@REDevManager @kaylanknit @AveryIrwin @instagram And when they claim procuring cause and stick their hand out for a fee, kindly show them YOUR material on their page and tell them to pound sand.

@kaylanknit @AveryIrwin @instagram You have the listing agreement. You control the commission agreement- you can politely send it back at 0% and tell him to have his client* pay him. Get the extra views. It’s good for your client.

@instagram i need some help - someone posted a video of my listing and didnt give any credit but posted my site plan and highlights verbatim like he’s selling my deal… its going viral and after i told him multiple times i wanted it deleted since he doesnt own the content he is now ghosting me… need yall to take it down

@MultifamilyIan @TopherNOW It sounds like Ian trying to speak like Claude.

@Carson_CRE @TopherNOW This is quietly going to change stuff This isn’t a shift, it’s a structural change

AI slop has gotten bad enough that LinkedIn is reportedly taking action. Even wilder: Cloudflare says 57.4% of requests to websites it hosts are now bots, vs. 42.6% from humans. Hoping this tips the scales back towards authentic, in-person relationships. One can hope.

@calcaneus1326 @KhaliliJon61822 @jonbrooks Demand > Supply

@KhaliliJon61822 @Carson_CRE @jonbrooks Land has gotten way more expensive, especially in the metros they’ve build in.

Lennar is now spending 13.3% per home sale on incentives. That’s roughly: $60,000 on a $450k house. Builders don’t burn $60k per transaction unless demand is falling much faster than people realize.

@ChadGriffiths @HowardRoark90 @rohde88 Your tuxedo is jeans, @ChadGriffiths.

@HowardRoark90 @rohde88 We need an industrial real estate gala! But jeans instead of tuxedos BBQ instead of hor d'oeuvre Beer instead of champagne Basically lunch, we need an industrial real estate lunch

Sometimes I wonder how tf I ended up where I am today… >In college, I started off thinking I’d be an architect >realized 5.5 years and 172 credit hours weren’t for me >quickly transitioned into the Building Science co-op program at Auburn >realized I was better at math than I thought and wanted a more rigorous academic path >transferred to Armstrong State in Savannah (now Georgia Southern Armstrong Campus) to study electrical engineering >finished the engineering core but didn’t want to transfer a second time to Georgia Tech to finish the degree >pivoted and got an Economics degree instead >ironically, instead of 5.5 yrs of architecture, took me 6 yrs total to graduate college anyways >moved back to ATL looking for work >after graduating, the only real experience was the building science co-op/internships >couldn’t land anything in finance with my econ degree without an MBA or MS in Finance >finally landed a job with a shitty local general contractor doing USDA rural development project housing rehabs >worked for a small local shop in ATL for a bit then Holder shipped me out to SLC in 2016 >worked on a $2.5B mega project in SLC which was the airport redevelopment project >my portion of the airport wrapped up in 2018 >decided I was sick of the high desert in the summer and inversion in the winter >wanted to be in NYC instead >couldn’t land anything in NYC, but managed to get DPR to ship me back east to DC to work on mission-critical and advanced tech projects >in all, ended up climbing the GC ladder for ~4 years, but then got the chance to move to the owner’s side in 2019 with Lincoln Property Company in DC >worked on office and industrial development with LPC as a Construction and Development manager >picked up a real estate license on the side at the end of 2019 so I could one day open my own brokerage >moonlit some high-end residential sales and did a few CRE leases on the side >COVID wrecked all of my previous plans and what I had earmarked for 2020 >only silver lining was meeting my wife-to-be >loved working at LPC, but ‘Rona lockdowns finally got to me >ultimately left DC and told the libtards sayonara at the end of 2021 >came back to ATL and convinced future wifey to join so I could do ground-up multifamily development with a regional firm >cranked out ~4K units through entitlement >got through ~350 units full lifecycle before the interest rate hikes destroyed the firm’s pipeline >got laid off at the end of 2022 >been on my own ever since >worked on a few of my own investments, including some single-family flips >hated flipping so found a contract gig at the end of 2023 doing due diligence lender advisory consulting, and monthly draw reporting on several $100+ million projects for debt & equity groups based out of NYC >still doing consulting, but opened my own brokerage firm in Q2 2024 >ended my consulting contract in Q1 2025 >been focused on building a vertically integrated regional firm across GA & SC as a Managing Broker >still a small team currently but tons of recruitment activity lately >we do investment sales, landlord advisory, tenant rep, property/asset management, capital markets, fee development, and development consulting >focusing mainly on the full development lifecycle of industrial, retail, and multifamily assets, including developable land So, while it’s not exactly the path I planned, it’s the one that got me here And tbh, haven’t starved yet and am loving every minute of it (well, not the lumpy cash flows and crippling uncertainty, but it still beats the shit out of a 9-5 desk job 🙃) DMs open, so don’t hesitate to reach out I'm always looking for good deals and love meeting good people! 🫡

@KhaliliJon61822 @jonbrooks Newsflash: it has ALWAYS been driven by money. Nobody was building houses for people to buy with the goal of not making money. Land costs rose because the amount someone was willing to pay for that land rose. Apply the same principal to labor and every other expense.

