Greatful to work with @VanVlissingenCo, an experienced team with a vast network of occupier and investment contacts.

We leased a high-credit tenant, renewed, and maximized profit for the owners with a direct sale.

So thankful for the opportunity to serve our clients!

West Marine’s bankruptcy isn’t just retail news.

It’s the middle class disappearing in real time.

When I grew up many middle class families had / shared a boat.

Today the money’s all at the top of the industry.

The casual retail buyer who anchored the business is gone.

@HowardRoark90 I was annoyed as a midwesterner but my southern wife was enraged.

Sales tip to the contractors who cold call me.

You’d be a lot more successful if you cold called me during business hours.

Just got a call during Sunday lunch with the family.

My wife’s response: If you ever work with them, I’ll kill both of you.

The Three Mile Island “Disaster” bothers me far less than disaster of rising energy costs, and the inflation that comes from it.

@murphy_thom More than 77% of boat owners had household income under $100,000, and 63% earned under $75,000.

Unfortunately this isn't strictly true. The Buffalo Bills' new stadium is infamously building *fewer seats* & adding more low-density corporate boxes than the 1970s stadium

Markets are good, but there's no use lying that profit maximization is always social welfare maximizing

@brucebolton Marina’s are the same playbook as mobile home parks and self-storage.

Some markets are seeing 10-15% annual price increases

@fuyaishdfasjdh Amazon is totally a huge part of the story.

@b2b_mikey @JulieChangRE 100% but a lot of fun in life is not a financially sound decision

[Gordon Lamphere J.D. 🏭 CRE @Gordon_CRE]

@JulieChangRE Decades ago it was much more middle class. For a variety of reasons.

[Gordon Lamphere J.D. 🏭 CRE @Gordon_CRE]

@eyefishing Huge reason as well

You’re selling plasma for a cheese burger.

I’m growing a portfolio of mealworm farms.

We are not the same…

Maybe there's something wrong with me... but I care far less about politics than the average person on here.

Did commercial real estate break my brain?

@thewealthster Contacting populations suffer as well. If the goal is minimizing suffering, I think we’re overshooting the landing. Economic history has us heading for a collapse from an over correction.

India just dropped below replacement fertility for the first time.

Mark this moment.

Your kids won’t fight over scarcity from too many people.

They’ll fight the brutal math of too few.

Contraction is the crisis nobody’s pricing in yet.
