5 days before the shooting, 40 minutes down the road from where it would happen, the President of the LDS Church said the attached quote. Prophetic, right? That's how I'll be striving to behave in the wake of all this madness. I may fail, but I'm gonna try.

Courses I wish they would start teaching at MRED schools: Debt levels 100-500 - Yes it is true you can buy or develop CRE without debt. But with debt you will be able to extend your platform across 5-6x more assets. DSCR, debt yield, prepayment structures and which is better,

UPDATE: Remember that one time we decided to live stream a renovation of a former Taco Bell to a new Dutch Bros. Yeah, well about that, once we started tearing out dry wall we discovered so much dry rot that our building was not structurally sound. So here we are…

Does anyone wonder why we don’t have more housing, more retail, more buildings being built. This is the daily kind of crap that we developers get to wade through. 🙄
GM to everyone except the DOT that just caused us to go through 6 months of reviewing a tie in to their storm drain catch and then while we are under construction revoking that option for us. These are the parts of development that are ‘fun’

In n Out next to the Linq is a monster volume store. It’s busy all day long every day. The store occupies about 5,000 SF Here’s the wild part: the lease structure is all % rent. If INO does $15,000,000 out of this location and if % rent is 8% then they would owe $1,200,000

GM. Happy Saturday. I love to build drive thru restaurants. If you choose to follow me on my journey you will hear all about the highs and lows of building these buildings. Building in the open separates me from almost all of my peers. 7 Brew Coffee McDonald’s In N Out
The best content on X is neither short form nor long form. It’s medium form: 1-2 paragraphs. It’s just short enough to hook someone and explain something interesting. But it’s not too long that people leave before reacting to it. Basically, this exact post.

As a fast food developer / operator why would I attend the All In Summit for my 2nd year? Paying attention to this crowd and the networking I have done with this group is incredible. This is how I figure out where my segment of the CRE industry is headed. This is the future.
