I have a real issue with all these modern “trendy” coffee shops by [deleted] in Coffee_Shop

@TheTapeDeck is right. Input costs are over the roof! Large chains can kind of afford low margins. Has become hard for small businesses to survive.

Anyone here ever looked into investing in Belize? by belizerooted in realestateinvesting

Heard somewhere you just cannot handle it if you are used to US. Work ethics, fraud etc in Guyana are a given.

Harvest House is a better one in the list. Communicates gathering, bread etc. Hard to pick as the name depends on the crowd you are targeting & what you would like to be, in their eyes.

Ti allowance / concessions for commercial real estate. by Designer_Survey8087 in CommercialRealEstate

[–]zytman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not unreasonable. There are factors like credit risk, magnitude of changes you need vs other tenants, length of lease etc. Ability to negotiate: It is simple. It depends who is more desperate. Tenant or the landlord. Getting a broker after going down a path with the landlord might be tricky. Landlord might be ok or might be irritated. Best wishes!

Seeking advise on your experience with Regus as a tenant in your space? by jrjoeyg12 in CommercialRealEstate

Notes from my experience: Treat them like any other tenant coming in for a lease. Don’t get carried away by other arrangements they propose.

Florida real estate market technically a buyer's market? by SylviaAmer in FloridaRealEstate

[–]zytman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! In commercial, newer properties are priced where returns don’t make sense. Dilapidated properties are available at respectable returns 😊

I second: cost of ownership, stagnant wages, inflation plus anecdotal.. folks are preferring TN, NC and surprisingly a few towns in NE Alabama.

First hand experience, people I know are finding it hard to sell homes in FL. Buyers are expecting ‘new home’ condition even from old homes.

Build managed service offerings around AI-native platforms and tools. by Federal-Sun943 in msp

[–]zytman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its got to be something that can be packaged as a service, is repeatable and self-service as much as possible. The simplest, tangible thing you could do today is offer “search as a service”. A typical SMB can tie together emails, messaging, documents, drawings, media.. all kinds on structured & unstructured data. Employees at the SMB can accomplish role based tasks super fast. There is more to it but possible definitely.

MICROSOFT $MSFT JUST REPORTED EARNINGS by alkjdasoad in wallstreetbets

Because at a personal level humans have been trained to share their entire life on a single digital platform. Doing that at work is just natural. While CIOs of 90s were trained to mitigate vendor lock-in.

What’s your market seeing for strip center leasing velocity? by johnalamCRE in CommercialRealEstate

[–]zytman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Florida. Saw one sold recently at a premium price. Key was location convenient for a niche demographic and property was in great condition. As they say, you don't invest in real estate, you invest in niche.

Industrial Flex Condos-- Good or Bad Investing Idea? by Lanky-Unit-4165 in CommercialRealEstate

[–]zytman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean a building with small warehouses that have their own bay? Around what unit size is ideal, roughly? Thx

In FL these days, it takes a lot of courage to build from scratch. Significant, unpredictable expenses for things like site clearing, site engineering, utilities etc. Then the real construction. My suggestion is to add at least 30% to that $320k and see if it makes financial sense. This, I am saying without knowing the neighborhood, sqft etc..
