nd floor. you may need to add some structural to carry the load. your taking what was essentially a finished attic on the Cape and adding the weight of the whole 2nd floor. also as someone else said earlier think about how it's going to look from the outisde. the first floor wall is gonna be pretty tall.

I run a business from my office at home in Chicago...I am starting to build out a decent size team now, when before all my help was from Independact Contractors (Virtually).I have been looking at some office space.Here is a cliff notes version of what's going on:I need an office where I can shoot Youtube Videos (Twice The Speed TV)...My videos consist of workouts for athletes so I would need to put down some turf and rubber flooring to bring some weights in there.I don't know whether I should try to lease something (short term) or just buy something (like an industrial Condo) and then fix it up to how I want.I have the capital to do either, so I am just wondering what would the ideal approach be if I am looking to get an office in Chicago.Thanks,JC
