Who here has successfully transferred their account management and project management skills from the Silicon Valley software industry into the New York City real estate industry?

I see this as a great opportunity to meet great people and to learn about the industry, both practices and in local real estate.Thanks again, and hopefully in the coming years I will learn enough to be able to contribute to this community!

So on my day off I drove to the address he gave me and it turned out to be a big warehouse located in the industrial area.

Being a college town with a strong oil/gas industry presence, I expect rents to remain stable and/or even increase over time.

Nate, the best place to start is at your bank.When you get into business loans with brokers, most specialize in types of businesses or industries.

I have been in this town for years and very active in this market and few other states.If you look back before the BOOM years (03-07)Vegas has always had a flat market and cheap housing.Most people are in service industry in the town and are living based off tips, income hasn't and was never changed it was only the pricing that went off the proof, unemployment is high and housing is where it really needs to be.CHEAP Housing in the DESERT!

@Tony GunterThe Birmingham market is stable because of the healthcare and biosciences industries. 

A flooring expert was called and we have been drying the kitchen and the basement since couple of days using industrial dehumidifiers and fans.

Being forced to work 12+ hours on Christmas (I was previously in the public safety industry) made me do some quick math and realize how few of these Holidays I may have left with my kids. 

I think it's about R-4 so maybe three layers.On a gas unit keep the bottom combustion air inlets open and do not block the draft hood openings on the top.For myself I would probably glue on 1" sheet Rubatex insulation and make a nice industrial-looking job out of it.
