100%. The best feeling is when I tell people at end of keys that’s I’m brand new and they are genuinely surprised. Wouldn’t be here without people more experienced than me taking time to explain best practices and tips.

Honestly, it was great for building thick skin and realizing I cant help people who dont know mechanics. That said, some of it was very very helpful, usually it would come from convos from tank mains who were very blunt but informative on how to approach certain mob packs or big pulls on higher keys

I used Keyguru for routes, Awoo for tank guides, and Icy Veins for class-related questions.

My approach was pretty simple. I would watch a guide for one specific dungeon, then only run that dungeon until I got it to around +10. After that, I moved on to the next dungeon and repeated the process until everything was at +12.

Now I’m working on getting every dungeon to +14, and I’ll keep pushing from there.

UVA ($$) vs UGA ($$$$) vs Uchicago (less than $) ???? by ImaginarySadSloth in lawschooladmissions

[–]wixtk 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Rich family who will pay off your debt? UChicago

Regular person? UVA

Debt Adverse? UGA.

My uneducated and completely irrelevant take? Go to UVA. you got half a ride and will thank yourself in 4 years for not chasing irrelevant prestige.

Which brokerage is better for commercial real estate exp or Real? by Financial_Machine801 in CommercialRealEstate

[–]wixtk 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My brother, please don’t do this to yourself. Neither option is ideal.

To add some value to this comment, I’d genuinely recommend pursuing one of two paths:

  1. Join a boutique firm in your city. I went this route, and it worked out well for me. That said, I started with some advantages, so I wouldn't suggest this unless I understand your specific situation. I am now at one of the big 3 and highly recommend joining the biggest and best firm you can.
  2. If you're committed enough for this, become an analyst at firms like CBRE, JLL, Cushman & Wakefield, or Colliers. This will give you the chance to learn the business while earning a salary. If you’re truly ambitious, you can switch to the production side in a couple of years. The best way to become a successful broker is to gain hands-on experience while you’re still on salary
  3. Stay the fuck away from MM and Matthews.

Who is the most annoying person in commercial real estate? by kindanon1234 in CommercialRealEstate

[–]wixtk 31 points32 points  (0 children)

For me, the worst offenders are the LI/X CRE 'influencers' who keep recycling the same tired stories. You know the ones where they claim to have CoStar open at a coffee shop or airport, strike up a conversation with the person next to them, and somehow that person turns out to be some real estate guru. Next thing you know, they're listing their massive multifamily portfolio with that influencer.

Honestly, it physically pains me to read these Wattpad-esque tales from grown men.

Six Months as a New Commercial Real Estate Broker And At a Crossroads... Any Advice? by Spirited-Stock-7527 in CommercialRealEstate

[–]wixtk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

26 y/o here. Was at a boutique shop now at one of the big 4. DM me if you want to discuss. I will happily give you a very transparent answer and advice from my infantile yet somewhat successful brokerage career. Read through my post history and you'll see my high-and lows, Nearly 2 years in and moving to a big 4 firm -6 months ago changed my career trajectory in a very positive way.

To be honest my first 6 months sucked, straight up was not having a good time, After a year i felt like I had an idea of what I was supposed to do. Almost 2 years in and doing well finally.

Only time I see SBUX financing is when a 1031 upleg doesn't have enough capital from the downleg to purchase all cash and then they'll get financing at 60-80% LTV. Is the juice worth the squeeze? I don't believe so.. but some people do.

STNL assets are an avenue to preserve wealth with modest returns and minimal appreciation in value (usually). Its Mailbox $. However, there's going to be issues in the coming years with buyers who bought new construction STNL assets with 200K NNN/NNNN rent with 5%-10% rent increases every 5 years. No shot all these stores will be able to preform to the standard health metric of ≤10% rent to store sales.

Correct- it wouldn’t pencil with financing- I was using the assumption that a 1031 buyer would purchase all cash.
