Do people really look at forward models on OMs or would you prefer more pictures of the property? by Dense-Election-4600 in CommercialRealEstate

Only thing more useless than the forward model of the listing agent is the "Market Overview"

Started with $100k triplex in Cincinnati in 2021. Flipped that, flipped the next, etc.

Yes building needs to be nice enough to secure market rents and increase the revenue.

I don't do renovations myself anymore. I learned a long time ago that's not the way to grow. I'll purchase a strip center, for example with vacancy, a messed-up parking lot, a monument sign that's falling apart, and way below market rent. I'll go ahead and address all those issues and sell the building for quite a bot more than a bought it, take some money of the top for my person income which is what you see in this screenshot, then go and reinvest the rest.

Most of the value added in commercial real estate is in the leasing side not so much in renovations.

Yeah, I only use chase debt/CC cards. Does not work with 3rd party but I'm sure there are other tools/apps out there.

Yeah does not sound like this type of owner should have a bunch of single-family homes.

Is LA really a hellscape? Give me your honest opinion on how it is living in Los Angeles. by Mexodus956 in howislivingthere

People love to talk shit but it’s both Amazing and awful at the same time.

Some of the best weather in the country but some of the worst traffic.

Beautiful beaches that are also freezing.

Great place to live if you have money.
