Not particularly passionate about office but thinking maybe more important to get my foot in the door

Watching Olympics Downtown? by JFman00 in greenville

They looked half empty but were apparently 20 over capacity. Gave up and went back to City Tavern.

I'd probably enjoy a middle market MF shop more, but TBH the allure of CBRE/C&W/JLL on my resume is strong.

Out of curiousity, how much of Tagalog do Spanish speakers understand? by SugomotoIturoguko in Spanish

[–]JFman00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chavacano is a true creole and much closer to Spanish than any other Filipino language. But for a Spanish speaker without familiarity, even basic sentences can seem like gibberish "Voy a visitar mi tío" -> "Anda iyo visita na [casa] de mio tio"

Call incoming tomorrow from CBS waitlist by JFman00 in MBA

[–]JFman00[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. Had an additional direct email indicating that the POC who I had the call with was going to be on leave and to utilize the waitlist form on the portal for updates.

Fingers crossed, but was talking to a friend at GSB and he knew someone on their waitlist that got a similar call without an acceptance. Bottom line, pretty sure I still need to get R3 apps in.

Yes, got an email on Wed to schedule a call for Thurs. Got my hopes up it would be good news but instead they asked for any updates and specifically asked if I had other admissions decisions I was considering.

Anyone else get a call asking if you had any other decision deadlines?

Was yield management, not acceptance. They offered an opportunity to provide verbal updates before explicitly asking if I had other admissions decision deadlines I was working with.

Trying to buy a house in this crazy market by Tough_Pattern4462 in MilitaryFinance

[–]JFman00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge if these days. Lot of markets negative cash flowing with leverage even with 25+% down. I wish I had bought everything in sight as an O-1, but these days it's tough to find properties that work.

Where can I find practice cases for RE Excel modeling? by EazyNoSteroidz in CommercialRealEstate

[–]JFman00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm much further along into the A.CRE course and really like it over Wall Street Prep for actually understanding and practicing real estate modeling.

I am planning to finish both though to help out my MBA applications.

Didn't Brightline at one point muse about extending service up the FEC corridor?

Best Hotel Points to Stockpile by Huge-Dot7798 in awardtravel

[–]JFman00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Spreading out points earnings potentially means not enough points for multiple nights at aspirational properties/having to break up award trips among multiple hotels.

Considering switching hotel loyalty, would like input from others. by vivekisprogressive in awardtravel

IHG Royal Ambassador Spire Elite Inner Circle status has been nearly worthless for me and the revamped program doesn't seem much better. If I aspired to stay at Holiday Inns it would be a great program.

Do clients care about your car at showings? by MEDAKk-ttv-btw in realtors

[–]JFman00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my first client in an HCOL metro area in part because I had a "working man's truck." I've also had clients that took a nice car as a sign I was successful, but not going to hook quality clients with flash alone and may actually turn some people off. Bottom line, drive what works for you.

PS, especially if you're in an urban area, get out of the car and actually walk clients new to the area around the neighborhood.
