@elonmusk Elon are you looking to lease any office space? Let’s jump on a call tonight at 2am

@DanielOchs Get engaged to the rate. You can always leave the rate at the altar if a better rate comes by.

[Lease Armstrong @LeaseCRE]

Client just called me panicked about the 9.5% rate they just got on a loan

We are closing on the property tomorrow

He’s thinking of backing out

I’ll lose a $300,000 commission

I told him to take a deep breath and not to worry about the rate

“Don’t think of it as a 9.5% rate. Think of it as a 6% rate with a 3.5% tip for the bank.”

He liked that and said he’s ready to go ahead with the closing.

I love saving deals (and my commission)

@eglyman Let’s get Ramp into a brand new 500,000 square foot office building I happen to have listed in Cleveland. Get in touch!

@HaterReport If you think that’s a physical challenge, you should see hard my ear ached after making over 300 cold calls in a day with my Bluetooth earpiece

@erinkwoo @georgia_wells @MeghanBobrowsky Handsome commercial real estate brokers like myself don’t have to worry about this

[Lease Armstrong @LeaseCRE]

@molzer This is why I prefer the broker side. I can just pretend I know all that stuff and still get paid whether my advice works out or not.

Some brokers can sell a building at a 6 cap

I can sell the same building at a 4 cap, a 6 cap, and an 11 cap

Same building

Same rent roll

I just have three spreadsheets and the confidence to email all of them

@FluentInFinance Commercial real estate using 99.5% leverage: 90,000%

[Lease Armstrong @LeaseCRE]

@NickAbraham12 Anything less than a 95% close rate is an embarrassment to the sales profession

[Lease Armstrong @LeaseCRE]

@WatcherGuru What? I promised my clients rates would go down by next week so they can refinance

[Lease Armstrong @LeaseCRE]

@kenklippenstein The 10 year fell 0.05% over the last couple hours, home buying activity should come roaring back

[Lease Armstrong @LeaseCRE]

@skumWgmi Have they tried purchasing commercial warehouses? Those have made lots of money the last couple years

[Lease Armstrong @LeaseCRE]

I love being a real estate broker

[Lease Armstrong @LeaseCRE]

@Jefffeldman I’m still going to tell my clients it’s the perfect time to buy

[Lease Armstrong @LeaseCRE]

@danmartell 5am? In the real estate world, we call that sleeping in

[Lease Armstrong @LeaseCRE]

@dougboneparth This is exactly why I sleep in a sleeping bag under my desk at the office

@unusual_whales I work with a few of them

@trackingcosts Now is a generational opportunity to buy up 2012 Toyota Camrys in foreclosure for $2,900 and flip them for $2,950 on Facebook marketplace

Tenant asked for a $60/SF TI allowance

Landlord offered $4

I brought both sides together and found a compromise

The landlord will paint one (1) wall any color the tenant wants

As long as it's the same beige as the other walls

Another huge win for my client (the landlord)
