I’m on this app because I’ve got another 30- 35 years left in me for this industry and I see a talent cliff in the next 10 years. There is a lot of wisdom and skill about to retire and I want to capture it and share it with the next generation
Can signing a new lease make the value of your shopping center go down? Yes. Here are a few ways: (These are generalized… nuances not addressed for brevity sake) 1. The new tenant is coming in at a significantly lower rent than the other tenants in the center without…
Moms are like 🤔 “what’s a vacation?”
Thanks to AirBnB, vacation is now also: - grocery shopping - cooking - washing dishes - cleaning - doing laundry - showering without soap - drinking yours friends’ lousy coffee - being woken up by your friends’ loud A kids Thanks guys!
I really want to connect with other smaller CRE firm owners that do a large amount of third party property management. 100+ properties and preferably retail focused. Would love to compare notes.

This post has nothing to do with real estate. If you are planning on becoming a mom… unfollow all the mom influencers. It’s not healthy and it’s just not real. Make real mom friends instead, preferably those with kids older than yours that have seen some stuff and have…
I went under anesthesia and my husband took my phone away. You guys missed some gold today.
I want agents to abstract leases and build rent rolls and do reconciliations for the same reason my finance teacher in college made us learn to do the formulas by hand. It’s about understanding how everything is correlated and how one tiny change can produce an entirely…
Love this description.
Being a fiduciary: Sitting next to the cookie jar for decades with no one around & never reaching your hand in
Is general anesthesia safe enough we could offer it as a service to exhausted parents that just really need a nap? Think like a spa but they tuck you in , you sleep for several hours and then wake you up with snacks. I’d invest.
