Who’s working on a value add industrial deal? Let’s talk!

@bridgelenderguy Nice! Which llm did you use? Could you have done it direct with an agent with out Openclaw?

I got a BS rent increase from my self storage unit owners "based on market conditions" My clawdbot pulled current move in rents at the facility and ran a comp report and asked them to reverse the charges

@Jefffeldman @wduzzer92 We do it for bridge

@wduzzer92 Ok fine, that may be tough 😅

Someone tell me non recourse debt is real. Every local lender says they do it, but when push comes to shove, lol nah bruh they don’t.

Got de boarded and delayed by @united for 21 hours so far and they were so generous to offer a full package consisting of a 1 time use $15 meal coupon and a refund the bag I am no longer checking.

@rohde88 Nice! How have you been financing the deals? Are you getting better terms for the flex?

After $30M in industrial outdoor storage, I’m not done investing, but I am changing my strategy. Here’s why I just bought my first Flex Industrial deal 🧵

@Jeffdthompson Let’s go!

Pumpkin is ready to go!!

@bridgelenderguy 👀

I just saw a deal that exited at 22% IRR over a 23 year hold - that's a 14x equity multiple for those keeping score at home

@MaxFisherCRE Nice! Just curious, is the IOS still considered the primary use?

@barrettjoneill Happy to take a look at the debt, maybe we can get higher leverage here and help with the capital stack.

Working a distressed industrial portfolio in Metro Boston. Has the chance to be an absolute home run, but will take some creativity. I am uniquely qualified to execute this deal. If you’re accredited (and creative) I’d love to talk to you. DMs open.

@jefffeldman More precisely, To the wire cutoff time on the latest day to close

@investingcre 😂

Love the people who work on holidays and have to let everyone know. Such grinders

We are live with our website! Check us out at sapphire-lending.com Now it's time to close more deals!

@Jeffdthompson But it’s really a pic of you at the Galla…

My profile picture is me. Wearing a tux. 🤷‍♂️

@AdamHKlein 🔥

One of the coolest parts about launching a new firm is having your friends/clients reach out telling you they want to be your companies first deal. I guess what I’m saying is we’re not in the commercial real estate business, we’re in the relationship business. 🙂

@realEstateTrent We put a big focus on using ai

Met with a guy today who runs a small debt fund, asked him what his biggest challenge was: "I feel like I'm way behind on AI and that my competition is probably using AI tools like crazy, and getting way ahead of me." I think lots of people are feeling this. Any merit to it?

@Jeffdthompson LOI is signed?

Working a lease deal for a space. We got an agreed upon LOI within a month of going to market. Then all of a sudden we had an incredible influx of three other solid proposals. At this point we are at lease with the first group but one of the late arrivals is presenting a better rent, credit, and term deal. I want to give the first group a shot to match. What would you do?

@ChaseFeiger @FortuneMagazine @ChrisCamillo @ostrohealth @AhmedElsayyad_ Nice! Are there specific companies you are investing in that you belive can deliver durable outcomes?

@FortuneMagazine asked me about the so-called “AI bubble.” My take: volatility is part of every major tech cycle, but in healthcare, AI’s impact is already tangible. Cc: @ChrisCamillo @ostrohealth @AhmedElsayyad_ fortune.com/2025/08/20/exp…

@RyanGTuttle 😂 The better question is, is it the same guy every day?

Don't draft an email like this to a lender: ----- Subject line: URGENT - QUOTE "[Address] [FICO] Email me a term sheet ASAP please." You'd be surprised, but I get this about once a day.

@fortworthchris What does he do to vet a new lender before recommending them to a client?

This week I’ll also be sitting down with my friend Chad Lavender, President of Capital Markets - North America at Newmark. We’ll be covering quite a bit. What would you like to know?

@investingcre Let’s do a deal!

Over the past 2 months, I brokered a few loans for friends. All in the $5M to $15M range. Observations from being on both the lender and broker side (private money only): -Tons of capital chasing these deals and new lenders entering the space weekly. If it’s a quality deal, it will get funded quickly with favorable terms. -If you know what you’re doing, you can deliver close to a full package and address most of the lenders questions and concerns before they even ask (goes a long way). -Telling a friend their property isn’t worth close to what they think is a fun conversation

What factor do you consider the most when choosing a lender? Rate/Terms? Certainty of execution? Speed? Personal Referrals/Reputation? Servicing? Recourse? Something else?
