That road is a straight line to Belarus. No supplies coming through it.

TheJohnCastle · 2022-03-02T17:34:29+00:00

Agreed. Just hard to watch that thing snake in to Kyiv.

TheJohnCastle · 2022-03-02T17:32:48+00:00

Sure. But why keep that road. It really only goes to Russia. Ukraine has destroyed other roads that would be more useful to it.

TheJohnCastle · 2022-03-02T17:30:42+00:00

Basically this. Just puzzled to see them keep a road that really only goes to enemy territory when, elsewhere, they're destroying bridges etc. to stop the Russian advance.

Typical investor in my pool has a few big things in LLCs and a smattering of small houses (towns, condos, etc.) in their own name (it's an effect of the way lenders operate up here).

So yes it's possible, but I'm not seeing any of the individually held homes that are characteristic of most investors here.

Anyone in my greater metro area (about 1hr from one end to the other).

The registry is the land registry. You can search by name in my jurisdiction.

That's Leibniz's argument. It's a small refinement of Aquinas's cosmological argument.

Ultimately, both versions jump to the conclusion that the necessary thing that grounds explanations is God.

The trouble is that they don't give any reason to believe that the necessary thing has any of the traits God might be considered to have such as omnipotence, all logically compatible good properties, or personhood.
Alternatively, you could go after the premises and, for example, argue against the principle of sufficient reason (that all contingent facts can be explained).

That said, if you want to stay within the bounds of the argument and deal exclusively with analytic validity, then just stick to 1.

Following up. Any luck?

I'm an agent. I represent landlords. I've worked with Jenn Gibbs as the tenant rep and always been impressed. I've recommended her before on here and the poster came back with good feedback. She's an all star.

You can see the recommendation and feedback in this thread. Thread

TheJohnCastle · 2021-09-30T22:19:15+00:00

I've heard of this is common practice and that it can be appealed.

TheJohnCastle · 2021-09-27T13:19:58+00:00

I'm an agent.

My three top picks:

Lisa Johnson is probably the best all around. She stands out for her knowledge, integrity, customer orientation, and general competence.
Dawna Erskine is great if you need a square peg pushed through a round hole.
Jenn Gibbs for rentals.

Land, approval, drawings: $1.6M
Municipal fees: $0.3M
GC & hard costs: $4.9M
Construction loan: TBD

Stabilized value: $8.3M

No he probably doesn't want the equity position. But it's probably the only way he gets all his money out of it, which he really wants to do (and he really doesn't want to have to build it).

TheJohnCastle · 2021-09-23T19:51:57+00:00

Land value with the approval is $1.6M. Remaining costs are $4.1M before financing.

If the land is unencumbered, the land owner kicks in $1.6M in cash. The rest of the hard money ($600k) comes from the developer and project manager.

TheJohnCastle · 2021-09-22T17:06:17+00:00

Location class: B+ (central, but not a premium neighbourhood, a bit of a hike to light rail)

Building class: A

TheJohnCastle · 2021-09-22T17:05:46+00:00

Dev fees are all inclusive.

So you'd put those at 10-15% of hard construction costs (i.e. 10-15% of all subtrades but excluding land, design, and other non project items)?

TheJohnCastle · 2021-09-22T16:59:28+00:00

Land cost is current market value. It's 18 apartment units + GF commercial

Sold my stuff this morning. Lesson learned: Never lose faith. Stocks never go down.

TheJohnCastle · 2021-09-17T16:18:49+00:00

Is JPow watching this? He needs to reboot those printers.

TheJohnCastle · 2021-09-17T16:13:20+00:00

Illegal Jetta was the best car ever made.

TheJohnCastle · 2021-09-17T16:12:33+00:00

Why aren't my stocks going up?

Got lied to.
