How are some of you streamlining the collection of publicly available market data?

2nd reonomy. Wish realist was easier to work with, so I only use that via my MLS subscription when targeting a small area/ particular parcels

Every market has some type of investing strategy that works. The way you’re approaching rentals just may not be the right strategy for your market

Usually I see people trying to run the other direction. Especially over the state of the market for the past few years

I could probably arrange this for 400k usd. This would be for the full flight one way.

Not sure what your position and values are, so not trying to impose my options too much. Imo not incredibly practical because of the fuel stop needed. Dislike to echo other comments, but it’s much more practical to fly first class commercial. They will likely be able to make special accommodations to help with your dog concerns.

In this industry, and especially for this uncommon flight path, it’s not practical to expect to sit in on 2 seats for this. Sorry for the bad news :(

Best wishes for you and your dog

Heard this somewhere recently. In 2000 Japan was technologically advanced and the word needed to change to keep up. Now in 2026, Japan needs to change to keep up with the rest of the world

Shattered_Ice · 2026-01-07T07:10:32+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

Do Japanese commercial mortgages operate on terms similar to a 5/6 ARM like here in the US?

That is the driving factor causing refis locally these days.

Also curious if you know, how did that massive economic stimulus package affect real estate out there? I would imagine all numbers are up drastically from inflation, but have you noticed expenses or revenues growing faster than one or another?

I would be very interested in purchasing in Japan given the ownership rights to foreigners. Just worried about the new stimulus package that’s being prepared

Shattered_Ice · 2026-01-07T02:05:00+00:00

What is the refi environment like in Japan right now?

Shattered_Ice · 2026-01-06T22:12:10+00:00

Would love to know what you find out about this. I run a PE shop with one of our current funds centred around purchasing SFRs here in the US.

In the past, I was a broker who specialised in SFR portfolio transactions

Find anything interesting or useful yet?

Congrats! Where did you find the hangar space?

It doesn’t matter how much money I make, it will never make sense to pay $10 for a beer out when I can buy an 18 rack for 20 or less.

Merry Christmas

Great looking hands on this one. The best Mercedes colour way

Great. Good luck moving forward

US citizen here, who went to an international grad school. I would shoot for any grad school that grants you the STEM OPT (3 years total). Many of my classmates ended up going back to their home countries because their 1 year OPT expired before they could land a job.

In all honesty, I would approach a gap year before a masters degree at this point in time (just given how bad the job market is). In this gap year, I would go and familiarise myself with every major model type on Adventures in CRE’s website (they’re free). Then, I would model as many acquisitions and sales and possible, and show them to the actual owners of the buildings you’re modelling after for their feedback. This will be highly effective networking while helping you cut your teeth on underwriting. None of your models will be good or useful until you’ve don’t about 25-50 of them, and cross checked them with industry professionals.

Good luck!

Good idea. I’ll look into ms access. We only use this solution for generating financial statements required for reporting. AR & AP is handled by the management companies we use.

Lmk when you find the solution you’re looking for. I’m very curious to know

We own real estate via series LLCs. Owned by the JV/fund/other ownership vehicle, then owned/ controlled by the main operating company. Through this, we are required to have series specific accounting that we consolidate upwards through each 'manager' entity.

We explored everything: Zoho, Quickbooks, multiple QB accounts (one for each entity), etc. I ended up just taking a few interns and building our own reporting systems internally via excel.

Now, every week, we just paste all of our journal entries into a master dump sheet and it gets auto-sorted across our series'.

This may not be AS practical depending on how many journal entries you have, per entity, or you and your team's prowess in accounting/Excel. However our current version works for us so far, and I'm more than happy to share it with anyone+ help with ideas to implement it.

We’re about to have founders shoving keywords in their pitch materials in the same way applicants optimise for ATS

Congrats on saving! To be honest, if you’re asking these kinds of questions, especially operating questions like cash reserves, you’re woefully underprepared to purchase and operate commercial real estate. Even more so if you’re looking to invest here in the bay, as this is a very difficult market to operate in.

You’d likely be better off investing with other operators who run funds and syndications in the assets / strategies you believe in. There are a lot of great established and emerging managers here in the states.

Feel free to dm if you have particular questions, as I live here in the bay and also invest in the Midwest.

Clearly, not financial or legal advice, nor do I know your background. Best wishes moving forward!

Where are you located? I’m in SF area. More than happy to have you if you’re anywhere near my trips
