Uncle Mo there are no silver bullets out there.Of course you heard of a big commission but not everything that went into that commission.The difference in commercial leasing is usually you have a 9 to 5 Monday through Friday type of environment with occasional work on the weekends but not frequent.There is a difference between a buyers broker helping locate space and a listing leasing broker negotiating the leases and doing the ongoing property management.The ongoing commercial property management for retail can be very intense.The owners want constant auditing and checks and balances to wring out every last cent with the property.It is very intensive and hard work.

i mean to say, i don't mean your obvious occasional big purchases, the loan/tax/insurance payments, and/or all the tax that goes to uncle $am on ur short term flips.buy everyday or weekly expenses.for me lookin at my debit card $100 there and $200 there most every day of the week at home depot and sometimes as much as $900 in a single purchase (2 oversize carts); that's over $2,000 a week! 

My family and I do watch an occasional show but spend most of our time making fun of the bad math, sure hope I can miss a budget by 100% and still make 90k.

There's some decent deals occasionally though.

We take good care of our "birddogs", and have even surprised them with an occasional bonus.

Too many posts are blurring together in my brain, and after looking through half of mine I still can't find it.

It should clue the occasional real estate/finance practitioner into doing some more due diligence.

All positive stuff..... the addition of some higher end apartments for the occasional Brooklyn or Beacon transport isn't the end of the world.  

Oh ok, you mean, as long as rents keep coming and there is enough money to replace HVACs and deal with the occasional vacancy, it doesn't really matter if the market value sinks or not, because you won't be selling when you are technically under water?

Exception being the occasional self-managing owner who will provide a year or two of their rental reports.