This proves I was right , greed has always been part of it. Land costs didn’t magically rise. Sellers got greedy to the people who wanted to leave the strict COVID lockdown areas and just kept jacking the prices on them. Houses used to be the place you started a family. Now they’re just another asset people use to pad their portfolio and financially beat everyone else. Local officials got greedy too. They want their cut of the pie, which is why permits and approvals (basically legalized bribes at this point) keep getting more expensive. Meanwhile a computer, a phone, or a 70-inch TV is packed with more precious metals than an entire central air unit… and those keep getting cheaper every single year. So explain how housing costs only go one direction. Greed is the difference.

@SMB_Attorney @TanziGiovanni What about “I’m leaving it to my senior living and health insurance provider ”?

@TanziGiovanni Fortunately, it doesn’t work that way

Imagine when they start to transfer these? Some might call it… A SILVER TSUNAMI™️

@DallasAptGP Are people sitting at the starting gates for the map release then blasting offers in bulk immediately after?

There is going to be a lot of equity in 2027 for Opportunity Zone real estate Have recently heard of 3 groups that have never done OZ deals who each plan to raise and deploy $250M or more Every legacy OZ group is raising as well Permanency of the program is a big deal

@RolandMartin26 @jonbrooks New builds make you pay transaction costs, but will pay your buyer agent fee typically IF they are involved from day one.

@jonbrooks On a $450,000 house purchase realtors get $27,000. That’s double the 5% down payment! Absurd rip off, huh?

@KhaliliJon61822 @jonbrooks Land costs did. Entitlement costs did. Civil costs did. MEP trades did. Roofing did. And yeah, materials did too. Acting like 100% of price increases is corporate greed is silly.

@jonbrooks They spent $70,000 in total on labor and materials. Wood did not become magically more expensive.

@FrontierBDesign @ToddTopliff @ToddTopliff try this first, then hire one of the other dozen commenters if it doesn’t work out lol.

@ToddTopliff Run it through Claude code. Did that one for one of mine and just ran with it. Took 15 minutes.

Wow! They weren't bluffing. Let's see how opponents to their original proposal feel about it now. Should have taken what was offered. Now you're gonna get what they can do by right. London Bay Pulls Big Project at The 11th Hour beachtalkradionews.com/london-bay-pul…

@MultifamilyRob @Dirtdog But an absolute STUD with it.

@Dirtdog You are a handsome man without that stache 😂

Picking new headshots for the world wide web It seems public feedback is clearly the way to go with this decision. Option 1: "I'm Chris and I'm here to work 65+ hours a week building drive thru's" Option 2: "The word 'no' has always been a soft 'yes' in my book

@TheMoRegalado @Dirtdog

@Dirtdog The stache wins

@shawngorham @Hunter_Weiss What isn’t these days?

@Hunter_Weiss I agree with that, lots of you tube videos show the process. but also there are Chinese brands knocking them off like crazy

Does this make any sense? Do you get it now?

@evanweirCRE @RudeDawgRules Zoning laws, I’d assume.

@RudeDawgRules What is stopping you from putting a bed in one of these things?

Great concept. Absolute failure in execution. - to far from stadium - can't sleep in your suite "Let's buy a $600,000 tailgate spot miles from the stadium and then get a seperate hotel room to sleep".

@DanielHerrold @MSpangenbergCRE @Zack_Zig Beautiful site. I had you pegged as a retail guy!

This deal is a good example of how we like to work, start to finish. A St. Louis based industrial developer brought us a build to suit opportunity where they needed an JV equity partner. We brought in a family office, sourced 100% of the equity, and structured the joint venture between them and the developer. We also assisted on the front end on advising the developer on the lease structure & language to maximize marketability of the asset on the back end. Once the project was completed (this May), we ran a targeted sale process rather than a wide blast, as we had a pretty good understanding of the depth of the industrial buyer pool that could execute on a sale quickly. From that process we sourced more than a half dozen offers from DST and institutional buyers, and ended up selecting all cash DST sponsor who closed in 40 days from the signed LOI. Fantastic execution by the team! Two things we're working on now: The family office is actively looking for JV equity opportunities for industrial build-to-suits. And the DST sponsor is hungry and looking for more deals! If you're a developer who needs an equity partner, or you have a net lease asset that could fit, let's talk.

@way0utwest @thatjeffsmith Lucid has a ways to go as a brand but I think there’s a significant market of upper middle class parents that would be well suited with a luxury minivan.

@thatjeffsmith @Carson_CRE I don't know if it will be everywhere. It's is a $$$ car. It's a much nicer car than a Tesla, but a worse computer.

Sold the Tesla today. Nice to have that weight off my shoulders. The new ride:
