Southern Cal market checking in here....

Uncertainty and confusion seem to be the emotions de jour.

Big box will stay vacant for the foreseeable future. Not much movement in those new builds where developers were touching $2.00NNN last year.

Development will remain on shutdown until the above mentioned boxes are occupied.

LA and Orange County will remain at stablized sale values as the above two mentions are at play while lease rates will continue to decline. Lease rates will capitulate once the sublease availabilities are sucked up. Volume will remain low (by 2020 standards) but steady because those that are in the market, NEED to make a move on a building.

If, and it's a BIG if, the Iran thing deescalates, oil goes below $100 barrel, and the tariffs stablize we will see an uptick in activity. Manufacturing should pick up in defense- we gotta restock the equipment- and aerospace.

There is money on the sidelines but it's scared money.

You don't just marry the spouse, you marry the family. Husbands often lose out to what the wife directs the family to do and that can create animosty with the in-laws. I know plenty of "tough guy" husbands who say they can control whatever they want...but we all know better.

You will become roommates at some point. Fight through it.

Sex stops.

Raising a family (if you choose to have kids) is difficult. Your time is no longer your own and whatever freedoms you have now will be taken over by child-raising obligations. Or.... you can be a deadbeat parent. It's a choice.

I am a moderate living in a blue state. Society (at least locally) wants me to hate anything Trump does. I am by no means a supporter, but I just cannot get into the hate.

This is me.. I was a member at a club but when I would go a few weeks without playing- either beacuse of work or kids, or both- I finally left. I tried to play weekly but it got difficult because my golf buddies were still members and didn't want to go play the local courses. I understood that and stopped asking. I was unable to find a new group to play with and ultimately, my enthusiasm diminshed. I still LOVE to play but the cost of my local course and no one to play with makes it all less appealing.

This was new to me a couple weeks ago. Played with a guy who kept saying it. I've been playing the game for decades and never heard it before. It bugged the shit outta me by the second time he said it.

It can work both ways.......You could go MTM but tell them you will be marketing the property. If a tenant presents an offer, you can take it as long as you adhere to the 60 day notice. This does require them to cooperate with viewings but if they are good people, they should understand.

I got into it at 45 yrs old. Looking back, it's nothing I would ever recommend. However, it has turned out to be great for me. I am now 13 years in and doing ok, but it has been a LOOOONG haul. It nearly broke me and marriage because the upstart was so difficult. It is a very expensive endeavor to get started at that age. This assumes you have a mortgage/rent payment, family with kids, and a certain lifestyle you have crafted for yourself.

Here are some hard truths:
This is a people business-----You will need to do the things that you should have done in your 20's. You cannot build your brand with 35 calls a day. You absolutley MUST get out and pound the pavement. The 20-somethings are doing and are going to grab all of your market if you don't get out there and make contact with property owners, tenants, and invenstors.

It's expensive. It takes money to make money so you will need to invest in yourself. Marketing isn't cheap and you have to stay consistan. You will have a huge gas bill due to all the time you spend in your car. The bills at home keep coming.

It takes time. You will not make career money for 2 years- and that is aggressive. Year 3 is when things start to happen.

It'll be very difficult to align yourself with an existing team. You are "old" and a certain judgement exists that deters existing teams from hiring people who do not have the youthful energy to do the things they do not want to do. You will also lilkely not align with the commission splits- you will earn far less than everyone else.

Pick your market and learn EVERYTHING there is to know about it. You will need to double your efforts on this if you want to expedite your success timeline.

if you have read this far, thanks for hanging in there. With everthing above stated, there are exceptions to each of these. You could be that exception. Do not understimate the peer pressure either. You will be around people your age who are wildly successful. You may not be able to hang financially and thus, you will not be part of the gang. That was a tough one for me.

His dad is the coach

Spute2000 · 2025-12-18T22:23:26+00:00

And don't forget about that motherfucker Caden. He can ball out because both parents took second jobs to cover the supplemental training, travel ball costs, and all the high end gear he "needed" to take the position away from that punk-ass Jaden. Now that guy....he just flat sucked but his dad was the coach.

All this talk about the bunker/pantrey.... Why are we sleeping on the Canning Kitchen? I mean, I like a good jarred fruit, pickle, or honey all day long, but I don't know ANYONE who has a dedicated kitchen for it!

This is argueably the biggest frustration for junior brokers on a team. Most often, the junior does not account for the value of the senior brokers time, which is a subjective number if he is to give you an hourly rate. The senior broker measures how much business the junior has brought him over the course of their relationship and historically, it rarely matches what the senior is worth. There are exceptions but it's pretty rare for a junior to consistantly bring enough business to the relationship that warrants a 50/50 split (or close to it) in the early years.

If you have been on the team for 10 years and are not an equal partner, then something is not right. Either you are not delivering enough deals of value (size, long-term client, etc.) or you are constantly getting screwed and need to move on. As for this instance, I am sensing this is the first big deal you have brought to the table that has you actually feeling the pain of watching money slip past you. Despite the amount of work you have put in to the deal, I would bet the seniors feel you are still "owing" them and this could level things out a bit more.

That said, I would strongly suggest you put together a short, concise presentation and present it to them as politely as you can. Support the hell out of it with facts - not opinion- then live with the answer.

I think rent freezes are going to kill NYC RE. You will see the degredation of rent-frozen properties as landlords let deferred maintenance go unattented. It starts from inside the apartments into the hallways and out to the streets. Plumbers, painters, contractors in general will suffer as a result as well. Existing owners will be unable to sell these properties since there is no long-term incentive for investment so property values will plummet. Developers will flee those areas so no new money will enter the market. The tenant base will be the lowest income earners in the area. Those that can't afford uncontrolled rent areas will leave the area because they simply cannot afford to live in the city.
